Shane's Journey

Shane's journey into the world of fitness and personal training is a story of passion, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to helping others achieve the best version of themself. Born with an innate love for athletics, Shane spent his early years exploring various sports and physical activities. As he entered his teenage years, his interest in weightlifting grew, leading his supportive parents to hire a personal trainer to ensure he learned the fundamentals correctly.

The Birth of MATRIX

As Shane pursued his fitness journey through college at Lehigh University and into his early twenties, he faced an unexpected turn during the 2008 economic downturn. Laid off from his position as a Mechanical Engineer, he seized the opportunity to pivot. Leveraging a severance package, Shane returned to academia, earning a master's degree in biomechanics from 2009 to 2012. This period also marked the start of his personal training career at Bally's and the YMCA in 2009 and his certification as a BODYPUMP instructor with Les Mills.

Yoga soon became a vital part of Shane's routine, aiding his recovery from sciatica. His dedication led to a 500-hour certification in Prana Vinyasa Flow by 2014, amassing over 1000 hours of teaching experience. Over the years, he expanded his expertise with additional Les Mills certifications, including BODYBALANCE, BODYCOMBAT, and Les Mills CORE.

In 2010, Shane joined USARIEM as a biomechanics research assistant, contributing to significant studies like the development of OPAT standards for military occupational specialties. This role, combined with his discovery of Z-health Performance in 2014, enriched his specialized knowledge in brain-based training.
