I was born in the heart of Los Angeles, CA. At an early age I gravitated toward boxing as a way to work out aggression. While visiting Thailand I was introduced to the sweet science of the eight limbs called Muay Thai kickboxing and have had the honor of being part of that culture ever since. I established "Body Art by Shaun" in 1996 with the idea of not only challenging, but also inspiring individuals to become their best while achieving their fitness goals. I have been a certified personal trainer since 1997 and have had the pleasure of training everyone from non-athletes to athletes to celebrities alike. I have established several children's afterschool fitness programs within Inglewood, CA, and Hawthorne, CA. I was health and fitness editor for Inglewood Today and Crenshaw Today Magazines. I also maintained a monthly fitness article with both magazines titled "Shape Up with Shaun." I've had the luxury of being part of several fitness videos including, Kathy Smith's timesaver video series, "Lift Weights to Loose Weight" and lead cyclist in the "Cycle Reebok" infomercial.

The training sessions in Muay Thai usually last for 60-90 minutes. During these training sessions you will be engaged in various physical activities like running, stretching before the exercises take place, bag work, shadow boxing, training with Thai pad, rope skipping, exercising with a medicine ball, weight training, etc. While you are practicing these training sessions you should be ready for rapid weight loss because the training can be intense. One of the benefits everyone loves is the burning of the excessive fat. This is one of the most attractive benefits that Muay Thai training and the reason why so many people enjoy Muay Thai so much.
Lisa has been a client of mine from 2011 to the present day. At 5 feet 11 inches she weighed 312 lbs when we first began training and had 46 percent body fat. She now weighs 186 lbs and has 28 percent body fat.

Shaun is awesome. He met me right where I was at (not in the best shape...) and listened to me to formulate a fitness vision that works for both of us. Workouts with Shaun are a lot of fun, a mixture of high intensity muay-Thai skills, other conditioning exercises, and stretching. For the first time I can say I look forward to working out. Shaun is helping me to incorporate fitness into my life in a realistic and meaningful way through our sessions, at home assignments, and basic nutritional guidance. I am so grateful that I found Shaun to assist me in my fitness journey! Plus he's great to talk to!
I have worked with other trainers in the past, but Shaun is by far the best. You'll achieve whatever cosmetic changes you set your mind to, but Shaun's focus is on your strength and fitness; the cosmetic changes are a welcome byproduct. "Trust the process," he often says. With Shaun in charge of your fitness, you would be wise to listen.
Shaun is very humble and funny
Hi motivates me to bring out the best and the maximum , not only in my training session, also in my daily routine .
I feel stronger, healthier and the most important for me as a woman I dropped the weight I wanted which makes me feel more confident.
I enjoy the boxing session because it's something different but also Taff. And I look bad ass ;)
Thank you Shaun
