About Coach

Shane’s fitness journey began as most peoples do…..he looked in the mirror and did not like what was looking back at him. Shane set out to get a gym membership to help get back himself. Shane has always been very active in sports and recreational activities. He worked his butt off for a year and lost a good amount of weight but then he hit a plateau where no matter how much cardio or machine work he did, he just could not lose any more weight. Shane has always been very active in sports and recreational activities. He worked his butt off for a year and lost a good amount of weight but then he hit a plateau where no matter how much cardio or machine work he did, he just could not lose any more weight. So like most people, he tried a different gym…but got the same results…then another gym….same results, at one point in time he had 4 gym memberships! One day he heard about a competition that was going on and one of his friends was going to compete in it so he decided to go cheer him on. While there, he saw a couple of people competing from CrossFit Appleton. He decided to stop in and check out CFA for himself. He absolutely fell in love with the people and the atmosphere that was at CrossFit Appleton. He has made the best of friends while working out and it challenges him every day! He loves the variety that CrossFit workouts provide and truly appreciated that no matter who was coaching the class, they were always there to show you exactly how to do each of the movements during the workout. Ultimately in June 2017, Shane decided that he wanted to give back to the CrossFit community that helped him lose weight, build muscle and gain his self-confidence back so he went for his CF-L1, and that changed everything for the better! In March of 2021, he went and got his CF-L2 it turned out to be one of the best decisions he has ever made. Now he is helping the CrossFit community that gave him so much when he needed it most!
