Meet Your Warriors

These aren't your typical gym trainers. Each one's been through the fire, fought real battles, and knows what it takes to turn you into something dangerous.

We hand-picked every instructor based on what they've done, not just what certificates they've got hanging on a wall. Yeah, they're all certified and legit, but more importantly - they've actually lived this stuff.

Personal training at Shadow Chronicle

Book Your First Session

Look, you can flip through those cards all day, but the real question is - when're you gonna step on the mat? Every trainer here offers a trial session so you can feel out who clicks with your style.

We match people based on goals and personality, not just whoever's got an open slot. Some folks need someone who'll scream at 'em, others want a technical breakdown of every move. We got both.

Training Philosophy

Here's how we roll when it comes to coaching:

No BS Approach

We're not here to be your friend or tell you what you wanna hear. You'll get honest feedback, real corrections, and actual progress - not just empty motivation.

Safety First, Always

Yeah, we push hard, but smart. Every trainer knows when to dial it back and how to keep you in one piece. There's a big difference between tough training and stupid training.

Everyone's Different

What works for some 20-year-old athlete ain't gonna work for a 45-year-old desk worker. We adjust everything - intensity, technique, pace - based on where YOU'RE at.
