Group Fitness Instructor, Core Training, Strength Conditioning, TRX
Hello everyone , my name is Sean Greene. I've been in the fitness field for over 15 years as a Fitness Trainer and Instructor. I got into this profession because I'm passionate about helping others find happiness in life and feel great about themselves. That involves helping others see and experience what their bodies are capable of with just enough hard work.
Getting into fitness for me was a life changing experience. It helped me mentally and physically. I became strong , flexible, energetic and the best of all...healthy! I didn't want to be selfish and experience this just for myself but also for others around me. I have a heart for people who really want to get in shape but don't have the motivation or are clueless on what to do. That being said, I decided to put on my cape to save people who are lost in the dark when it comes to fitness.
Through my years I've experienced the changes I made in people's lives and boy it's one of the best feelings ever. I even inspired others to become instructors just by attending my classes because of my positive and exciting energy. Seeing I have that type of impact makes me love what I do even more and realize my purpose here is to change lives for the better.
