My name is Shannon Litle and I am so excited to be a part of the coaching team at Franco Fitness! I’ve been an athlete in some capacity from the time I was 18 months old and my parents put me in gymnastics. My competitive gymnastics career lasted from elementary school until my senior year of high school, and I coached all levels of gymnastics from 2005-2015.

After high school, I tried springboard diving, competitive cheer and Bikram yoga to fill the void left by gymnastics. I finally found what I was looking for in 2015 after I graduated from the SRJC police academy and started CrossFit. I immediately fell in love with the sport: the challenge, the growth and the community it’s given me since then has been life changing.

I grew up in Petaluma and moved to Napa in early 2020 to call the valley home with my husband Jordan and my three stepchildren. We welcomed our son into the family as the final member of the Litle household in December 2022. The prenatal and postpartum journey was and continues to be a whole new experience for me and my athletic career, and I hope to help other mama’s at Franco navigate that journey as well.

I spent most of the last decade in law enforcement and first responders (and their mental health) have a very special place in my heart. I’m in the process of becoming a licensed therapist who specializes in helping cops and firefighters navigate work-related trauma. Regardless of your profession, I hope to inspire folks at Franco to achieve well-rounded, whole-human fitness: body, mind and spirit.

When I’m not at the gym you can find me spending time with my family, going camping, watching baseball, or wishing I was on the beach in Wailea, Maui.

I am passionate about helping others, so let’s get to work and accomplish hard things together!
