“Shannon is the best of the best for personal training tailored to your needs and capability. He will push you as far as you can go without making you tap out early.”

On tailored training
“As someone who was new to going to the gym, our sessions have helped to build my form and overall confidence in training by myself. Shannon tailors sessions to my needs and goals including by introducing new exercises as needed.”
Andrew Tan

“I've had to go through several PTs who have little interest in personalising training. Shannon's program has been pivotal to my strength recovery. He built my plan with contingencies for when I'm too ill to train.”
