It’s safe to say, the last couple years have been a whirlwind. In 2015, I won season 11 of the Bachelorette where I met my incredible fiance Kaitlyn Bristowe. After that, my life turned upside down. What seemed like overnight, I went from an insurance consultant to reality TV personality and, most days, it feels pretty surreal. At heart, I still feel like a small-town kid from Windsor Locks, Connecticut.

Growing up, sports and fitness played a huge role in my life. As a kid, I was always hitting the football field with friends or kicking a soccer ball around in the backyard. This eventually led to playing soccer for Keene State College and competing in NPC Body Physique bodybuilding competitions, but it wasn't until a few years later that I decided to make the leap to fitness coaching.

As soon as I got my NASM certification and started leading workouts, I knew this was something I wanted to take to the next level. So, after years of picking clients’ brains to figure out exactly what they want and need from a fitness and nutrition plan, I started Healthy Meal Plans by Shawn Booth and launched the workout and nutrition app BOOTHCAMP. Working with people to help them achieve their health and fitness goals has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve met so many amazing people on this journey, and I’m excited to see what the future holds.

When I’m not in the gym or on a fitness tour, I love relaxing at home in Nashville with my better halves– Kaitlyn and my golden lab Tucker Doodles. It’s a crazy life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
