I first connected with Meghan when I was looking for a trainer who could work with me on Olympic lifting while my regular trainer was away. I had some pretty sport-specific things I was looking for help in improving. Meghan agreed to meet with me to see if she could help me out or she would refer me to another trainer who could. I appreciated her openness to have a look and willingness to help me find the right solution I was looking for. During our first session together Meghan, watched my movements and quickly identified the area I needed to change and had been struggling to improve. For me it was a light bulb moment. I was not able to engage my diaphragmatic brace correctly and being able to do that was something that could change everything.

Meghan’s calm, relaxed style and openness to help you get where you want to go allows you to feel comfortable asking questions. As someone who had a very specific issue that I needed to work on, I appreciated the quickness that she was able to identify and find a solution that would give me the results I needed. I am finding that the changes that she has helped me make have had a really positive impact on my regular training program. I really don’t think it matters if you are just beginning to work out or experienced and have specific things you want to improve, Meghan’s knowledge and her attention to detail makes her someone I would highly recommend as a trainer.

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.
