💪 TRANSFORMATION. GRIT. BROTHERHOOD.
Shield Fit Academy | Albuquerque, NM
> “On February 3rd, I entered the police academy for the first time and quickly realized my body wasn’t ready for the challenge. An old shoulder injury and lack of proper conditioning made it clear that I needed to step back and rebuild myself without risking further injury.
At almost 40 years old, I knew it wouldn’t be easy. That’s when Deputy Rob Mitchell, who I work with, stepped in and took me under his wing. He helped strengthen my shoulder, guided my training, and pushed me to become the best version of myself physically and mentally.
For four months, we worked hard together, and thanks to his dedication and encouragement, I returned to the academy stronger than ever. I’m now just three days away from graduation, with no physical or mental setbacks, and I owe a huge part of that success to him.
Rob is not only an incredible mentor and motivator but also an exceptional human being. If you’re looking for someone who will push you, support you, and bring out your best — Rob is your man.”
— Deputy Shackelford
This is what Shield Fit Academy is about: rebuilding confidence, strength, and endurance through discipline, accountability, and grit.
