Losing weight is a struggle. I enjoy what I do because I can motivate a person to take charge of their life and become healthier. I have clients that have 20+ pounds to lose and have taken the step to lose the weight. I have been their guide and support through their journey. They are the ones that have done the hard work and I cannot describe how great it is to see them transform. Listening to the excitement in a client’s voice when they tell me their new pant size is priceless. They now make the decision everyday to be healthy and walk instead of drive and to cook instead of get take out. Thank you to all my clients who have already shared this transformation with me. Start your journey.
How have my clients had success with weight-loss?
They all have 3 things in common:
- They came to me to talk about their weight-loss goals.
- They listened and followed my basic plan toward a healthier lifestyle.
- They made themselves accountable.

Melanie, Queen Anne
Total weight loss: 90 pounds"Shannon's kettlebell workouts are amazing -- she helped me lose over 90 lbs in a year. She has an energy that makes you just want to push yourself farther than you thought you could and she is just an all around awesome person and trainer."

Total weight loss: 45 pounds
Goal achieved: dropped 4 dress sizes"Since birth, I have truly detested anything resembling athletics. I've been an artist, a musician, and an academic, but never an athlete. And yet at 25, staring at the results of college and the freshman 15 (and lets be honest, the senior 10), moving across the country twice and the associated month in a hotel, and the "stress eating" of a second new job in less than a year, I realized it was time to face the proverbial music and get moving. I heard about Fit by Red from a friend and decided to give Shannon a shot. I admit that I was nervous - how could I let some perky little fitness freak into my home to blow her whistle and say atrocious things like "get down and give me twenty"? My stereotyping could not have been more wrong. Shannon showed up to my home with a professional, personalized plan and down to earth attitude. She was sympathetic to my lack of athleticism and got me gently, but firmly, into gear. Ten sessions of personal training and three bootcamps later, I'm proud to say I ran a whole mile without stopping for the first time since grade school. I still have a lot of miles to log before I reach my fitness goals, but thanks to Fit by Red I'm actually on the running track with the knowledge that I can reach my destination."

Total weight loss: 90 pounds"Shannon has done so much to improve my health and wellness. Not only does she come up with workouts that are enjoyable and don't make me feel bad about myself, but she helps with nutrition and comes up with ways to include working out in a daily routine. I started less then 6 months ago and not only do I feel better about myself, I have more confidence and energy and I now look forward to working out. Before I started with Fit By Red, driving was the only way I would get to places -- now I'm more likely to walk or walk to a bus stop than take my car out. After less then 6 months of working out I'm about half way to my fitness goals and now have so much more energy during the day."
Katy, Queen Anne
Total weight loss: 35 pounds"I have always been an active and athletic person, but as college ended and my desk job began, I found that it became increasingly more difficult to find the time and motivation to work out, while simultaneously my appetite for carbs and sugars and fried food (anything delicious really) made that lack of body dedication more and more evident.
Without classifying myself as unhappy during any part of my weight gain, I have found through working with Shannon what it truly means to have self confidence. I have been working with her for nearly a year, and can honestly say that I am a changed and better person from each and every session. Not only have I been given the tools and skills to keep myself physically and mentally healthy, she has given me the encouragement and motivation to achieve a life-long commitment to making myself and my body’s health a priority.
Even having been previously as athletic as I was, through working with Shannon I have seen my body change in ways and shapes that I had never seen before. She is tough when required, sympathetic when needed, and supportive always. Once you set your goals and (most importantly) your determination towards becoming a healthier version of yourself, she will become your biggest advocate to not only achieve your initial goals, but to surprise yourself by surpassing them.
She has become a permanent fixture to my life (and my budget), and what she has done for me and will continue to help me to do for myself is worth every single cent."
