About
Hi, my name is Shannon Platkin, i've been modeling for more than 20 years and I have been an American Council on Exercise (ACE) certified trainer for more than 10 years. Over those 10 years, I have helped clients to lose weight, start making better food choices (notice I didn't use the dieting word), reach personal fitness goals, and heal and work around various injuries including shoulder, knee, and lower back. I love hearing how a bit of advice or a particular exercise has helped and the excitement a client feels when they see results.
TESTIMONIALS
I have been in Shannon's core group for over 5 years. When she started her "Mommy Bootcamp", I had all but given up on fitting in any exercise as a stay-at-home mom. Today, I am as fit as I have ever been, or at least since getting married 15 yrs ago and it feels great! Shannon found ways to support me through a series of life changes. From battling a bout of cancer to healing a serious shoulder injury to having my third child and finally getting off all that extra weight. Thanks to Shannon it was by far the best pregnancy and easiest delivery. I find Shannon's class to be the highlight of my week. It is a fun, challenging workout in a clean, calm environment that accommodates the needs of a whole bunch of lovely ladies. We are all of different ages, with different abilities and backgrounds. Shannon's easy-going personality creates a relaxed, comfortable, and accepting environment for people to work on their own issues. She has an inclusive, optimistic approach that makes even the most jaded beginner a convert to her healthy lifestyle and regular exercise routine. She can be funny, motivational, and sensitive in a single session. If you are serious about changing your life for the better but don't want lectures or pressure that make you feel intimidated and defeated, put your faith in Shannon. I'm so glad I did!
I have been taking Shannon's morning classes for the past year. Shannon listens to my concerns and understands my challenges as a woman and a mother. I love going to her class in the morning where she makes breaking a sweat light fun. And I always love to talk food as she is an amazing chef too! I am a yogi and her class helps balance out my fitness routine and my body. I've never looked better!

Shannon has trained me for more than five years. She is knowledgeable and great at adjusting workouts for injuries and medical conditions. She inspires me to want to be healthier and improve my physical condition; I am a much stronger person for having worked with her.
-NANCY H. NYC
Working out with Shannon seriously changed my life! After wasting six months on ridiculously expensive, ineffective physical therapy at a famous hospital, Shannon created exercises and routines to strengthen the area around the knee. Within months, my injury was healed and my knee stopped popping out. On top of curing a life-long knee problem, Shannon helped me lose the 20 pounds I had gained after I quit smoking. Her personalized and encouraging approach, as well as fun group classes, keep me coming back every week.
I began Shannon's class as someone who couldn't touch her toes and carrying that insulting extra baby weight. I'm down fifteen pounds in less than five months and I can stretch my hands around my toes. I cannot think of a better testimonial than this, right?
I have worked with Shannon for over 4 years. With an old knee injury, I had always been nervous to work out or go to the gym. Shannon's encouragement and patience have made me stronger, more flexible and not afraid to use my knee! Shannon makes working out fun and inspires me to reach new goals. She creates workouts that are challenging and full of variety. I have recommend Shannon to several of my friends, and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, personable, knowledgeable personal trainer.

I have been working out and conditioning with Shannon for over six years now. I continue to be motivated by her sessions since she always is evolving the regimen. I find she really balances out the targeted areas with a great combination of workouts for all parts of my body – cardio and strength training as well. Shannon gives me confidence that one usually lacks the ability to perform certain exercises. Last, but not least, Shannon has developed a great program to help monitor my diet and the regimen associated with it!
