Shannon has always had a passion for exercise and teaching people to take care of their bodies the correct way because of her struggle. During high school, she struggled with an eating disorder and because of that experience she has developed a passion for people that struggle with their body image. She knows what it is like to be unhealthy, and wants to be able to use her story to show people that they can change. Outside of the gym, Shannon loves spending time outdoors with her husband Jon and their dog, Flynn. She also enjoys playing in basketball recreational leagues, playing her guitar, and drinking lots of coffee.
