My name is Shannon Connors, proud owner of Shannon Connors Fitness. I have a dream to help children, teens, and adults to lead a healthy, positive fit and active life.
I am a 44 year old single mom of four kids, a First Grade teacher, a personal trainer and a group fitness instructor. But it wasnt always that way. In my late thirties, life and kids and stress overwhelmed me and I ballooned up to 210lbs. Having been an instructor and trainer back in my twenties, seeing my 210lb reflection in the mirror of Wal Mart that day opened my eyes. Was this really how I was going into my forties? Where the hell did I go and how did I get here??
That day along with many other that followed I soul searched. I went back to get recertified, made a commitment to myself, hired a trainer and decided I was not going to live one more day overweight, depressed and simply existing.
The change did not come easy and without some heartache and pain along the way. Suffering through the trials and tribulations of an abusive relationship and some life changing experiences, I finally picked myself up, found my strength to be #unbreakable and decided that if I survived and changed my life, it was my turn to pay it forward and help others.
I began my journey of helping men and women in Buffalo through positive group fitness and one on one personal training sessions. I believe in the power of team. I believe that no one is too broken to find health and wellness and live the fit, healthy lifestyle they were meant to achieve.
My passion for fitness and education have finally come together. Five times a week I hold dynamic high energy fitness classes for 70+ dedicated clients that educate on importance of building muscle and eating right. I train 30+ individuals in any given week and assist them with diet and nutritional needs.
But one of my favorite things to do is to run my ITTY BITTY BOOTCAMPS for children ages 4-12 to help them learn at a very young age the importance of staying active and eating right.
Here is my dream: to open a specialized fitness studio for group fitness classes and most importantly, my ITTY BITTY BOOTCAMPERS. I am asking for your help.
I have secured my location however, I need funding to help purchase some equipment for my ITTY BITTYs and begin my Shannon Connors Fitness Fight against Childhood Obesity Foundation. I want to educate and train our community - adults, teens and especially our kids, so the life choices they make now can positively and directly benefit them for years to come.
Please consider donating to Shannon Connors Fitness and support my passion for fitness education and healthy living. Help me to help our community - one ITTY BITTY step at a time. Help me to create a community of children and adults that are strong and #unbreakable!
