About Us
Shannon Pigdon
Lonedog Coach/Owner
How did I wind up here writing this...
Years ago, I worked in a stress filled trade, was overweight and a regular gym goer getting now results while trying to eat right.
In 2008, I was ready to become educated and find mentors to support my journey.
Lonedog was born and since then I have travelled the world to work with experts and industry leaders of exercise sciences, nutrition & health.
In getting ready, Lonedog evolved into the best health, wellness, and fitness space that it is today.
I have represented Australia more on more than 12 separate occasions internationally at World Championships in the weightlifting endurance sport of kettlebell lifting to many medals and accolades.
The turning point?
In 2019, I was diagnosed with cancer requiring major abdominal surgery that
left me starting from square one.
Using the Lonedog Pillars, I was able to return to pain free life without
constraint and also ascended back to my sport at levels higher than before I got the cancer.
I am ready now to pass on these Lonedog Pillars to many more people to achieve every thing they deserve for themselves just as I have.
Who Lonedog isn't for…
The Fixed Mindset Believer
Lonedog's approach is built on the principle of growth and adaptability. If you're not open to challenging your current beliefs about your capabilities and trying new approaches, our program may not be the right fit for you.
The Stress-on-Stress Advocate
We don't believe in pushing you to your limits every single day. If you're looking for a program that encourages constant high-intensity workouts regardless of your body's state, our approach might not align with your expectations.
The Extreme Measures Enthusiast
If you're seeking quick fixes through extreme diets or punishing workout regimens, Lonedog's balanced, scientifically-backed approach may not be what you're looking for.
We love ya, but it’s not going to work...
