My coaching philosophy

I believe in a holistic, empathetic approach to training that honors both body and mind. Movement is more than just exercise—it’s a way to build strength, confidence, and resilience. With over 20 years of dance experience, I blend strength training, mobility work, and mindful movement to create sessions tailored to your unique needs. I meet you where you are, challenge you with care, and help you move with purpose. My goal is to empower you to feel strong, capable, and connected to your body in every aspect of life.

Testimonials


Otto (in-person client)

“Megan is a truly great trainer. In addition to being deeply knowledgeable, tailoring workouts to specific needs, and providing guidance for continued work outside of our sessions, she is also extremely reliable, consistently on-time, communicative, and on top of the logistics. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s by far the best trainer I’ve ever worked with…”
