Shawn L. Jenkins, a personal trainer, has become an “in demand” professional and his client list includes members of TV shows Six Feet Under, 7^th Heaven, The Ellen Degeneres Show and Scrubs, plus movies such as Monster’s Ball and X Men.

    Shawn, originally from Detroit, Michigan, began his career as a dancer. He studied biology and theatre in college and was then recruited to join the Atlanta University Dance Theatre. After college, Shawn returned to his native Michigan where he joined a musical group by the name of Dreamboy, which was signed to Quest/Warner Records.

    Following Dreamboy, Shawn moved to LA to pursue a career in acting and dancing.

    He then received his lucky break when a photographer for the Los Angeles Times newspaper took a picture of him dancing at an LA nightclub. When the photo of Shawn was published, the headline read: “LA’s new celeb”.

    From there followed jobs with Warner Brothers, Capital Records, Vidal Sassoon, Aveda and he continued jobs in dancing, singing, acting and modeling.

    Shawn worked at the YMCA in the Hollywood/ Wilshire district, where he earned his certification as a personal trainer and spin instructor with the Johnny G. Spin Instructor Program. While he was teaching regular spinning classes, he started to teach a fitness class that was his own style and incorporated innovative techniques, with upbeat urban music which led to his popular “ABT” class (Abs, butt and thighs).

    Due to overwhelming demand of Shawn’s ABT classes, he has received countless requests for more classes and even a DVD. Now the ABT class has developed into an extremely popular “Hollywood Extreme Workout”, which has now become a full body and sculpting workout.
