Shannon Billows Fitness

Trigger warning: B*limiaWhilst Shannon is highly knowledgeable and has no doubt helped many people lose weight, I, unfortunately, regret investing considerable money into his service for four reasons:1. I was accepted as a client despite disclosing my struggles with B*limia (which is binge eating alternating with calorie restriction/calorie p*rging), without a medical clearance or, at the very least, further enquiry about my eating disorder and whether embarking on a restrictive diet would be conducive to my health and ED,2. I was provided very low calories to eat every day, despite already being within a healthy weight range and despite, as mentioned, actively struggling with B*limia,3. Upon prematurely pulling out of his program to focus on my ED recovery, I was met with little to no compassion, even after raising my concerns about his service with him. A partial refund would've been really professional considering he shouldn't have accepted me as a client in the first place and considering how early I pulled out, but he was very quick to say goodbye. In my experience, he is kind and personable when you work one-on-one with him but rather dismissive if you challenge him on any level, and4. I found Shannon via TikTok because I was actively searching for ways to eat 1,000-1,200 calories a day to lose weight rapidly, and these videos (he has posted countless videos with the same sentiment for a long time) are distributed to the public with little to no disclaimers or trigger warnings. According to the comment section on his videos, I am not the only person who disagrees with his repetitive promotion of potentially dangerous ways of eating to the general public, especially on a social media platform like TikTok where millions of young and impressionable people are susceptible to being negatively influenced and affected by such content.I personally will not ever invest in another weight loss coach or service for obvious reasons, but if you are seeking a weight loss coach in Australia, then please be aware that there are coaches, weight loss services and nutrition/fitness programs that promote healthier and more evidence-based approaches to diet and long-term weight maintenance, and that do not contribute anywhere near as much to the increasing rates of eating d*sorders or prevalence of yoyo dieting.

I joined Shannon’s online 6 week challenge. I found his support and knowledge a huge help. He had a simple approach to weight loss and was easy to follow. Shannon always made time to answer any questions, concerns and gave me so much encouragement. Even when I had days that I struggled. The Facebook group he had was great too as others would share their experiences and we all kept each other motivated. After the 6 weeks I continued one on one as I felt training every week with Shannon gave me accountability.I couldn’t have lost without his help and support. Thanks Shannon!!!

Although we are on different continents, Shannon is a fabulous online coach. Ready and willing to answer in depth any questions and always offered tips or explanations to propel me forward with my weight loss. In my opinion, Shannon is one of the best coaches out there. If you’re serious about losing weight and getting fit, Shannon should be your go-to coach!

Shannon is a knowledgeable PT who listens carefully to what your goals are and helps you achieve them. He will motivate you, share experiences and give you the skills to be able to meet your goal. I highly recommend Shannon for anyone wanting to learn more about Heath/fitness and the world of weight loss.

I joined Shannon as a 1 to 1 client last year after completing a Lean in 6 program. It has been the best decision I have ever made!! I find Shannon offers an informative, helpful and sensible approach to weight loss. I have lost 18kgs in a year and I'm on the home stretch to lose the last 12kgs. Weight loss is hard and there are times I struggle and feel unmotivated but Shannon always provides support and advice no matter how good or bad a week I have had. The most impressive part of Shannons program (as I have tried other weight loss programs) is his constant and reliable weekly check in. If you're undecided on taking up the challenge to get rid of those excess kilos and change your life for healthiness and happiness, then Shannon won't disappoint! You will lose weight if you follow Shannon's program! It works!!!!

Shannon is a great online coach. His program is simple but effective, and he never leaves you feeling overwhelmed or pressured in any way. The biggest thing he offers you is accountability (which I was seriously lacking before working with him). He gives consistent and honest feedback and motivation throughout your journey. I had fallen way off track on my weight loss journey (on my own) and signing up with Shannon was the jump start I needed. I highly recommend him to anyone struggling to meet their goals on their own, he’s the secret ingredient you need to reach your goals.

As someone who has tenure in both diet and exercise, I can sincerely say that Shannon is by far one the best coaches out there.It is clear this isn't just a job to him. He is as invested in your health as you are, and has the knowledge and experience to back it up.I have received help from Shannon over the years in various ways, whether it be casual online coaching to full on PT, or just checking in every now and then to talk about goals, performance, or something as simple as form check.He can be no frills and down the line, but has a diversified enough approach that he can be as intensive as you want him to be - all the whilst sticking to logical and achievable mantras on health, diet, and exercise.Most reviews are stellar, and those that aren't - I'd put my money on them being the issue. Shannon won't tell you what you want to hear. He will tell you what you need to hear (albeit with a smile and hug).
