I have absolutely loved training with Shannon, having the programme on my phone has been so convenient.  I work long hours which means my schedule often changes. Having the app has helped keep me accountable and I can schedule my training around work.  When I have been concerned about exercise form, Shannon has been able to correct me straight away, and always provides multiple options like home workouts when I haven’t been able to get to the gym. This is has been vital in my recovery from a few big injuries.

As an Athlete I had the privilege of working with Shannon as she headed up the NZ Warriors NRLW Strength and Conditioning Programme for 2019 — Throughout our Campaign her duty of care and hands on approach for each squad member was second to none and still is today. She designed our programs systematically to cater for building muscular strength and power, stability and balance that was vital to our control, accuracy and precision during all movements in life and Rugby League. As a female athlete trying to navigate the stresses of Day-to-Day working, personal life and the demands and obligations I had to meet as an athlete took a toll on my hormones at times and Shannon was always there to help guide me and to adjust my nutrition to help balance my nutritional needs when needed because as a female athlete we aren’t built like our male counterparts, our hormone levels tend to play a much larger role and Shannon enabled me to understand my body a lot in that sense. Shannon is not just an incredible coach but also person and I look forward to training alongside her again.

I broke my leg skiing in the USA in January 2019 (tibial plateau and tibia). I spent 3 months in a wheelchair as I opted not to have any surgery and to allow my body to heal itself. I started working with Shannon to rebuild my leg so that I could ski again. I skied in Japan in February 2020 and I had no pain. Shannon’s wealth of knowledge and patience taught me how to reignite my body. 

I highly recommend Shannon, just 3 months after giving birth to my son, i decided to play footy again. If you want to reach your performance goals, Shannon is that person who will whip you into shape, I've seen it with my own eyes. The best highly skilled performance trainers I have ever had and I've been playing footy for a long time. Shannon is a bad ass trainer, her programming is intense and is designed to improve movement, and work on position - and sport-specific skills whilst reducing injury risk.  I could feel and see it was working. Thank you for your excellent communication, I appreciate your coaching guidance, help, time and effort. Thank you for changing my body from saggy mum to leaner, stronger and athlete.

Shannon was the first female trainer I had ever had. It was so refreshing and I learnt so much in the timeframe that I was fortunate enough to work alongside her. The specifics that she dived into about female training was something that myself and the team had never had access to before. We really got to learn and understand our bodies, training and playing at the highest level, and how we function and work so differently to men. Not only Shannon’s knowledge around nutrition, top level performance, travel, recovery and S&C but also the addition of this knowledge around specific female training was of great benefit. Shannon went over and above whilst she worked with our NRLW Warriors team, she travelled back and forth from the South Island and worked with us closely online. She would take girls for gym sessions around their schedules (as our sport is still semi-professional), she made an effort to train with girls at gyms and in their local areas to suit them too. Shannon sorted an app that all players had access too so if we were ever apart or training alone we could still access gym programmes, recovery information, training information, we could post meals we were having, track weight etc. Shannon is a phenomenal trainer.
