It has been a pleasure working out once weekly with Meghan following a left wrist fracture. I was referred to Meghan as a certified Osteofit trainer as I, like many women of my age, have osteopenia, and I have had multiple fractures over the years despite being active with cycling, paddling and skiing. My goal was to increase my core and overall strength, which would have the added benefit of improving my bone density. However my body overall thanks Meghan! At age 66 years, I had had bothersome neck pain and reduced mobility of my neck for well over a year. Quite miraculously, after a couple of weeks of training I realised that my neck pain had gone and has not recurred! I find that I am [...] lifting increasing weight with absolutely no discomfort.

As both a client and a physician who has worked with patients with neuromuscular diseases throughout my career, I would highly recommend Meghan as a personal trainer for an exercise enthusiast, but as well for someone who is less fit with an issue with neck, shoulder or low back pain or possibly a recent or remote injury. Meghan has the skills and experience to work with the mechanical issues contributing to the pain, and design an exercise directed program to recovery. I personally feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Meghan in my recovery from an injury.

I booked Meghan for personal training sessions and was pleased with what we were able to accomplish in a short period of time. Meghan is very knowledgeable and perceptive, and was able to customize and prescribe the right exercises for my condition. I had been living with frozen shoulder issues and tendonitis for quite some time, and I had very specific sport-related needs. Thanks to Meghan, I have been steadily recovering from my loss of strength and flexibility, and have noticed weekly improvement. We also worked on core strength, balance, and alignment, which kept me strong throughout a recent multi-day event and feeling better than participants who were younger than me!
