Mary Perkins, surface fitness parent
Surface Fitness is a wonderful place for kids. My kids have attended several winter, spring, and summer camps. Each camp/week has a unique theme and the kids loved it all! My kids also go to the regular fitness classes — they are a good mix of fitness, nutrition education, and fun active games. Mrs. Shannon and her staff create an excellent environment where kids build confidence and healthy habits. We are so lucky to have such a gem in our community!
Josette Jaramillo, surface fitness parent
My daughter has been taking classes here since she was 4 (she is now 7) and my son just started (he is 3). They absolutely love it. I’m so happy I found this place! My kids have fun getting a great workout. My daughter also attends the summer camps, which she loves. Shannon and Jacqueline are very professional. My kids love them. The scheduling is the same system that is used for other fitness places (such as the Pilates classes that I go to elsewhere). Very easy. I have never had any issues with scheduling. I can’t recommend this place enough

Shannon Schroeder, surface fitness parent
Shannon Pondella and surface fitness has provided much need support for the health and well-being of the students at my school. As a middle school principal, many of my students look to Shannon and her team, to provide safe and targeted athletic support for both boys and girl, to enhance their performance in their team sports and club teams. Their dedication to students and their pursuit of good health and athletic excellence is a wonderful service to our children in this community.
Dr. Livingston, Principal of Rosemont Middle School
Shannon has been indispensable to our school. She has volunteered numerous hours to ensure that our students are getting a well-rounded, rigorous and FUN workout during their PE time. Her business, surface fitness, is wildly popular with our families, from parents to their children, and is a wonderful addition to our community. I can’t recommend Shannon enough!

Nick Martin, age 12
surface fitness is awesome; my favorite part of working out is the plank!
Reece Corlett, Age 7
Shannon/surface fitness provides conditioning to our son and daughter in the off-season from football and soccer. We find when our children are physically challenged they are more focused in all aspects of their lives! We couldn’t do it without her!
Chris and Kristy Corlett, surface parents
surface fitness was really hard today because I was really pushing myself!
CJ Corlett, Age 10
With the ability to combine lessons in healthy eating habits with physical exercise, Shannon brings out the best in our students.
Janie Roach
Shannon is fun, enthusiastic, and engaging. I’m always impressed with the creative and fun ways she gets the children to workout without them even realizing they are exercising. My students always look forward to seeing her each week and get a great workout every time.
Tara Patton, GUSD Teacher
We absolutely love having Shannon come to Fremont and work with the second graders! Every week she has fun and new centers for the students to try. They truly do get a work out as Shannon ensures that they are working a different part of their body and/or mind at each station. Shannon also includes a great stretching/ warm up routine so everyone is ready to go! The students truly look forward to Monday mornings with Shannon and are always eager to see what she has planned!
Mallory Kane, 2nd Grade teacher, Fremont Elementary School
Miss Shannon is always so positive and energetic with our students! She creates fun lessons that keep the students engaged and active while they are at PE. Ranging from warm-ups, to obstacles courses, yoga, vegetable and fruit tag, to cooperative team games…she does it all! We look forward to a new and exciting lesson with Miss Shannon every week!
