Meghan has been a personal
trainer in Vancouver for 5 years, and has been involved in the fitness
industry for over 11 years. To Meghan, personal training is not just a job, it
is so much more. She has always been extremely passionate towards fitness,
sports, and helping people achieve their goals. Meghan is a firm believer that
the more you love your job, the more driven, inspired and successful you will
be, all of which will positively affect your clients.
Meghan has an extensive
athletic background, having played competitive
soccer for over 20 years at the Intercollegiate (UBC), Provincial, Metro, and
now at the Premier Women’s A level. Meghan also used to play competitive ice hockey and baseball,
as well as high school basketball, field hockey, and volleyball before she
decided to devote 100% of her attention to soccer.
In August of
2008, and also August of 2007 Meghan competed in
Femsport, her first fitness competition.
In both years her team finished first overall, and she placed 2nd overall out of 34
competitors in both the 2007 and 2008 competitions. Meghan plans on entering many more of these shows, and is
extremely passionate in helping other women train for shows of this nature. To

Columbia with a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Kinetics and a minor in Psychology,

successful personal trainer.

away from personal training, when she is not working she is always looking for
ways to enhance her knowledge and growth as a personal trainer. Meghan is
