BKC - Strength & Conditioning

The atmosphere at BKC is super friendly and supportive. Shawn is an incredible coach. He has created a dynamic strength and conditioning program that keeps me motivated and eager to train. Overall, this is the best results and gym experience I have ever had. Energizing. Challenging. Fun.

Shawn is an awesome trainer. His knowledge and skill are unsurpassed in the fitness industry. I specifically have trained with Shawn for mainly Kettlebell Technique - but he is indeed a full spectrum strength coach with a ton of skills and experience . Shawn has so much to offer to all his clients. Always look forward to training with Shawn. Thanks for all the help.

This isn't your regular gym! Shawn has a way to make you feel very welcome and on track to your fitness goals! He delivers workouts and feedback in an effective way and is very knowledgeable about several aspects of fitness. I also enjoy lifting the unique equipment such as kegs, stones and sleds. I also have learned from his book that he gave me copy of! I would recommend this gym to anybody looking to get in shape or stay in shape!

Shawn is an excellent coach. The classes are varied daily and weekly to keep them interesting, and are designed so each member focuses on improving their performance while enjoying the motivation and support of the others. A very fun and positive atmosphere!

Shawn is an awesome coach that makes you work hard and keeps you safe. He's got loads of knowledge and mixes things up to keep it fun. You get to use equipment that other gyms don't have which is pretty bad ass. I always feel great after a training session.

It's hard to find motivation to workout early in the morning, but Shawn's sunrise kettlebell class at the Ann Green Bliss Studio makes it all worthwhile. Shawn does a great job at demonstrating the moves, and always provides positive feedback and encouragement. There is also a good variety of exercises to challenge the body and mind. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming. Watching the sunrise over the lake during class provides an extra mood boost! Overall, it's a great workout in an inspiring setting.

I LOVE THIS GYM!! Barrie Kettlebell Club is an amazing facility, very clean, with great equipment. The 24 hour access is so convenient. All the members are very nice and respectful and the gym has a real community feeling! The best thing about the gym though, is the coaches! Shawn, the owner, and Chris are amazing guys who are always willing to give some help and support through your training journey. They are very interested in your progress and care about your goals. For myself as a newly certified kettlebell/strength coach, Shawn and and this gym have given me lots of opportunities to practice my own skills and my coaching techniques. I LOVE THIS GYM!

Shawn is a fantastic coach who fosters a great welcoming atmosphere; his classes are challenging but fun, and he really focuses on form to make sure all movements are done correctly and with intention. I was a complete beginner to kettlebell and weightlifting when I first starting working with him - now I'm in the best shape I've ever been and I'm so grateful for his class and instruction!

It's hard to write a review that can accurately encompass all that the Barrie Kettlebell Club and Coach Shawn provide for their clients. The atmosphere is great - a clean no nonsense gym with all the equipment you need to have fun, ever evolving workouts. As for Coach Shawn, to put it short, he is phenomenal. He has so much knowledge to share, is constantly varying his group routines to ensure that clients are always kept on their toes and enjoying workouts, but never compromising on safety. You'll work your butt off - but at your own pace and doing the movements that are right for your body at that time. He will even take the time in group training to modify exercises for clients who are injured or who are not able to participate in certain movements so they are still able to attend the gym and get a great workout in. As a 1-on-1 coach he provides unparalleled support and insight into why certain exercises or sequences are beneficial to your goals, aiding you in becoming an active participant in your own health/goals. There is no cookie cutter, one size fits all approach with Coach Shawn, whether you are working with him in group training or one on one you can rest assured that he has put sincere thought and effort into creating a plan that is 100% tailored to you and your goals.Amazing gym, in my opinion best value in Barrie by far. Thanks Shawn for providing a great place to workout and learn from the best!!
