About me

My name is Shane, and my journey with fitness didn’t start in a gym, it started with insecurity, excuses, and being deeply uncomfortable in my own skin.

Growing up, I was always the bigger kid. I blamed genetics for a long time, but the truth was simple: I ate poorly, barely moved, and spent most of my time indoors. The only “exercise” I got was walking between classes at school. Summers were spent playing video games for 8+ hours a day, living off junk food, and avoiding the outside world. At one point, after staying inside for so long, I genuinely felt like I forgot how to walk when I finally went outside for fresh air. That’s how disconnected I was from my body.

I didn’t realize how much damage I was doing to myself mentally and physically, until my teenage years.

From Overweight to Underweight and Everything in Between

My weight swung to every extreme. I went from chubby, to overweight, to nearly obese. Then I went the opposite direction from overweight, to chubby, to very skinny (and not in a healthy manner). By the time high school rolled around, the comments started. Family members, old friends, and just constant reminders that I was “fat” and needed to lose weight. Those words stuck to me and they created insecurities and body dysmorphia that I still battle today.

During the summer after grade 9, I was finally fed up. I cut out junk food, stopped gaming, and forced myself outside and started jogging daily. The weight came off and people noticed, but I was still unhappy. The following summer, I spiraled the other way. I barely ate, I didn’t train, my appetite disappeared. I lost too much weight and became unhealthy again. That’s when it hit me, extremes aren’t the answer but balance is.

Learning Balance the Hard Way

After grade 11, I finally began to approach fitness the right way. I focused on eating properly, training consistently, and building a sustainable lifestyle. For the first time in my life, I felt comfortable in my own skin. Eventually, I wanted more. I wanted to build strength, muscle and confidence, so I began bulking but the healthier way. That didn’t mean the journey was smooth. I’ve dealt with nearly tearing my left pec, severe back pain that left me barely able to move, surgery (not related to my back or chest) that forced me to stop training and eat minimal calories, months out of the gym, and losing progress I worked years for. I’ve hit rock bottom more than once. Starting over never gets easier, but I did it anyway.

I wouldn’t change any of it. Every setback forced me to grow and not just physically, but mentally.

Where I’m At Now

Today, I train 6 days a week and eat when my body tells me to which is usually every 3 hours. I eat clean, I train hard, and I’ll be honest - I still get frustrated when results don’t come as fast as I want. Genetics and lack of sleep play a role but I’ll forever trust the process. There is always room to improve whether it’s strength, size, discipline or mindset. My journey isn’t finished, It’s just getting started.

For perspective:

At 13 years old, I weighed 190 lbs with a 36-inch waist

At 24 years old, I weigh 190 lbs with a 32-inch waist

Same weight - Completely different body - Completely different mindset.

Why I Do This

I’m currently becoming a certified personal trainer and nutritionist through the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA). My mission is simple: help others take control of their lives the way I did. Too many people think they don’t have time, energy, or motivation. I’ve worked 80-hour weeks, slept 5 hours a night, avoided caffeine entirely, and still trained 5–6 days a week. If something matters enough, excuses stop existing. Fitness and nutrition saved me. They gave me structure, discipline, and self-respect. I don’t know who I’d be without them.

Myoresilience

Myoresilience isn’t just a brand, it’s a mindset.

It’s about rebuilding yourself no matter how many times you break down. It’s about showing up when motivation is gone. It’s about choosing long-term health over short-term comfort. This is a community for people who are tired of excuses and ready to take ownership of their bodies and lives. If my story resonates with you, I’d be honored to be part of your journey.
