MEET YOUR COACH
SHAWN TEGTMEIER
Shawn Tegtmeier is a full – time Certified Personal Trainer and the author of Running With Walt. She has certifications in Corrective Exercise, Fitness Nutrition, Small Group Training, Behavior Modification and CPR. Before all of her certifications, she was a self – proclaimed chain – smoking couch potato. Never enjoyed sports of any kind while growing up in Crystal Lake, IL, with her parents, three siblings, and a variety of pets.
In the late 90s, early 2000s she had a shocking realization that she smelled like a dirty ashtray. It was this first milestone, when she was able to successfully quit her beloved nicotine friends she felt empowered. With her newfound courage, she felt brave enough to attempt other endeavors she had never thought of, or really thought possible.
In 2007, Shawn started the BAm training programs at her favorite local running store, The Running Depot. Since then, she has successfully coached hundreds of people (of all abilities) across the finish line!
Shawn continues to try new things, loving every minute of it while always enjoying life to the fullest.
