About
Hello my name is Shawn Bethea. I am a personal trainer and founder of Gladiator Strong Fitness. During my ten years career as a personal trainer, I pride myself on being a movement specialist. I provide functional exercise routines for clients to help them achieve their desired results. I have worked with clients diagnosed with bulging disks in their back and neck as well as clients who had double knee replacements who desired getting back to extreme sports like snowboarding. I have a 4,723 sq ft gym located one block away from NOMA metro station in Washington, DC. Where clients meet with me two to three times per week and workout in the morning, mid day or evening. I also travel to client's office spaces or bring my equipment to their living room for a workout session. I work with clients on a monthly agreement which can be renewed monthly as long as my services are needed. Often it is seem's that people tend to lose interest in the fitness program when working out on their own. So here is the opportunity to take advantage of our world class group instruction classes as well. Even better, they're packed with motivated, not-afraid-to-sweat people who'll inspire and push you closer to your goals with healthy competition. The first step to becoming Gladiator Strong is to schedule an assessment. During this assessment we will test your upper body, lower body, and core strength in addition to discussing your goals in more depth. I look forward to meeting you and designing a plan that can help you achieve your desired results. Have a great day!

My experience has excellent. The programming is challenging, intentional, and constantly pushes me to improve both physically and mentally. The environment fosters discipline, accountability, and growth, and the coaching—especially your guidance—has played a major role in keeping me focused and committed. I appreciate the structure, the intensity, and the results that come from showing up consistently. Gladiator Strong Fitness & Lifestyle has helped me level up not just in fitness, but in mindset and lifestyle as well.

Shawn is great!!! He arrived early, was very, very professional. He had the latest equipment and started off with weight, BMI, body fat, measurements, etc. Having trained for years in Miami, I always had excellent trainers and since living here this hasn't been the case, that is until I met Shawn. Looking forward to working with him. Recommend him highly.

Shawn has been a great trainer for my colleague and I. He's got a positive outlook and keeps us motivated. We've been training with him for about 15 weeks (once a week) and I definitely feel stronger. His sessions are always different, which is great and keeps us moving and trying new things. And he listens when we say something is good or doesn't feel right. 100% recommend!

A great personal trainer: he customized our sessions to exactly what I needed (very much a beginner, so we had simple goals like 10 push ups, etc) and we've been working our way up since. He's also super flexible with your schedule. My schedule was nuts for the 10 months I've worked with him, but he was always willing to move things around to accommodate -- and since he was willing to come to me and work out in my building's gym, I never had an excuse to not get my blood pumping! Every session was different so I never got bored, but they were all intense work outs. Shawn is not the type of trainer that gets down on the floor and yells at you to keep going, but he encourages you when you need it. He stands back and lets you concentrate on doing your thing, usually only piping up to correct form. Between sets, he's very nice and pleasant to talk to. I'm definitely in the best shape of my life thanks to Shawn! I especially recommend him to anyone who feels a little lost in the gym -- he's definitely increased my comfort level and knowledge about working out.
