My Story
My name is Shane barker and I created shanebarkerfitness.com so that you can have all the tools you need to reach your fitness and health goals, all in one place.
During my teenage years, I was determined to achieve the body of my dreams. I put in hours of training week after week, researching every confusing thing about fitness, pouring my heart into it all. But life had other plans for me. Turns out, we discovered an abscess on my brain.
Talk about a buzzkill for a 17-year-old kid.
It was a challenging time that took away my progress and left me feeling drained and unable to engage in physical activities. I was hospitalised for about 20 days, losing 19kg of muscle, strength, and chicken breast.
After a long and arduous recovery period, I finally received the green light to exercise again. It felt like I had been granted a newfound freedom. Slowly but surely, I got back into the swing of things.
I even indulged in some serious eating (I mean, it was like a food festival in my stomach) and lifting weights whenever I had the chance. I did everything I knew from hours and hours of research to be able to regain my any progress I had before.
This life-altering experience led me to pursue a career as a personal trainer. It just made sense to me. I wanted to help others, regardless of the obstacles life presented to them. Because, let's face it, we all face challenges while striving for our goals and dreams.
Here I am today, ready to make your journey a little bit easier.
I'm Shane, your dedicated health and fitness coach for life.
Together, we'll navigate the hurdles, celebrate the victories, and have a great time along the way. I'm here to be the mentor I wish I had when I was starting.
So, let's embark on this fitness adventure together and make it one filled with laughter, progress, and genuine support.
Are you ready? Let's go!
