Who Are We?

Hey, I'm Shannon Pigdon, founder of Lonedog.

For over 9 years, I've helped Albury/Wodonga locals build sustainable strength and drop weight through adaptive, enjoyable training that actually fits into real life.

What started as bootcamps has evolved into our unique 3-pillar MPE system—Move, Play, Educate—designed to meet you exactly where you are, whether you are brand new to fitness or looking to take your training to the next level.

Our approach is different because it's built on understanding your body's capacity each day.

Using techniques like the 'movement bubble, we explore what feels safe and strong for you right now, then progressively expand from there.

I've competed internationally in kettlebell sport—representing Australia 12 times— and have studied health and fitness all over the world. I bring that expertise into every session.

Whether you're looking to lose 5-10 kg, move without pain, or improve your performance. At

At Lonedog we customise everything to your energy, schedule, and lifestyle.

FAQ

We start with your movement bubble – your safe capacity right now.

We check in each session, see how you feel, then customise everything.

You explore the exercise, adjust what works, and finish stronger.

How do you handle nutrition without strict diets?

Yes. We meet you where you are – zero experience needed. Start with what feels comfortable, then progress at your own pace.

How Running Was

Made Easy For Obstacle Racing

Karen's 12-Year Journey

From 6.3% Body Fat Loss to Conquering the Ultra Beast

Sammy Mac

From 108kgs down to 91kgs

“Thanks to Shannon, Cheryl and all my fellow fun-loving, hard-working, and I would say just a crazy Lonedoggers I have made some great friends and never had a day when I haven’t wanted to turn up, even to some 6am sessions!”

Nathan Howell

“They Gave Me My Life Back”

My blood pressure hit 176/96 and liver enzymes were sky-high (AST 276, ALT 217), but six months in Lonedog’s Nutrition Group with Shannon and Cheryl dropped everything to normal—AST and ALT around 20, BP steady, and the doc said 'no further action required.' They gave me my life back."

Karlen Holloway

“Looking forward to getting my bikini body out this summer”

“I went from heaviest-ever after leaving the beach to addicted to Lonedog’s bootcamp—surviving that brutal first fitness test, learning more from Shannon and Cheryl than my PE degree, boosting my netball speed and strength, and now chasing a bikini body with the Nutrition Group. The sore legs in Epsom salts? Totally worth it for this supportive crew!”

Robyn Sanderson

Down 20kgs in 16 months

Running 5 km Non-Stop

“In just 16 months at Lonedog, I dropped over 20 kg (10 kg in the Nutrition Program alone), went from unfit desk-dweller to running 5 km with Run Club, and built a healthy lifestyle I stick to even over Christmas—all thanks to Cheryl and Shannon’s endless support and guidance.”

Olivia Aughton

“You won’t be disappointed”

“After moving to Albury, Karlen introduced me to Lonedog—now their varied bootcamps keep me motivated and having fun, while the Nutrition Program is boosting my knowledge, athletic performance, and helping shed stubborn kg’s for a healthier life!"

Janelle Pigdon

From Running around the block to the Marathon in Athens

“I’ve gone from the pink kettlebell (8 kg) to the blue (20 kg) for some sessions... I completed three full marathons... in Canberra, Gold Coast and finally Athens in Greece…… The home of the marathon.”
