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.

CSC Sweatiest Angel - June 2016

Congratulations to Lizabeth Lukesic on winning CSC's Sweatiest Angel award for the month of June! The Sweatiest Angel award is given each month to a CSC member who displays significant work ethic, a willingness to support others and a true sense of camaraderie inside the gym.  Not only is Liz always smiling and showing a positive attitude but she has also made some done some tremendous work lately - posting faster times in WODs, using heavier weight than she ever has and improving greatly at many skills. Just as she says, you get out of it what you put in, and Liz works her ass off. How long have you been doing CrossFit? I started doing CrossFit-like workouts four years ago and joined CSC in July of 2014. What do you do when you are not at CSC? When I am not at CSC I enjoy spending time outdoors with my posse or experimenting in the kitchen. When did you realize CrossFit was for you? When I realized the amount of physical and mental strength required. Everyd...

CSC Sweatiest Angel - February 2016

Congratulations to Dan Cronin on winning CSC's Sweatiest Angel award for the month of February! The Sweatiest Angel award is given each month to a CSC member who displays significant work ethic, a willingness to support others and a true sense of camaraderie inside the gym. How long have you been doing CrossFit? I have been doing CrossFit for the past 8 months. What do you do when you are not at CSC? I am a senior accounting major and economics minor at Case Western and work part time as a bartender/ server at The Jolly Scholar. I love playing sports and staying active. I just finished my final season of football and plan on coaching next year. Any time I have left after my studies and work is split between my girlfriend and CrossFit and trust me my girlfriend will tell you its never enough. When did you realize CrossFit was for you? I realized CrossFit was for me when my friend challenged me in Fran. After the workout I couldn't get enough. I looked for a...

From The Eyes of a PT - Knees

Introduction   Over the years, we CrossFit coaches have noticed many behavioral trends among our athletes. One of the most common trends we see involves their willingness to take to heart our opinions on building strength, increasing range of motion (mobility) or healthy eating.  We are often seen as experts in these fields thanks to thousands of hours of real world practice and learning.  However, one of the areas that we often get scoffed at is that of injuries, whether they are the nagging or serious variety.  We’ll be the first to admit that we are certainly no experts in this area of health and wellness as we have never received a sports medicine or physical therapy degree, nor practiced as a licensed physical therapist.  Having said that, through the years we have come to develop a pretty good instinct for when athletes are pushing too hard and entering the window of overuse injuries.  Unfortunately, our words of wisdom oft fall on deaf ears. ...
