August Member Spotlight: Sean Schweiker

Tell us a little about yourself and how you got into fitness? I grew up playing lacrosse and have generally stayed pretty active.  

What keeps you coming back each day? I just feel way better when I exercise consistently and more stressed when I don’t.  

What is your favorite at-home exercise to do?  I like going on walks or runs with my dogs - I’ve got a mutt and a golden retriever.  

If you had to do 100 reps of one movement (not running), what would it be? Squats.

What are 1-2 of your goals for 2026?  I’m getting married next April, so my goal is to figure out where we’re going to settle down.  

Favorite lift?  Curls, obviously.  

Least favorite functional movement? Cleans.  

Hometown?  Fairfax, Virginia

Favorite Charleston Restaurant?  Lost Isle or Southbound.

If you could do another job for just one day, what would it be? A marine biologist.

What would you most like to tell yourself at age 13? I would tell myself to spend way more time studying marine biology.

What’s one thing that people would be surprised to know about you? I have six brothers - 5 older and 1 younger.  

If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would you meet? I was just up in Philadelphia - Ben Franklin seems like he’d be very interesting to talk to.  

If the Nomad coaches came to your house for dinner, what would you prepare?  Ribeye.
