Meet your coach

Hi, I'm Megan — the coach behind Elevate.

My own fitness journey is what inspired me to become a coach. I know first-hand that starting your fitness journey, staying consistent and feeling confident in your own skin isn't always easy. That's why I'm passionate about helping others discover what they're capable of and build a positive relationship with fitness.

I believe fitness is about so much more than losing weight. It's about becoming stronger, healthier and more confident, while creating habits that fit into your life. Whether you're new to training, returning after time away, or ready for a new challenge, I create personalised programmes around your goals, lifestyle and individual needs.

My coaching style is motivational, energetic and supportive. I'll challenge you, encourage you and celebrate your progress along the way. Most importantly, I believe in progress over perfection and making fitness something you enjoy, not something you have to punish yourself with.

What encourages & inspires me?

If you'd told me a few years ago that I'd be competing in HYROX and fitness competitions around the world, I honestly wouldn't have believed you.

I was always the "big girl" growing up, and for a long time I never thought I'd be able to lose weight — never mind feel comfortable and confident in my own skin. I know what it feels like to feel uncomfortable in your body and believe that certain things simply aren't possible for you.

I started strength training and completely fell in love with it. For two years, I focused on building my strength and learning what my body was capable of. Then I moved to Australia for a year, and that's where my passion for functional and hybrid training really grew.

What inspired me most was the community. Seeing people encourage one another, push each other through difficult moments and create a support system that could get anyone through almost anything showed me that fitness can be about so much more than exercise.

That's what I want to bring into Elevate.

I believe in keeping the basics of strength training, because they work. We build a strong foundation, then use that strength to move our bodies in functional ways that carry over into real life. It's about being able to move better, feel stronger and improve your quality of life — from everyday movements, to keeping up with friends, playing with your children, and having the confidence to say yes to more of what life has to offer.

Most of all, I want to inspire people — especially the younger generation — to see movement differently. Movement should never be a punishment. It's a privilege. It's something our bodies allow us to experience, explore and enjoy, and I want to help people find that feeling for themselves.
