Shawn Booth – winner of the reality TV show “The Bachelorette”, talks about his participation in the show, the struggles and how did he manage to stay fit.
Booth spent 12 weeks trying to win the heart of his now-fiancée Kaitlyn Bristowe on Season 11 of the reality. “Going through The Bachelorette,” Booth told Menshealth. “That was just a different type of toughness I’ve never experienced.”

The 31-year-old personal trainer is a well-experienced athlete as he has already tried playing collegiate soccer, surviving a severe car crash, and completing an Ironman. So we can only imagine how tough being a contestant on the show actually is.
“They [the show’s producers] kind of try to break you,” Booth said. “They really try to take you out of your element, make you deal with your emotions in different ways in order to try and get some drama.”
Despite all the troubles he had to face, Shawn left the show with a fiancée and a massive following that has helped him launch to fame as a fitness personality.

Unfortunately, for Booth there wasn’t any gym. Especially for him, it was a problem as far as fitness was more than just his job as a personal trainer.
“Since there wasn’t a gym, I packed resistance bands,” he said. “There were also a couple of other personal trainers on the show — one guy brought a TRX, another a set of dumbbells. We were able to do workouts out of that.”

This occasion really inspired fitness influencer to set up his own workout program, Booth Camp, which is full of workouts that require little to no equipment. “You really can get just as good of a workout in out of the gym as you can in,” he said.
Now Booth’s goal is to expand his ideas over the world. “I still have a few personal training clients at home (in Nashville), but I’m mostly traveling, teaching bootcamp classes,” he said. “I love the intensity of group fitness classes. Everyone is working towards one goal, and there’s always a lot of energy.”

“Honestly, don’t try to go out and force anything,” he said. “Focus on living the life you want to live, and just let whatever is going to happen, happen.”
