"Wrappin' Up 2020 With a BIG Bow!"

Jan 10

"Wrappin' Up 2020 With a BIG Bow!"

It's been a hot minute, such a hot minute that we have left 2020 and have now entered 2021. As I type this, I reflect on what a blur 2020 has been, but also, what lessons and blessings it has brought! Every year we start out with this vision of what our year is going to look like. We write it down, create a vision board and strive to work towards new goals. Perhaps we start out strong, maybe too strong and eventually we lose focus. Maybe we start out at just the right pace

FORE Fun

Summer at Mad Shannon's Phit Shed has brought us a slight change of pace and a chance to step outside our comfort zone trying new things and bringing back old activities that we used to enjoy. While we are missing just a couple members of our Squad, we have welcomed new faces and look forward to seeing our fellow Squad members return in time! Last winter the Squad took a roll with the bowling balls at the Cadott Bowling Alley in a few games of bowling supporting the Cadott Fi

CLEAR AS MUD

CLEAR AS MUD

It's hard to believe 60 days have passed since we've officially been placed on, "lock down". I look back at the last two months and wonder how that can even be possible. Did Spring just pass us by and did we accomplish all we set out to do with some extra downtime? I walked back into the gym this week to start softly opening my business. It was exciting in all aspects. I greatly appreciate all my clients who supported me during this time, whether it was virtual training, onli

Pursuit of Happiness COVID-19

Pursuit of Happiness COVID-19

On Tuesday, March 24th, 2020 I somberly walked out of Serenity Fitness with a heavy heart and a racing mind. I really hoped we were going to be able to continue our Small Group and Personal Sessions a bit longer, however COVID-19 had different plans for us. Many of my clients had begun working from home. Some found this to be great while others struggled. The one thing all of my clients could agree upon was coming to sessions at Mad Shannons Phit Shed to see familiar faces, t

Spring into SHED

Spring into SHED

It’s here. March. We survived January, made it through February and now we're springing into March! The weather is giving us spring fever as the birds chirp, the sunshine hits our faces and the snow begins to all melt away. But, we all know we will be seeing that one last big snow storm mid March! Since the last SHEDLog, there have been some fun changes at MSPS and also a super fun event. (See what I did there with the “FUN”) First off, let’s talk about the MadBOWL event o

MADness 2020

MADness 2020

Is anyone from the era of Mad Dog 20/20 thinking this is the year? Or maybe you are thinking back to the memories of the bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 getting passed around the bonfire at the High School party where nobody cares whose germs were on that thing? After all, you were there to party! Honestly, Mad Dog 20/20 was the first thing that popped into my mind when thinking about the title for this blog. Why? Memories. It really has nothing to do with what this blog about, but

Happy Holidays from MSPS

Happy Holidays from MSPS

As we close in on December, and the Holiday Season I reflect on the amazing year we've had at Mad Shannon’s Phit Shed. We did a Marathon (ok not really, but 5 miles was a tough one!), hosted our first annual Memorial Day Smash raising money for a local Veteran to get started at MSPS, attended our first outside event promoting MSPS, hosted bring a buddy day where everyone brought their best friends for some fun, added new classes such as MadFIT and FridayFIT, had the best end

That's a Wrap!

That's a Wrap!

Imagine what you were doing 16 weeks ago. Perhaps enjoying some sunny weather, boating, outdoor festivities that include bbq’s and cocktails. All things we enjoy through these short months of summer. 16 weeks ago brings us to Saturday, July 12, 2019. We just celebrated the 4th of July, we maybe even were at Country Jam or Rockfest. Push ahead to 12 weeks, that puts us at August 10, 2019. You are probably wondering why I am referring to these dates, and using a 16 and 12

A Day at the Fair

A Day at the Fair

My very first “professional” job was the Marketing Director at the Eau Claire Indoor Sports Center. Granted I was 30 years old and just really getting started on my Career path, I had various jobs up until the point of my return to school to obtain my degree, but that’s a whole other story! As the Marketing Director, my tasks included attending various events and promoting the ECISC. One of the first events I worked at solo was the Eau Claire Chamber Business Expo, which is h

Mirror Mirror

Mirror Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall...oh that nursery rhyme rings through our ears even as adults. Lately, I've been having the same conversations with many of my clients, what they see in the mirror is not what the world is actually seeing. We all do it. Stand there. Stare at our bodies, pick ourselves apart, wish we had this or that, pull at our stomachs, grab the flab on our arms, and not to mention the cellulite that shows up on the back of our legs! Have you ever taken a step ba

Sea of Green

Sea of Green

We prepared for this moment for months. Hours of grueling training and endless miles. The Cadott Marathon...oh, wait...what? A marathon? NO, not really, just a really long distance for those of us who are classified under the “Non-runner” category. Truth be told, running is simple. One foot in front of the other. A mile is a mile no matter how fast or how slow you go. It's summer. What’s not to enjoy the great outdoors, and if your body allows it, why not get out and hit

Summa not "Sometimes"

Summa not "Sometimes"

Summer. A whole whopping 3 months to “fit it all in”. But, does Summer leave you with snug pants and the guilty feeling that you lost your “summer body”? It is inevitable. We can't wait for summer to get here, and it's jammed packed every week, sometimes double booked, and pours into the week. We tell ourselves we are going to workout outside and put our gym membership on hold. Yet at the end of summer we find ourselves rushing back to the gym or looking for that quick fi

MSPS First Annual Memorial Smash!

MSPS First Annual Memorial Smash!

Memorial Day. What does it mean to you? Is it just a day off of work? Is it the first official weekend of camping in this great state? Is it the official kick off to summer? Memorial Day can be all of those things. However, Memorial Day is a day on which those who died in active military service are remembered This day is also a day we remember those around us who have passed. We also want to remember those who have served our country and also those who provide service

Welcome to the SHED Show!

May 14, 2019

Welcome to the SHED Show!

After almost 20 years in the making and a year and half of trial and error, today I sit here writing my first SHEDLog aka Blog. As I reflect on my past 20+ years in the industry, it does not feel like that long of a time. I have lost that girl that had different aspirations at 21- the girl who could party on a Tuesday night (keeping up with the boys throwing down the beers), work all day and do it all over again the next night. Am I sad? NO! I have changed for the better an
