USAF Ret. - DISRUPTOR - FITNESS TRAINER. INNOVATOR - INVENTOR-DEVELOPER - CONSULTANT - AUTHOR - PUBLIC SPEAKER
Shawn Bennett is best known for creating the "Measured Intensity Training" in early 2000's after applying Static Contraction Training using Explosive Fitness Equipment (out of business 2008). Shawn was a very successful Business Owner and quickly became the #1 personal trainer in the state being voted "Personal Trainer of the Year" 4 consecutive years and and his personal training business was selected 5 consecutive years in Oklahoma City Awards for Health Markets qualifying for the OKC Business Hall of Fame.. The specific type of strength training he offered required very uniquely designed equipment. The problem was that there was no exercise regimen or protocol for those who owned such equipment. It was and is important for Shawn's clients to understand how important it is to performance using ISOMETRICS with free weights, body weight, and conventional machines or gym equipment and as a Personal Trainer and Entrepreneur, this is when Shawn saw an opportunity to design a specialized piece of physical training equipment that would provide a solution.
Shawn became the lead trainer, researcher, spokesperson, sales person for a company called "Explosive Fitness." Because of his knowledge, experience, and willingness to help anyone get the most out of their workout using "EF" equipment, he soon became the most "trusted" source in this revolutionary field of isometric and static contraction training using purpose built equipment.
Shawn is nationally and internationally recognized as a speaker and expert on measured isometrics and static contraction training. He has personally trained and or consulted thousands of clients, personal trainers, amateur, collegiate and professional athletes; as well as physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors and many other professionals. Shawn Bennett has developed training methods, manuals and videos for start up companies looking to launch new exercise equipment in this field. He has also developed market specific business plans/models and franchise models for chiropractors, physicians, physical therapists, wellness centers, government facilities, athletic departments and other fitness related companies and organizations.
