Shannon Cornell is a buzzing socialite who loves to set the competitive stage alight with her dropdead gorgeous physique and her sparkling personality.
She rolls in a close-knit group of friends where she now lives in Durban and she’s fiercely loyal. And she carries that passion and ferocity into the gym for every training session.
What would you say is your biggest flaw?
I’m always running late.
What’s the secret to your up-beat personality?
I have the ability to laugh at myself and I generally don’t take things too seriously. I also constantly push myself to be a better person.
Have you always been an active person?
I was an avid swimmer at school but found my love for the fitness industry once I had left school and started working.
What sparked your interest in the competitive fitness industry?
An old friend of mine encouraged me to compete, which I did for the first time in 2012.
What do you do for a living?
I currently distribute South Africa’s most innovative topical fat burning gel called Sculpt and the L-Carnitine injectable called Carnaject, one of the secrets to staying in shape all year round.
