Meet the Trainers - Kevin Shelley

Kevin's love for fitness really began in 1979, when he started training in the Martial Arts. He started teaching Tae Kwon Do and Kendo in 1986, which lead Kevin to training fighters in the gym around 1988. Later, after he noticed that a slow and steady weight gain had lead him to a surplus of nearly 100 pounds, Kevin began studying nutrition and what we now call Weight Loss Science. Shortly thereafter, Kevin began sharing his knowledge with overweight friends and family members, which lead him to leave the elementary classroom and Martial Arts Dojo for a full-time career in the fitness industry.

Kevin holds a Bachelor of Science in Education, an Indiana State Teaching License, Personal Trainer Certification/Licensure/Insurance, a 4th Degree Black Belt in traditional Tae Kwon Do, and he is an active member of MENSA.

As a Fitness Trainer and Martial Artist, Kevin has appeared on television in over 40 different countries, including many shows here in the United States. These shows include “LIVE With Regis and Kelly,” “The Steve Harvey Show,” and “Guinness World Records Primetime” where he broke the world record for breaking the most 1x12x12 inch pine boards in 30 seconds with his forehead (Forehead strike through 31 boards in 30 seconds, Guinness World Records 2001 edition). Kevin's goal in life is to make the world a healthier, fitter place, one or two people at a time.
