Megan is one of our CrossFit coaches at CrossFit Sixth City and can be found running classes throughout the week at lunch, some evenings and the weekends. As much as anyone we have ever seen, she gets real joy out of seeing her athletes succeed and get stronger both physically and mentally.

She coaches because she loves helping others. She believes seeing personal and physical growth in another person is one of the most satisfying things you can experience and knowing that you are a part of that change is an exceptional feeling. She also really loves being at the gym. Like all the time!

Megan has her Bachelors degree in the Science of Nursing from University of Akron, is currently obtaining her Master's in the Science of Nursing, Nurse Educator from Cleveland State University and has her National Certification in Medical-Surgical Nursing, CPR/First Aid, Basic Life Support and is a CrossFit Level 1 Coach.

When she was younger her father pushed her to play a sport every season, but Megan mostly took to softball, soccer and basketball through high school. Prior to CrossFit, she spent some time training as a runner including marathons. But since 2012 Megan has been doing CrossFit and competing competitively for the last couple years. She is proud that since doing CrossFit she has been able to run a half marathon with significantly less training than before.

She didn't always want to be a nurse and fitness coach. When she was a kid Megan wanted to be a cook and a photographer. Now she posts a lot of pictures of her food.

We will also address the common concerns we hear from beginners. I have to get into better shape before I start CrossFit. I feel bad saying this but sometimes this statement makes us laugh. Perhaps it is the frequency with which we hear it. CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program built on a few guiding principles (constantly varied, functional movement, at high intensity) and created to improve overall health, wellness and fitness. It is a fitness program. Some other fitness programs include Zumba, boot camps, etc. I don't say this to be condescending but to make the point that you probably wouldn't think about getting into shape to do Zumba. Likely, one would make the as
