SHANE KOKAS
HELPING YOU TACKLE GYM ANXIETY, CREATE CONSISTENCY + REACH YOUR GOALS
Wanna have personalized workouts, feel supported in your journey and safe to ask questions?
Do you want to be challenged, feel more confident and reach actually your goals?
​
Do you want the option of doing this with a partner?
Even a virtual option?
Good. You’re in the right space.
​
Hey, you may know me…
I’m Shane.
I have been working with folks with their health and wellness for a decade now. I spend so much time in the gym and I am totally, 100% confident in the fitness spaces.
​
Okay, you caught me. Not 100% confident. All the time.
Ya know, when you are describing how you’re uncomfortable in the gym—you feel a little out of sorts?
Like maybe people are judging you?
​
All the people and foreign equipment is actually kinda, overwhelming?
​
And you’re met with the inevitable, well-intended feedback:
“Don’t worry about it. No one is there to judge you. Everyone is there to work on themselves.”
How dismissed do you always feel? SO dismissed. Every time!

“I know I wouldn’t have achieved what I have accomplished in terms of fitness and health without Shane’s support.”
Donna McPherson
“I no longer have as much anxiety about getting back in to my gym routine. While I still struggle with the mind games, Shane has helped me realize that I am strong enough to overcome them!”
Himmat Grewal
I genuinely enjoy going to the gym now. Shane has helped me change by overcoming challenges that at times seemed impossible.”
I feel this. I have been told this many times before myself, and regrettably, regurgitated this to clients in my earlier years as an attempt to comfort them.
Today I am telling you, your feelings about working out are valid.
​
Your uncomfortable experiences in fitness spaces are valid.
I cannot recall an overly positive memory from gym class.
Unless I am considering the time I got a “leave of absence” for months following another stint in the hospital in Grade 9. (Side note: it was great because I literally sat on the side lines with my best friend while we texted on her new cell phone. That’s about it.)
After a decade working in fitness studios, and I can honestly tell you, when I walk into a new gym for the first time for my own workouts…. I get a little nervous. Want to know a secret?
Most fitness professionals I talk to also feel this way!
They too feel like they are being judged and a little out of sorts.
This is normal. You have normal feelings.
In my personal training sessions I make this completely clear… the gym can be a freaking scary place.
And if you are needing some extra support and guidance towards reaching your goals… that’s why I am here.
And if you want to have some fun and maybe laugh at my expense a couple times… I will accept that fee.
I do free consultations, where you can come see the space, meet me and also go through a little workout. This all gives you a better grounding of what a session will look and feel like before you make any investment.
From there I offer a variety of packages, ranging from $86-$103/session.
You can view them here.
If you have questions about working together, please reach out.
​
If you are like me and was picked last in gym class, I am open to receiving the messages of “you’re not alone Shane—me too!”
​
If you also want to talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Beyonce or Burgers… I am your guy.
