Shannon Thomas

With the exception of being active most of my life my first organized "working-out" began when I was on the crew team at my college.  Since then I have always been active and have not only worked on fitness but established fitness goals for myself to include competing in a Half-Ironman event which I did in September of 2009.  A close friend if mine encouraged me to teach cycling classes in 2008 and that began my entry into the arena of training and fitness.  Many of my cycling attendees asked me to train them so I added ACSM Personal Training and AFAA Group Fitness to my certifications...as well as specialty certifications in Indorow.  But that's not all...In November 2010 I opened my own womens fitness studio which concentrates on personal training and fitness classes for those of any fitness level.  Our mission is: "to provide a comfortable, non-intimidating, environment for women of all fitness levels that will motivate them to adopt a healthy lifestyle and achieve their fitness goals".  As I tell my clients, we are all working on the same things, "making the best decisions for our health"...I just hope that I can guide my clients in a direction that will help them value their own health and fitness.
