Testimonials

I was insecure not just about my body, but my ability to even TRY. Shannon worked with me to build a plan that would ease me back into physical activity… It’s been really great to work with someone understanding and adaptable. Over the past 18 months, I’ve started feeling more confident about myself…. Working with Shannon has helped me reach goals…and made me confident enough to set new ones.

I am a 72-year-old who started training with Shannon three years ago…. Not only has by back pain completely disappeared, I just returned from a 119-mile canoe trip that I did without any mishap! Shannon’s exercises, delivered with warm encouragement and strong persistence, have been the backbone of my recovery. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in becoming stronger.

I first began my fitness journey after a back injury…. After I recovered, I continued working out as prevention, maintenance, and self-care and it has become an integral part of my life…. I would recommend Shannon’s services for anyone who would like to start or continue their fitness journey…. Workouts have been crafted to my needs and wants and Shannon meets me where I’m at, but she’s also challenged me to want more and to recognize that I am capable of pushing myself.
