Shannon Murphy

A lover of fitness, Shannon began her group fitness leadership journey in the spring of 2023 when she had been working in an area over an hour from her home & fallen in love with POUND. After 3 years her work area shifted back home & there were no POUND Instructors anywhere nearby. Shannon knew she had to train & become an instructor in her area. Soon after she had a plane ticket to NH & became POUND certified.

Shannon attended Northern Oklahoma College studying Behavioral Science & later attended Oklahoma State University where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. She is currently employed at the U.S. Department of Commerce where she has worked for 10 years collecting data on America’s health for the CDC, unemployment & employment rates for the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, & specialty Census studies.

Shannon enjoys spending time with family & friends, the beach & outdoors, traveling, hiking, swimming, running 5K’s, & listening to music. Her music interests are quite broad & include hip hop, pop, classic rock, hyperpop, & electronic dance music. Shannon teaches POUND 2 evenings a week at her local YMCA & also does special events with POUND Fit. Her most recent event was in a Fabletics store where shoppers who attended the class received a free Fabletics tote & a 50% off shopping event! She also enjoys teaching at all-inclusive beach resorts through Fit Bodies!
