  • Megan

    FOUNDER

    Megan was a competitive dancer up until college and eventually got into health and fitness in all of the wrong ways. She developed disordered eating and exercise habits that lasted most of 2019-2020 until she sought help from her loved ones and made a positive change. In February of 2021, she decided that she wanted to become a personal trainer to help others from falling down the same rabbit hole and provide simple and effective guidance for beginners in the *intimidating* gym. She moved to NYC and worked at a corporate gym for the next year. She took a leap of faith and began her own independent training business. Megan created the Coastal Strength Collective as a way to provide a safe, accessible, and welcoming space for beginners in the gym, both in NYC and San Diego.
