Shannan Ponton
Welcome to the new fan blog for Shannan Ponton
Shannan Ponton is back!!!
For those that have missed out so far, we are into another season of the awesome hit show ‘The Biggest Loser’. If you missed the episodes so far you can head to watch the previous episodes: http://www.thebiggestloser.com.au/home.htm
Back for another season as one of the trainers is my friend and awesome guy Shannan Ponton.
I have had the pleasure of being a friend with Shannan Ponton for the last three years, when I had contacted him to see if he was available to come as a special guest to my Succeed Personal Development Charity Gala Ball, to assist us in raising money for Camp Quality, Kids with Cancer. Of course he didn’t hesitate but to say “yer sure mate, no worries what is the date and I will be there”.
Which by the way was a fantastic night; we had an absolute blast and raised in excess of $15,000 for Camp Quality.
In recent months Shannan Ponton and I have spent some time together at various functions for clubs and charity events.
Although very hard to get a hold of, when we do it is great to spend some quality time together discussing the Biggest Loser show and where the fitness industry is heading in the future (I will post on this another time). I own and run the two time and current Australian Personal Training Business of the Year in Canberra. So it is great to talk to someone so passionate and like minded about the fitness industry.
Shannan Ponton like myself has a very laid back, relaxed, easy to get along with nature that showed through on a recent visit to Wagga. We spent several days together, where it regularly took us 30 minutes to walk 200m for lunch, as Shannan stopped for autographs and signatures every few metres. He was always very friendly and easy to approach, which was great to see.
We also went out on numerous occasions for Breakfast and here he is babysitting my beautiful daughter so I could eat breakfast:
P.S. I had to eat half of Shannan’s breakfast… he was only weeks away from filming at the time and needed to put on some quality muscle after a gruelling Kokoda trek and losing around 8kg.
His caring and nurturing nature really does show through in the Biggest Loser house with the contestants. We have already seen some of the contestants break down and Shannan and Michelle are both there to pick them straight back up and get them back on the band wagon again.
Here is a clip on what Shannan Ponton had to say about the show:
With over fifteen years experience in the fitness industry, Shannan Ponton the right man for job to assist and guide the contestants through some of the many challenges they will face in The Biggest Loser house.
Stay tuned for some variety to the contestants training in 2010. Shannan is very innovative with the latest exercise techniques that incorporate interval training, resistance training, boxing, spin and kickboxing. Shannan I am sure will be incorporating many and varied fitness activities for the contestants to undertake whilst in the Biggest Loser House.
Be sure to subscribe to this site and return often as I will regularly post and blog about what is happening with Shannan and the Biggest Loser House.
I will even see if I can get him to do a live interview for me??
Stay tuned Shannan Ponton fans…..
