Whether you look to me for support on your fitness journey with Team Beachbody or seek guidance in how to establish your own coaching practice, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve always had an intense passion for impacting the lives and well being of others. Being your personal coach allows me the opportunity to do Hello and Welcome! My name is Tim Shields and I am honored to be your coach! Whether you look to me for support on your fitness journey with Team Beachbody or seek guidance in how to establish your own coaching practice, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve always had an intense passion for impacting the lives and well being of others. Being your personal coach allows me the opportunity to do just that! As a training coach, I have successfully impacted the health, fitness levels, and overall wellness of hundreds of people by helping them achieve THEIR goals. I have personally witnessed many incredible bodily- transformations through the use of Beachbody programs, which reinforced my decision to become a Coach and continued client. My job is to help you identify your fitness goals, prescribe a suitable program that aligns with those goals, and then provide you with the education and support necessary to ensure results. For some of my clients this is enough and exactly where they want to be. From firsthand experience however, others will realize their desired results and transformation and as a result will choose to take their fitness achievements and experience to the next level by becoming a Beachbody Coach. Either scenario is great! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you and look forward to getting to know you on your journey to your “ideal” you. A little bit about my fitness coaching and training experience: My formal education is in Kinesiolgy with an emphasis in fitness, exercise, and personal training. I interned at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO and Texas Instruments' world-class corporate wellness center in Dallas, Texas where I spent my time designing and implementing personalized exercise, fitness and wellness plans for a diverse population of athletes and non-athletes. "I enjoy teaching people the benefits of fitness, exercise, and wellness through personal training programs and proven methodologies. More importantly, I enjoy educating people on the principals of how to exercise correctly in order to achieve desired results. Why Beachbody? Over the years, I’ve been asked repeatedly by family and friends; “What’s the best way to get in shape, become fit, lose fat body fat and how do I keep it off?” Well, I mentioned previously that my passion is to impact the lives of others through proven methodologies. As Coaches, the programs we have at our disposal are just that….proven! Too often, I see people joining a gym with high expectations, only to realize after a few short months of "trial and error" type methodology and minimal results that they don't have the right skill set (knowledge or education) necessary to achieve their fullest potential, lending to frustration, discouragement, injury, and even just giving up! In short, after paying months and months of costly fees associated with a gym membership, a year comes and goes… and the "before" / "after" photos are nearly identical.... "After moving to San Diego and returning to the field of fitness and exercise, I took a job with a well known national fitness firm as a fitness director in order to regain exposure to the industry. During this time I was responsible for extensive one-on-one consulting and education in the areas of fat metabolism, strength training, and cardiovascular endurance and the administration of fitness assessments for all members. After the hour long process, I took each client through a personalized workout in order to facilitate new personal training clients for my staff of personal trainers. The cost of a personal training package was around $3,000.00 for a number of 30 minute sessions with a personal trainer that, in some cases, had relatively little experience and even less formal education with sound or proven methodology? In Short, what I found is that people join gyms and clubs to achieve results, often times spending an incredible amount of money just to have the privilege of weights, machines, and equipment. Some people have the capability to pay for personal training sessions and may be lucky enough to be aligned with a trainer who will ensure those results. On the other hand, many people who join a gym are barely able to meet their monthly membership obligations, much less, to be in a position to pay exorbitant prices for personal training services subjecting them to a frustrating "trial by error" approach to achieving their goals and desired results. That's why I'm so excited to be a part of Team Beach Body. The programs are cost effective, based upon proven methodology, and presented with an abundance of support tools to keep people motivated and on track. “What doesn’t get done Today, doesn’t get done!” Here is my story: Tim comes to us from Denver, Colorado where he has spent nearly 10 years leading and building start-up sales operations while establishing the footprint for a prominent national sales firm. After nearly a decade of achievement in sales and building the next generation of company leaders, I went to work one day and found myself asking (myself), “Is this all there is?” About a year ago, in a moment of clarity, I gave up my career; walked away from my comfort zone and moved to San Diego to be closer to my son (you only get that chance once!). Now, I find myself pursuing my passion and embarking on a career involving the ability to impact the lives of others, hopefully helping them find the courage to follow their passions too. I am passionate about leading a meaningful life,....even if that means living outside of what's familiar or comfortable in order to attain it.” “Taking RISKS is part of Life….Step into It!” My Progress My fitness goal: Tone Up Transformation story

