I read an article from a Special Pandemic Issue 2020 by AARP which was titled “WHO GETS SICK AND WHY”. That article stated that “Exercise may be the most important lifestyle intervention you can add” to fight this pandemic. I could relate to that article because the coronavirus like cancer requires a strong immune system to overcome it. I know because I am a breast cancer survivor and I was able to beat cancer through diet, nutrition, exercise, stress management, the restoration of my immune system, and faith in God and His Word. This article gave me hope that I could fight this virus and win just like I did cancer back in 2016. Since I had to go into quarantine due to COVID-19 and my gym was closed my exercise options were extremely limited to walking and/or running and doing some random exercises that I found on YouTube but I was struggling to do them as often as I should. I knew though that I needed an outlet to manage my stress and to keep my immune system activated through regular workouts but my choices were very limited. Then along came Shawn’s invitation to join his Virtual Exercise Classes. Having known Shawn for over 8 years and his “standards of excellence” in everything that he does I was delighted to join. His positive outlook, words of encouragement, and excellent workout routines and instruction… I looked forward to each and every session. It was the best thing that I could have done during these challenging times that we are living in. So if you are feeling the stress of what is going on in the world today then do what I did….fight back! I could not recommend Shawn’s Virtual Exercise Classes any higher. You will be glad that you did…I was! I hope to see you at the next class.  -Jackie

So happy to have joined this class. Flexibility and balance improving.

Shawn’s classes are great. They got me on a regular routine of stretching. My knees feel much better withless aches and pains. I’m waiting for the next sessions to start!!

For the last 2 years I have had lower back and hip pain. I just thought it was something I had to live with. Doing the core exercises in Shawn’s classes have strengthened my core to the point I don’t wake up during the night with back discomfort and I can get out of bed in the morning and not think about my back. Thanks for the push to do more for myself.

Wow, Yea, I now know why this virtual exercise program is called WOW, yea I know that it stands for Windows of Wellness (WOW). But, based upon my results after 10 sessions, I still say WOW!

Before, I started the WOW exercise classes I was suffering from always having a stiff neck, cramping in my feet and sleepless nights. Well, I am sure that being a caregiver for my 84 year old mother for over 4 years was a major contributor to my condition which was probably induced by stress and little movement. Yea, I joined a local gym that was a 20 min drive each way, but I couldn’t find the time to get to the gym as often as I needed, because I was always worrying about mom being alone for the 2.5 hours whichincluded travel time and workout time. So I was paying for a gym membership that I couldn’t use.

Then I found Shawn and Windows of Wellness Virtual exercise class, after 3 sessions I began to see the changes; less cramping in my feet, I could begin to turn my neck to align with my shoulders (yea, both sides), and the greatest change was I started sleeping at night, it just seemed that I had more energy and needless to say my patience got better.

So now I can improve my health right from the comfort of home, yea right here in the family room. I didn’t need to buy any special equipment, I had a yoga mat, and of course we have a folding chair, a hand towel and you better come some positive attitude, but don’t worry if you are little down Shawn gets your spirit lifted quickly.

I am always impressed with how Shawn explains the benefit of each exercise and that really helps you push through because you get the results and after you trust him after the first few times, there is no questioning why you are doing a particular exercise—the results speak loudly.

Oh yea, did I mention when I went to the gym I had a personal trainer, but now with Shawn I have a personal trainer right from my family room at home in the virtual exercise group.

Shawn and his group exercise class have given me the motivation to improve and stimulate my want to continue on a health journey. These virtual classes have provided me the opportunity to be active and focus on troubled areas- that I probably otherwise would not have. The opportunities for improvement were numerous making it easy to incorporate time for the classes. All in all, I really appreciate the positive impact that Shawn and these classes have had for me physically and mentally.  -Molly

This is an awesome class! The workouts seem so easy but as a 25 year old, I still struggle with them!  Great to get up and get the blood flowing! Would definitely recommend!
