Personal Trainer
Despite Shawn is still young, he isn’t shy to admit that he is working out.
He had been seen many times posting pictures of his body transformations on his Instagram profile.
As Shawn said, he loves to see progress (in terms of fitness) on his body and since young, he dreamed about having those 6 packs out. He has never been so close to being “the guy with an attractive body” because of his recent body transformation which can be seen on Instagram.
