Savage city training is a lot more than a cookie cutter training regimen that you may get from commercial gyms. The owner and personal trainer Shawn definitely takes the time and get a thorough analysis of you as a person and your current dieting habits when you first go and meet in person. He will arrange workouts based on your personal goals whether it’s competing an advance or improving your health. He definitely puts time and effort into all his clients always checking in on them every day (especially if you’re a remote client). I personally recommend first time lifters or even people who is new to the health and fitness world or even the lifting world to definitely seek savage city training as your first option. I know many people within the tri-state area who is willing to travel and train at Savage city. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When I came to Shawn at SCT, I had prior physical injuries, and a basic/novice level of strength. He not only helped me correct issues with my training, form, and overall structure of my program, but helped me increase my strength and physical fitness at the same time.
I am hands down, without question, a better athlete because of the time spent under his guidance. He is a great guy, wont sugar coat anything, and tells you exactly what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. You will not be dissapointed.

Training with Shawn at Savage City Strength has been a game-changer.
He’s not just a trainer — he’s a coach, mentor, and hype squad all in one. Shawn meets you where you’re at and builds a plan that’s actually tailored to your goals, whether you’re chasing your first pull-up or your next deadlift PR.
His attention to form, injury prevention, and progression is unmatched. He knows when to push, when to scale back, and how to keep you motivated on the hard days. Every session is purposeful, challenging, and leaves you feeling stronger — mentally and physically.
The gym itself is an incredible space with equipment you won’t find at your average commercial gym, but it’s Shawn’s coaching that really sets the experience apart. Plus, you're supporting a small business that’s rooted in community and driven by passion.
If you’re even thinking about personal training — train with Shawn. You won’t regret it.

Been training with Shawn for about 6 months. He’s a great teacher, has helped me fix a whole bunch of chronic back issues, get way stronger, and lose body fat. His gym is also unique and has equipment you won’t see anywhere else. Can’t recommend the coaching here enough.
