Coach

Shawn Farrugia

From an early age, I fostered a deep connection with fitness and training, which ultimately led me to pursue a career as a Personal Trainer. My background in Judo, a discipline I dedicated myself to for over a decade, transitioned me into the world of weight training. The realisation that strength training could enhance my performance in Judo sparked my venture into Powerlifting, a journey that captivated me entirely.

After competing in various Powerlifting competitions, where I achieved success, breaking national records at home and abroad. Athletes began seeking my guidance as a Coach. Seeing them excel and set new benchmarks by clinching numerous World and European records both locally and internationally was truly rewarding. This experience ignited a passion within me that I was eager to share with others. Subsequently, I acquired my Personal Training certification and joined Steel Extreme Fitness, where I have been coaching since 2019. 

Area of expertise:  I work with Powerlifting athletes coaching them at both National and International levels. Apart from working with athletes, I enjoy working with clients of all fitness levels, from total newbies to seasoned gym goers.  Goal-driven individuals who want to better their lives through strength training which has been proven to be the most effective in improving general health including physical and mental well-being.

Fun facts:  I love cats & have 3 of my own!
