Today we’d like to introduce you to Adam Shumaker.
Hi Adam, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Adam has been a certified personal trainer since 2013. With a background as a visual artist, musician, professional copywriter and English Teacher, Adam loves to bring creativity, humor and abstract thinking into his sessions. Since he began his fitness career, he’s been a fitness manager for a big box gym, a PR rep for a big box gym, and an intern under many nationally renowned coaches and fitness professionals including Ben Patrick (Knees Over Toes Guy). Adam has also successfully rehabbed a full ACL tear and a severe meniscus (knee cartilage) tear using the ATG or Knees Over Toes method. With over a decade of experience, Adam delivers excellent results to clients near and far. In addition to fitness and the arts, Adam is also an experienced meditator and cold plunge practitioner. He loves to integrate mindfulness and mental toughness into his teaching style.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I’ve had to overcome a shoulder impingement, a full ACL tear, a buckethandle meniscus tear, issues with alcohol and drugs and more. I also struggle with CPTSD, Major Depression and Anxiety Disorder. Fitness has helped me treat and manage all of the above issues. I am happy to discuss all of this.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m proud of the fact that I take a creative approach to my business. I employ humor, empathy, mindfulness, Buddhist wisdom in my lessons. I also am a visual artist and musician as well as a professional writer. I think having a background in the arts allows me to take a more fun and insightful approach to being a coach.
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
As the ability to serve others and to make a measurable impact in the quality of their lives.
