Shawn Phillips Training - Los Angeles, California

Maximilian McCallister

No trainer or exercise program I've ever done has helped like Shawn has. It's been a complete mental and physical health game changer. My chance of relapsing into bad diet habits, mental health struggles, etc. feels like it has gone to near zero. Shawn just knows what to do for your needs in particular — on a given day, in a given year, for any given program or goal.

He just knows, senses, and addresses what I need. If you want to truly change your habits and reach a goal — mental, physical, whatever — Shawn should be a part of it.

My energy is better, I'm down 30 pounds, nutrition is great, we're on a supplement program (never successfully stuck to one before), staying on top of my blood work and improving those results, I'm breathing better, and my sleep is much improved. And I look forward to the sessions since they boost the mood.

It's a holistic approach and gives you a solid toolkit for your goals. Shawn figures out the root cause, so you can really turn a health challenge around, and get the most out of life. Truly awesome stuff

I would highly recommend Shawn's program to anyone. I was struggling after having a baby, I couldn't lose the baby weight, felt super anxious and tired- I didn't feel like myself and really wanted to prioritize my health not only for myself but for my new baby. Before I started working with Shawn I was killing myself in the gym and wasn't seeing any results- felt burnt out and frustrated, constantly tired and anxious.

I called Shawn and currently have been working with him for about 2 months. I am blown away on the results I have seen thus far and most importantly, how I feel. His program is nothing like I've ever done before. His holistic approach touches all critical points to make you feel your best and is custom to your needs.

In just 2 months I have lost 13 pounds, 3.5" inches around my stomach, have a much better understanding of a holistic approach to health. I sleep better and really have gotten my anxiety in a much better place.

I am so thankful for this program and the positive difference it has made in my life!

I have had several personal trainers throughout my life and my experience with Shawn has, by far, been the best out of all of them. This is because Shawn's approach is far more holistic than simply doing weights and gym training. For life-changing results, there are other, more important factors, like sleep and meditation that need to be explored. Shawn does this unlike other trainers and this is why I have seen better results than with those other trainers. For example, I was able to see my body start taking shape for the first time in my life and lift weights I was previously unable to lift. I also appreciate the fact that Shawn listens and responds well to questions, I am never afraid to ask him questions and this is one of my favorite things about him. Overall, he is not only an extremely educated and curious individual that knows what he is doing but he is also an overall great human being to learn from.

I started working with Shawn two years ago, not knowing much about fitness and just wanting to "look better."

After learning about my fitness goals, Shawn was able to customize a program for me.

Shawn is unlike any other personal trainer--because he looks beyond your appearance and also considers your overall health and holistic well-being.

For instance, I work 80 hours a week in a high-stress environment, and my sleep quality was awful. Shawn realized that and introduced me to meditation techniques, which have tremendously improved my sleep quality and overall energy.

Over the course of two years, Shawn helped me gain 10 lbs of muscles while maintaining my waist measurements. (It blows my mind.)

That's why I would gladly recommend Shawn to anyone interested in looking (and feeling) better.

This is a follow up to my previous review regarding Shawn Philips who is a personal trainer/nutritionist in Santa Monica. I see Shawn multiple times a week and my body and mind have continued to improve on an upward trajectory. In the last year my life has changed drastically for the better. Shawn helped to heal my mind and body well enough that I have been able to start dating, traveling, spending more time with friends and family after years of isolating behavior. I finally am starting to enjoy a normal life thanks to Shawn's mind and body training. I feel more comfortable about my body at the beach and elsewhere. My entire body has been changing for the better. In addition, my mind has improved as well. Thanks to Shawn, I am not reacting negatively to stress and have removed many unhealthy behaviors from my life. With Shawn focusing on Sleep, Diet, Confidence, Exercise, Supplementation, and Positive Response Training, I have been able to achieve a large amount of my goals. The best part is that I am not finished yet and continue to strive to improve. I highly and with a whole heart recommend Shawn's services if you are looking for an extremely unique and empathetic personal trainer in Santa Monica.

I have been working with Shawn for close to two years and I would highly recommend Shawn to anyone who not only wants to work on their physique, but wants to look at the root causes of why such a goal has not been achieved. Shawn is highly intelligent, well versed in nutrition and supplements, and most importantly empathetic. Shawn understands the challenges we all face in our quest to improve our minds and bodies. Shawn is not your typical trainer. A session with Shawn is not going to consist of lift this and lift that and nothing else. Shawn looks at your life circumstances, your nutrition, your genetics, your obstacles, and many more things. In my case, I have suffered from mental illness for the majority of my life. Shawn started to look at the biological root causes of my symptoms through review of my diet and calorie intake, several in depth tests, and referrals to additional professionals who could help me on my journey to a better body and mind. Shawn has graciously made himself available to me on off hours in order to provide additional support to me. I have made great progress with Shawn and honestly have never encountered a trainer quite like him. I am extremely grateful that I came across him and would highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking a full body and mind strengthening.

I'm sending a big thank you to Shawn, my personal trainer for the all directions and good advice he gave me during my sessions. I'm currently focused on sleep and fasting program, nutrition plans and getting personal training, and I have to confess that I have dropped over 15Ib in less than a month with a good health.

My overall experience with the training program was just amazing. Priceless.

I'm still on the plan to achieve my goal from size 44 to 28 and I have dropped now to size 34 in just 1st month.
The changes I've noticed in my appearance in my face, skin and losing extra pounds are unbelievable. I definitely suggest you guys to get appointment.

I barely could breath and walk and now I feel a great sleep and wake up with full energy every morning. My happy life is back. Thank you Shawn.

I had pain 24/7 in my knees and ankles and now I can walk with no pain.

Shawn has a holistic approach which includes nutrition, exercise, lab testing and holistic life coaching that helped me to get back to a comfortable life and work. My knees got the flexibility back and my breathing issues that was almost off, got back to normal.

Shawn's overall teaching style is life-saving and body-shaping. You will love yourself every second again.
Shawn, I can't thank you enough for all your patient with me.

Shawn is more than just a personal trainer/nutritionist... he is a lifesaver. I found Shawn when I was looking for a nutritionist near me that could handle the complexity of my stomach issues. I was 31 years old, 113lbs @ 5'10" and nearly dead. I wasn't able to eat food, I wasn't sleeping and I was so weak that I could barely walk. I had seen many Doctors, been in and out of the hospital and received nothing but drugs I didn't want to be on. In a very short period of time Shawn had me off the drugs, eating food, sleeping well, and strong enough to start taking care of myself again. After 3 months Shawn had me up to 140lbs and confidently lifting weights.

During my training with Shawn, he displayed a vast depth of knowledge that assisted me in all areas of my life - mental, emotional and physical. His positive attitude and ability to calm my fears got me through some really dark times.

Quite simply, Shawn saved my life... and for this I am infinitely grateful.

I can’t say enough about Shawn! He is truly the best and most knowledgeable trainer and holistic professional I’ve ever worked with. He not only knows about fitness and training, but also amazing at nutrition and health issues. Because he truly cares and wants clients to see results, he spends a lot of time on the assessment phase. Shawn took the time to assess everything I was going through (even with my emotional and mental health!) and put together a comprehensive personalized program to get me on track with the fastest, healthiest route to long-term results. I am sad I don’t live in LA so I can work with him for a lifetime. His clients are all lucky to work with him!
