About Shannon
My favorite client story
When I first started training, my first client was a young 27 year old female named Meryl who struggled with weight all of her life. Being overweight just became the norm for her. She weighed in at 220lbs when we first started. Although working out was not something she did regularly, this girl was fierce! When we first started, she could not hold her own bodyweight, and within months, we were doing bear crawls, full burpees and several stability exercises. After seeing each other 2 days a week for months, Meryl started adjusting her diet as well, and the weight started coming off very quick! The day she went under 200lbs, was the first time since she was in High School. I'll never forget her coming out of the locker room with fitted jeans and a tight black top saying, "Shannon, I have a waist!" Meryl just celebrated her 30th birthday. She is now 175lbs and looking more beautiful than ever. She is happy, healthy and living her best life.
My favorite exercise
A tough circuit! I'm that crazy girl at the gym with a short attention span running from station-to-station, slamming medicine balls, bear crawling to the next station, slamming ropes, and sweating way too much!

Shannon kicked my butt!. I love working out with Shannon. Her workouts are appropriately challenging and have a ton of variety. She is very supportive but doesn't go easy on you. At the end of the session I'm soaked and exhausted!
