Shawn is singular in her focus on *every single person* who walks in the door, paying attention to their goals, their capacity and challenges, and their execution.

I’ve also experienced wonderful personal training with Mark, who helped me build confidence as a weight-training newbie—yes, I *can* do this. I feel lucky.

Truly the only gym I’ve been able to stick with. Shawn is an incredible coach and has created a great atmosphere for all. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something new and other gyms didn’t work for you.

After being in the Army, I swore off going to the gym because I felt burned out. I started going to Ritual (formerly Badger Den) and working with coach Shawn in January 2018. He plans each session so that it's easy to follow and new every day/week. Shawn makes every hour I spend at Ritual worth my time and I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a new place to train.
