Experience: Megan has over 20 years in Healthcare and 18 years in Fitness. One of her training approaches is having individuals learn body awareness, using stabilization exercises to create a strong core. She believes overall health should be applied inside and outside of the gym carrying over into everyday functional activities.

Hobbies/Interests: My interests and hobbies are Performance Training and Competitive Powerlifting. I have a passion for learning and trying new things that challenge me mentally and physically. I enjoy being able to travel for seminars and opportunities to train with and by some of the world's bests in their sport, from 4-time Figure Olympia Champion Nichole Wilkins, and 5 of USAPL/IPF World Record holders and Gold Medal Winners of the IPF World Games. I’ve most recently met with and trained w/ Chad Wesley Smith founder of Juggernaut Training and also with the team at Kabuki Strength Labs. Traveling with my family, spending time outdoors in my gardens and serving God also keep this girl happy!
