Shannon's Web Site

Born: December 18, 1964
Height: Five foot eight
Weight: 150 pounds



Inspiring. Motivational. One of a kind. Smart. Strong. These adjectives apply to many of the athletes portrayed here at American Strength Legends, but never as well as they do to Shannon Hartnett. Shannon is a living highland games legend. She is the ultimate female highland games athlete, not only in the United States, but also in the world. In the past, she has been a bodybuilding champion, a professional whitewater guide, an accomplished kyacker and a starting member of the of the national champion fast pitch softball team. She has been seen giving away her medals and trophies to children in the audience in hopes to inspire them to do the best that they can do. However, to merely write off Shannon as a great athlete would be a shame.
She is a superior role model. She has a degree in marine biology specializing in the study of marine mammals. She also has a degree in exercise physiology and a masters in sports psychology. In addition, Shannon is a very active animal rights advocate. She donates much of her time caring for and helping heal abandoned pets and other animals. She also volunteers her time in food kitchens and homeless shelters. If this is not a busy enough schedule, she also owns a very successful gym in Samona County California called Body Central. It is a gym whose membership is only comprised of women to give them an atmosphere where they can feel free to work-out without being intimidated and not having to worry about what they look like. Finally, she is also a personal trainer. Simply put, she is a one of a kind inspiring, motivational smart and strong woman.
