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...
