Shawn Seymour  -  Regional Manager

Shawn started working for Bailey's Health and Fitness 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 have 2 beautiful children, and enjoy every second of parenthood!

Tristen Lewis - Fitness Consultant

I was born in Jacksonville, however, I moved to the Putnam County area when I was young and still currently live there. While in high school, I played soccer for Palatka High School (although I attended Q. I. Roberts Jr-Sr High School) and was very active in my high school's Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter. From Soccer, I was in the habit of always being in the weight room and that is when my interest in health and fitness ignited. I became a member of Bailey's in February 2018 and fell in love with the friendly environment and the gym itself. In July of 2023, I joined the Bailey's family as a Fitness Consultant because I want to help others reach their goals and see their journey throughout their time as a member. I remember seeing my own progress when I started at the gym and the happiness it gave me. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me, I can't wait to watch the progress of new and existing members!

Delilah Omiecinski - Play Area Attendant

Hi, my name is Delilah. I moved to St. Augustine from the Tampa area in January 2021 and became a member at Bailey's shortly after. After many months, I decided to apply for the Play Area Attendant position. I do have to say how much I enjoy my job and all of the Bailey's kids! My boys love coming to work with me to play with all of the other children. Prior to our move to St. Augustine I ran a small home daycare, and before that I worked full time for a large ophthalmology practice, while working part time as a personal trainer and small group fitness instructor. When I am not working or working out, I enjoy spending time with my family. I look forward to caring for your children while you have time to achieve your fitness goals!

Al is also a very service oriented person and loves to help others out with his skills!

Ida Jennings - Cleaner

Hi, my name is Ida. I have been in Florida my whole life. I originally started with Bailey's in 2018 and have loved the Bailey's family ever since. I make the most of my days keeping the gym clean and nice for all the friendly faces. In my free time, I enjoy fishing. Hope to see you around!

Nate Franklin - Sweat PT Director

Originally from Alabama, I grew up in the country and have always enjoyed being outdoors hunting or shooting at the range. I moved to Jacksonville, Florida in 2000. I went straight to work in the automotive industry, where I remained for 17 years. In 2014, I was fortunate enough to come on board with Sweat PT as a trainer. After just one year working as a trainer I was granted the opportunity to move up in the company and become the fitness director at Bailey’s Orange Park location. Within my time in Orange Park I dedicated myself to my job and my clients, and in January of 2018, was once again blessed with the opportunity to progress in my career at Sweat PT as Bailey’s opened their brand new St. Augustine location. Fitness has always been my passion. My goal is to teach each client how valuable personal training truly is, and what amazing things it can do for them. I love to see people succeed, and I will do whatever it takes to see my clients not only reach, but exceed their goals.
