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!

Charlotte Stockwell - Cashier

Hi, my name is Charlotte Stockwell. I am 17 years old and have been working since I was 14. This is the only job that I have truly loved and that has stuck with me. I intend to stay for a while and work my way up. When I moved to St. Augustine a few months ago I needed to find a new gym and when I tried out Baileys Gym, I immediately enjoyed the environment and knew this would be a permanent change. After seeing the hiring sign on the front desk, I applied, and a few weeks later I began working in the Children's Play Area. I now work as a Cashier. It’s been a pleasure caring for all of the Baileys children!

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!

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.
