When I first signed up to being an exercise program after many years of sitting at a computer with little to no exercise, I knew I had to find myself a trainer. I had started and stopped previous programs over the years because I didn't know how to pace myself and to add and subtract various routines. So I always ended up quitting. Now that I was retired, I wanted to really set up something I could sustain, not just at the gym, but at home as well.

Then I found Meghan. She was very skilled at asking the necessary questions to determine where my fitness level was, what my eating habits were, and my health goals. She really listened to my story and through a shared process we were able to begin with a program that I took to immediately.  It was slow and steady and I paid attention to what my body was doing and "saying" and I could see that although the steps were small, they were very effective. This has continued throughout our training process. I have been able to gradually adjust my program as I got stronger and more confident with her encouragement and training, and I always left our sessions feeling good about myself. Often I am not able to get to the gym, but I never worry about that because Meghan helped me set up a program that I could continue with in my home and it is very effective. And because of her encouragement and her ability to keep me focused, I now know I can continue to keep myself strong and healthy as long as I make the effort.

I am very grateful to have found Meghan. She is fun, thoughtful and knowledgeable. And she always has her clients' best interests in mind.