Throughout my entire life I've consistently worked out in one form or another in order to stay in shape and to give myself that certain mental competitive edge that seemingly goes along with the endorphin rush that occurs as a result of exercise. In early September 2008 at the age of 39 I visited my doctor for yet another yearly physical expecting, as in prior years, that he would once again give me his thumbs-up stamp of approval and declaring me his poster boy for health and fitness. Well, in short, this was not to be. At the conclusion of our time together, my physician explained to me that while my blood pressure was excellent, my cholesterol levels had risen dramatically from the prior year and that my weight had rocketed from 173 lbs to a beefy 201 lbs over the same 12 month period. Furthermore, he was concerned about joint stiffness and flexibility issues I was having in my shoulders and knees. The concern on his face was obvious as he asked me a number of questions in order to determine the basis for such drastic changes. I explained to him that I was still working out nearly every day in some capacity. He asked me about work and any lifestyle changes that might explain such results, to which I admitted had changed substantially for the worse over the course of the year. He then asked me about my workouts and began to discuss with me the value of quality vs. quantity. Now this was a bit embarrassing to me as my college education was in exercise physiology. In short we agreed that I needed to change my lifestyle to include eating habits and consuming less alcohol. He also told me that I was overdoing it as far as my workouts were concerned and proceeded to re-educate me on the importance of rest. Stating that rest and proper diet is as crucial of an element to fitness than the actual working out part. He also felt that my body had adapted to the work-out regimen I was continually repeating not to mention overdoing which was causing inflammation with tendons and ligaments. That day I left his office feeling every bit my 39 years and then some, not to mention a little embarrassment for not having the presence to see what I was doing to myself. That day I decided to make a few adjustments to both my lifestyle and work out practice. On September 4th, I gave up alcohol completely and made a commitment to myself to get in the best shape of my life. Furthermore, I decided that it was time to re-invent my workouts and diet habits. I was no longer in my 20's and the desire to train for size was no longer important to me. I started reading everything I could get my hands on concerning cross training and began inventing my own workouts to consist of exercises more commonly found in military circles. I started using decks of playing cards to help me create unique workouts and define the number of sets / repetitions for my newly created exercise programs and a stop watch to integrate timed intervals in order to create either a fat burning or cardiovascular component to each particular workout. In the first weeks, the workouts were difficult. I started by doing one set to complete exhaustion for all body parts 2x per week with at least 2 days of rest in between. During those initial weeks I could barely complete 15 repetitions of any exercise. As the weeks went by I started to see considerable improvement in the number of reps. I could perform on a given exercise. As my endurance increased, my work outs were beginning to take more time so I started to decrease the number of body parts I worked during each session spreading them out over multiple days. On my days off I would swim, spin, or do yoga in order to enhance my cross training experience and give my muscle fibers the chance to rest and rebuild themselves. As the weeks passed, my strength and endurance increased dramatically to the point where I was seeing noticeable changes. My clothes were becoming increasingly too large. After 2 months my waist size went from 36" to 34" and the definition in my abdomen, legs, and butt became more pronounced. Jumping forward now....it's been 11 months since I began this campaign and as I write this my weight is now down around 170 lbs and my waist size is 32". Although most of my wardrobe has had to be replaced, it's been a small price to pay for the incredible energy and overall well being I feel now. As a result of my training these last months I've decided to enter my first triathlon in early October of this year! I'll keep you posted on the results of my next yearly check up! My advice to you is simply this...Step into IT and remember that what doesn't get done today, doesn't get done! Good luck and please let me know if I can assist you in any way.
