SHAWN PHILLIPS’
Full Strength LIFE Discovering Your Path to a Lifestyle of Abundant Health, Energy, Vitality
-1-
Welcome to my Full Strength Life navigation process. A Colorado native, I’ve been an author, teacher, guide and entrepreneur in the fitness, nutrition and Life Performance field for over twenty years now—and it is my great honor to have this opportunity to be of service to you.
I look forward to sharing an enjoyable time filled with value and perhaps even a life-altering gem of wisdom or two.
In preparation for our session together I’d like to establish a few expectations.
The questions that follow are not a test but a brief profiler that will help you and I get on the same page. When I know where you are, I can know what will best serve you.
When we are together the information from your profile document will construct a future based vision and personal success contract, automatically. Thus, completing this profile form is a rather vital step. Please invest a few minutes in completing it.

The time we spend together is our time together. It is neither my wish nor my style to assume some sort of “fitness coach” role. I enter into this session with no premeditated agenda ready to “unload” on you—tell you how it is, shame you into motivation or tell you how easy all this crap is. That style rarely helps children get it, let alone full grown adults. Plus, it’s just not the way I work.
The way I see it, there are far fewer rights or wrongs in fitness than most want you to believe. And the greatest wrong is found in its absence. There are mistakes made in goal setting, techniques, managing motivation and eating patterns that don’t fit and don’t serve the individual—which in this case is you.
You see, the real magic in lifetime fitness is not finding the right path but getting and staying on a path. It’s not so much the getting from A to B but moving beyond C, D, E… to a Lifestyle that is effortlessly sustainable.
My desire is that people stop “doing fitness” and start “being fit.” For when fit is who you are being, the effort, the struggle vanishes.
I look forward to uncovering what makes you tick, how to tap into the keys for your lifetime and help you craft a path to your ideal fitness lifestyle—a sustainable habit of fitness and renewal that will have you in enjoying vibrant energy, health and wellness all year round.

About The Profile Questions That Follow To ensure our time together is of maximum value, I’ve assembled a relatively brief series of questions that I’d like you to reflect on and answer. The first two leading questions are sort of the “big stuff” that can help me to find a best approach to serve. The others are part of a master fitness profiling process which I’ve used for years to help myself and others find their unique “Fitness DNA.”
Also, please know that it’s not a deal-breaker if you opt not to answer one or every single one of these questions. If you’re not comfortable for whatever reason, please leave it blank.
When answering these questions it’s best to tune into whatever first arises. Be thoughtful—and allow your answers to flow. I find we often know more than we’re willing to accept, especially when we try too hard.
Once again, I look forward to our time together in a few short weeks.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me at the email below.
