What Our Clients Say
Our Personal Trainers
Shaun Smears
Owner/Fitness TrainerMany know I am a personal trainer and owner of Raising the Bar Training and Performance… but what do I do & who do I help? The long and short of it is my specialty is making real world lifestyle changes to get you to the best physical, mental and emotional wellbeing you can. You see my industry is full of quick fixes, polarizing beliefs, marketing and supplements designed to grab your attention and make you think it is 14 days to a new you, or to pop a pill for success… I work to help busy men and women find balance with their lifestyle, schedule and goals. Develop a plan that is both effective and sustainable for them to reach their goals and maintain their new sought-after lifestyle. How do I do this?? I utilize a combination of nutrition, exercise, activity, supplements and stress relief to achieve the needed results. I work with my clients through constant communication, goal setting and choose the right methodology for them. This is key as we are not a one size fits all, what worked amazing for my last client may not fit your goals or lifestyle to get you there so we develop a plan for you!!
