COACH- LINDSEY ALLEN

Shaylon McGlothlin - Coach

Hi, my name is Shaylon McGlothlin! I am a certified personal trainer and current student at the University of Texas at Austin.

I played softball for most of my life until shoulder and knee injuries caused me to give it up to pursue avenues of healing on my own. Because of that experience, I love working with softball/baseball players and other athletes on injury prevention. With my athletes, I focus on power output, stability, and force absorption to put behind and enhance their technique and skills. I am also training to compete in NPC shows, so lean muscle building and fat loss are strong suits of mine as well as I have spent much of my own time and energy into researching and studying the best methods. I believe in highly individualized approaches to ensure the programs I make for my clients work into their lifestyle while still making the necessary changes to achieve their goals.
