Fitness to optimize hormonal health & longevity
Welcome Clients of Dr. Geri Jones
Become Unbreakable
Studies show, heavy resistance training twice a week saw significant improvements in spinal bone density and reduced fall risk. And, it doesn’t just slow the decline—it can actually build bone. Heavy lifting also reduces every major health risk from heart disease to cancer.
Look Better Naked
When hormones shift, women need to shift their workout emphasis as well. Doing what you used to do simply doesn't work. But the right exercise routine will reshape your body. Stop wasting hours on workouts that don't build lean muscle and shed body fat. I'll teach you how to optimize your results so you look good naked and in your clothes.
Regain Your Spark
Low energy and mood are 2 common symptoms for women 35+. The good news: lifting heavier weights & doing high intensity power-based workouts improves your brain function so you have reduced brain fog, improved memory, ability to concentrate, reduced anxiety, irritability & depression. Ultimate Result = get your mojo back and energy up!
Hi! I'm Shannon, your perimenopause/post-menopausal Master Personal Trainer. For over 30 years, I've trained thousands of women just like you -- struggling with unwanted weight gain, fatigue, demotivation and loss of self-confidence that often starts in midlife and continues throughout the decades. And at age 52, I've personally experienced it. Women are told "that's just the way it is now", and lose hope. Wrong!
THERE'S NO AGE LIMIT ON THRIVING
I guarantee you CAN improve body composition, lose fat, build bone density, gain lean muscle, and feel more like you again!
As a 3x Ironman World Championship finisher, I know it takes more than just a cookie cutter exercise program to get results. THRIVE fitness clients learn a wholistic way of training, eating, and thinking to enhance your hormonal health.
The Facts ...
The Good News...
HEAVY WEIGHTS
If you want real results, it’s time to lift heavy. That means weights so challenging you can only manage 4–8 reps. This builds lean muscle, burns belly fat, and reshapes your body. Think beef jerky muscles (strong + dense) vs. cotton candy fat (fluffy + puffy).
POWER BASED CARDIO
Short, explosive bursts have big fat-burning payoff.
We’re talking 10–30 seconds of all-out efforts, 4–8 rounds.
Sessions are quick. 20 to 30 minutes max. Delivers serious results.
Bonus: women who train with power lose more belly and deep visceral fat. Yes, really.
EAT MORE PROTEIN
Most women eat half the protein they actually need. That’s a problem. Without enough protein, muscle quality drops, and fat creeps up. Sound impossible to fix? Not with our THRIVE protein strategies.
Change your mindset, change your meals — and you’ll never go back.
Happy Clients
"Shannon has truly changed my life. I started working with her about a year ago after attending one of her women’s fitness presentations. I thought how much difference could a 30 minute session, twice a week make? I have lost 10 lbs, my strength and balance is better than ever for my age, and my spirit and self confidence has improved. Life is good. Thank you Shannon. 💪🏻 Girl Power"

"I started going to Shannon with a small group of friends last year. As soon as I saw results (which was pretty quickly) I added a solo day. It’s hard work, but so rewarding. My 70 year old body now has some really nice muscles… when I wave, my arms don’t jiggle anymore. I love wearing sleeveless tops! Shannon herself is amazing; so strong, so knowledgeable. Most importantly, she is always aware of a person’s limitations and goals. If anyone can make weight training fun, it would be her. She makes you STRONG."
