Testimonials:
“Lisa is a highly knowledgeable professional whose guidance and programs deliver real results. She refined and balanced my workout routine to help me overcome my plateau and see significant improvement in muscle tone and body composition. I couldn't have done it without her.”Jessica Haldeman, Advanta Corp
“When I first saw Shannon, I was unable to even go about everyday activities without pain. Her knowledge of my problem and her massage therapy worked wonders, and within a month I was pain free.”
Elizabeth Gesel, Villanova Track Athlete
“I really appreciated the time that Shannon spent designing a summer workout program for me. I am a high school athlete, and Shannon’s program was perfect for my needs. Shannon and I met a few times before deciding what I wanted to focus on and what my goals were going to be for the summer. Creating a program that was specific to my individual strengths and weaknesses allowed me to see dramatic improvements in my speed, fitness, and strength… after only one summer!”
Sara Greenberg, Soccer, Basketball, and Lacrosse Athlete for The Baldwin School
“In 2002 I was training for Ironman Lake Placid. Due to the large amount of time spent training, my body began to break down, and my workouts began to become less and less productive. I was referred to Shannon by a mutual friend for massage therapy. I began to meet with Shannon every three to four weeks for a one hour massage. Immediately my body, especially my legs, felt better. I worked with Shannon right up until two days before the race and I felt great during the Ironman. I have worked with several massage therapists, and Shannon is the best by far!”
Kevin Miller, Iron Man Competitor
“I’m a 49 year old recreational runner. I’d been running 5K and 10K races, averaging about 10 minute miles. I also suffered from a nagging knee injury. I took Shannon’s “Basic Training” Cross Country Program during the summer. I am now running 8 minute miles for distances up to 10 miles. I’ve completed the Philadelphia Distance Run and can run 17 miles pain free. Shannon and the folks at GO! Athletics have taught me how to run smarter and faster without the risk of injury.”
Mike Ward, President, Fast Forward Associates
“As a competitive squash player and avid cyclist, no one loves a good workout more than me. However, as we all know, after a 50 mile ride or a grueling 5 game squash match two to three times per week, your muscles tend to be very sore and they need a good massage, which is why I visit Shannon and the team at GO! Athletics. Nothing helps me feel better and recover faster than having body work and muscle stretching done at GO! Athletics. I highly recommend their expert services for all of your health needs!”
Brad Augunas, IT Recruiter, Robert Half Technology
Shannon coached our daughter, Elisa, for two years in cross country and track, in private sessions, helping Elisa win state private school championships. Shannon developed and organized Elisa's training program, personally coached her in training sessions, entered her in races, encouraged her and raised her self-confidence, improved her performance dramatically, introduced and promoted her to college coaches, helped us with the college recruiting process, and became Elisa's running friend and mentor. Shannon is very responsive, knowledgeable, and diligent, and far exceeded all of our expectations. We very highly recommend Shannon for training, conditioning and coaching. One could not find a better or more dedicated coach.
Bill and Sheryl Payne, Parents of a Shipley Runner
"Shannon Grady did exceptional work with the Philadelphia Charge. She combines strength and conditioning expertise with a wonderful personality. She was a huge asset to our team".
Mark Krikorian, Former Head Coach of the Philadelphia Charge, and current Head Team Coach U-19 Women
"Shannon is a highly knowledgeable professional, and I have benefited greatly from her help in the form of massage rehabilitation and running advice. At some point every athlete should consult her."
Steve Kavanaugh, Recreational Runner
"I've worked with Shannon off and on since the fall of 2001, receiving massage, and tips for stretching, strength training and stride improvements. Even at the advanced age of 31, I'm still setting PRs at all distances. Anyone can pound out the miles, but it is the attention to small details that we often overlook. Shannon’s teaching and training has helped me get over the hump and I have had some breakthrough races!"
Michael Elabarger, Recreational Runner
