Mandarin
Shawn Seymour
Shawn Seymour is the Manager of our Mandarin and Merrill Rd. locations. Shawn started working for Bailey's Powerhouse Gyms in April 1997 as a Fitness Consultant at our Jax Beach location. He then moved on to become a Gym Manager at our (then) Atlantic Blvd. location, then St. Johns Bluff and Jax Beach locations. In 2000, Shawn became our GM of Operations, helping the Baileys oversee the day-to-day operations of all locations. He recently rejoined our team in January 2010 after leaving in December 2008 to pursue other opportunities in Asheville, NC. We sure are glad to have him back!
One of Shawn's famous quotes he likes to share with our members and fellow employees is "You can find weights, machines and cardio at pretty much any gym in town, but what separates us from our competition is our great customer service, extra clean facility, and our passion to help our members succeed". Stop by and see Shawn and his staff next time you are in the gym. They will be more than happy to help you in any way they can!
On a personal note, Shawn loves spending time with his family and friends, boating, and traveling - especially in the Caribbean! Shawn and his wife Johna just had a beautiful baby girl in January, and are loving every second of parenthood!

Shane Fox
Shane Fox is the Manager for Sweat Personal Training in our Mandarin location. He originally came in as a personal trainer but realized the management position allowed him the opportunity to combine his desire to educate as well as to provide outstanding customer service for a great organization.
He is a graduate from Ohio Northern University with a bachelor in Industrial Technology, and in 2009 he gained his PT certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. While this is an odd combination, engineering was a job - not a career! He is truly passionate about the service he provides, as you will be able to tell with his attitude.
Shane is a true family man who enjoys spending every free moment with his wife and their two children, Ethan and Brody.
