Meet Coach Shannon 🤍
Shannon’s journey to CrossFit started as a way to become a stronger runner, but it quickly became much more than that.
Encouraged by family to try it with them, she jumped in and went through on-ramp, not knowing just how much it would impact her. While they decided it wasn’t for them, Shannon was hooked.
She fell in love with the versatility of the workouts, the coaches, and the people. More than that, she discovered a new passion in pushing herself to do things she once didn’t think were possible.
Physical activity has always been important to her. Along the way, Shannon has navigated injuries that created limitations in what she could physically do. Those experiences shaped how she coaches today, with a focus on helping people find options that work for them.
It gave her a deeper understanding of how different every athlete’s journey can be.
That perspective allows her to better adapt, communicate, and support each individual based on their needs, meeting them where they are and helping them continue to grow.
For Shannon, success in fitness is understanding that it’s a personal journey. It’s not about comparison, even though competition can be fun at times. It’s about becoming better than you were before.
As a coach, success means helping athletes truly believe in themselves and recognize what they’re capable of.
One of the biggest lessons she carries beyond the gym is to let go of preconceived perceptions of others. You never fully know someone’s story, what they’ve been through, or what they’re capable of.
Her personal motto reflects how she approaches both fitness and life.
Find the joy in your journey.
We’re grateful to have Coach Shannon on the Jurassic team. 🦖
