About
I have been coaching in the Portland Metro area for over 7 years. While 75% of my past clients have been over 40 years old and most have had minor health issues, I have also coached two female powerlifters who set Oregon state records. The majority of my clients train at Loprinzi’s Gym in SE. I am, however, available for park and in-home sessions throughout the city and have privileges at private gyms in Tigard and Beaverton. Whether you are looking for an introduction to strength training or ready to regain an athletic lifestyle you once lead, hiring a professional coach will help you reach your goals faster and safer than doing it by yourself. Internet, DVD and magazine-based workouts are written to impress readers and appeal to a large population. They are unable to correct mistakes in technique or adapt training when life suddenly changes or injuries pop up. How could a fitness writer or DVD producer you've never met know what you are capable of or need to do to reach your goals? How can these people know what is happening in your life? Individualized fitness programs are designed specifically for you. The program we design together factors in your current level of physical fitness, your exercise experience, and your short- and long-term goals. Weight loss, increased strength or body mass, better sport performance, and improved overall health are all achievable through hard work and proper program design. A good coach also knows that life stress can affect your training and is able to adjust your daily workout to be the most effective it can be. The initial consultation is free.

I started working out with Shane about three months ago, shortly after I moved to Portland. I came to Portland knowing that I wanted to get in shape and he has definitely helped me with that. I got a personal trainer to help me build muscle and I also wanted to put on some weight. I train with Shane twice a week and definitely see a big difference from where I was when I started and where I am now. I am so much stronger than I was and have a lot more endurance than I did when I started. I don't walk as well as others and he has really helped with basic things such as my balance, posture, and flexibility. The workouts are tailored to how I am feeling that day. He challenges me to push myself harder than I think I can, but he is normally right. I am generally surprised with how strong I have gotten because I am still skinny but have muscles now. Shane's personality really works for the type of personal trainer that I was looking for as well. I came into this thinking that all personal trainers were like wannabe drill sergeants but Shane is really personable. He still gets down to business and corrects me if I am doing something the wrong way, but even if the workout is really tough that day, I still walk away from it feeling really good. I feel like doing personal training was a great decision and feel lucky that this has worked out so well. I am going to be putting in a third day on my own during the week but definitely want to continue doing this as long as possible because it has been one of the best things that I have ever done for myself.

Shane was exactly what I was looking for. He was easily able to accommodate my fitness needs as well as attend to my personal strengths. After looking at several different trainers Shane was by FAR the most affordable, and frankly, he was the easiest to communicate with. He was very flexible with scheduling and location, as well as very open and up front about his ideals. He's clearly educated and knows what he is talking about. Not only did I work out, I learned about why certain work outs are beneficial. After just a month I'm taking away so much new knowledge as well as physical strength. And on a side note, the dude is awesome and fun to hang out with. A++ You wont be disappointed if you use Shane Chokey. He will work with you to help meet your unique goals. He has the skill and knowledge to benefit a wide range of fitness needs.

Bottom line, the man will help you get results. As a personal trainer Shane is excellent at listening to YOUR fitness objectives and tailoring your workout regimen to meet those goals (I had another friend working with Shane at the same time who had different objectives and as a result was doing different workouts). He will also make sure you are actually enjoying the workouts you are doing and tweak things as necessary. After working with Shane I was leaner and stronger and on a good path to continue that progress on my own.

Shane was an amazing coach and I definitely recommend him to anyone that is wanting to gain strength or lift weights. I met Shane and told him I wanted to reach the 500 club. I'm a little petite: 4'11" at 115lbs so this was a big deal for me! We trained for 16 weeks and I really commend him for helping me surpass my goal - with good technique. One thing that I felt put Shane apart from other trainers was that we only met once a week but he gave out workout plans that I would do for the rest of the week. He even checked up on me on those days as well to see how I was feeling/the workout went. Shane was also very flexible with our meetings, which worked well for me because I didn't have a set schedule for work. I majored in Exercise and Sports Science so it felt good to work with a trainer/coach that understood what he was talking about and didn't give me a bunch of BS workouts that didn't help me improve in my strength. He has a very well educated background in the strength and conditioning field and I felt his enthusiasm for me to succeed as well.

Shane is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He'll design workouts to meet your conditioning goals, but I'd say his specialty is strength training - functional, real world strength. Our workouts incorporated med balls, battle ropes, kettle bells - all the good stuff.

FAQs

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Make sure the coach you choose tailors your program to your specific needs and goals. Safety and proper technique should be the first priority if you are a beginner.
