You're in good hands
Shannon began her coaching journey over a decade ago, noticing how women’s unique needs, especially around hormones and menopause, were often ignored in strength training programs.
As a gym owner, coach, personal trainer, and founder of Muscles for Menopause, she saw how many women were using outdated methods to lose fat and gain muscle.
By reducing cardio and focusing on resistance training, Shannon's clients have experienced noticeable changes in body composition, increased strength, and improved overall mood.
She’s on a mission to normalize these conversations, empowering women to start lifting!
