    Shane was born and raised in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, and was interested in physical fitness from an early age. He had always wanted to play sports, but was unable to compete in anything other than recreational games until high school. Instead, he became interested with how to best prepare his body to play sports when that time came in. He became very appreciative of how exercise can have such a positive effect of not only longterm physical wellness but also psychological help. He loves and respects fitness because it is one of the few things in life that we can control ourselves. Being able to work with an individual in a client-trainer relationship is an extremely rewarding experience. To guide someone who has taken the responsibility to actively improve their own health through exercise, though it may seem to them a daunting task, is a great privilege.

    in my free time I like to
    hike, ski, canoe, and engage in any other activity that involves sweat and friends. I am interested in studying history at a very amateur level (feel free to ask me for any fun history facts during a mid-training session break) and spending time picking up hair in my apartment left by my dog, Kennedy.

  • Keith, Lead Trainer; Providence Professional Personal Trainer

    Years of Experience

    • 13 Years

    Credentials

    • AS. Physical Therapist Assistant - NE Institute of Technology
    • Corrective Exercise Specialist - National Academy of Sports Medicine
    • Performance Enhancement Specialist - National Academy of Sports Medicine
    • Golf Fitness Specialist - National Academy of Sports Medicine

    Keith got into training mostly in response to recovering from a knee injury that he sustained from following poor fitness advice and programing. He took it upon myself to learn as much as he could about not only the foundational strength and conditioning work but also about how the body's stabilizers work in conjunction. Then, he started putting that knowledge into practice. The reason he loves fitness& training is because it is so practical. Anything you want to do in life from walking around the park, to playing a round golf or a pick-up game of basketball with your friends, to a firefighter carrying a person out of a building can all translate back to fitness training. To Keith, the difference between training and working out is training is exercise done with a purpose.

    in my free time I like to
    train (myself), I am always working on staying as strong as possible, athletic, and agile. I also do a good deal of self study. keeping up with new protocols, or a new exercise. evaluate them see how to apply them and when applicable. I also like to hang out with my family, play golf, cook and read.

    • B.S. in Exercise Science - Simmons University

    Molly is from Cranston, RI and fitness has been a part of her life since she was just a little girl! She played basketball year round since she was 6 years old. She would play year round starting with AAU, then the school season, and back to AAU again. After graduating high school she played two years of college basketball at Rhode Island College and finished her last two years at Simmons University. College basketball was a whole different level of basketball than she was used to and that’s when she fell in love with the strength and conditioning aspect. Being in the weight room with her teammates helped them to be closer through encouraging each other to get that next lift. She helped her teammates reach their fitness goals so it was natural to help other people reach their goals after she graduated.

    in my free time I like to
    go on long hikes-the more challenging the better! I also spend a lot of my time with my family. As a family we have weekly dinners, we watch football together, or we just hang out!
