Meet Megan
My Story
I have been working in the fitness industry now for 8 years, but pursing my love of fitness for 12 years+. I have always loved sport and exercise, I always loved PE and enjoyed doing ALL sport (I know this isn’t relatable for so many). But this is why I believe I do this amazing job, because I love it, it’s within my genetic make up and who I am – which is why I am so passionate about helping others to find the same love I have.
I graduated from the University of Northampton in 2016 with a degree in Sport Development, I went onto working in numerous sport development roles such as a Legacy Maker, Swimming Insight Officer and then an Activities and Community Manager. I really enjoyed these roles, I was out in the community meeting people, going to meetings with local businesses and authorities; it really gave me an insight into the different types of barriers associated with exercise.
Whilst doing this role I was heavily involved in my fitness training, getting up at 5am to train before work 5 days per week. My love for fitness was always number one, which is why I decided to take the leap of faith and in 2019 I qualified as a Personal Trainer. I began working with clients alongside my managerial roles before going self-employed in 2020 during lockdown. I set up my home gym in my garden and I have never looked back since.
I shortly after pursued my love in Life Coaching - coaching my clients not only through their exercise and fitness but their personal lives & mental health too. I became a qualified Life Coach in 2022 which hugely benefited my 1:1 session and supporting my clients beyond their physical goals.
During this time, I also got married to my husband Daniel and we began thinking about starting a family. I trained in Pre & Post Natal Exercise and became fully qualified in 2023 so that I had knowledge to support myself and all my clients during their pregnancies.
We unfortunately faced some difficulties with our fertility journey, with having an Ectopic Pregnancy and Miscarriage in 2022. I later fell pregnant again in 2023 with our son Hudson and now I am a proud first time Mummy. Which is when Mega Mums was born…………
My Vision
I started Megafit & Mega Mums with one mission, to improve the health and well-being of as many people & mums as possible: through personal training services, nutritional guidance, life coaching, fun classes and mindfulness support. A service designed to support the ‘whole’ person so that they can gain a life full of health, abundance, and prosperity.
I have been through struggles and faced many personal challenges such as, body dysmorphia, binge eating disorder, confidence issues, depriving my body of calories, all because I thought this would help control my weight. I was stuck, feeling as if I was never good enough, I was a victim of the bad habits the media fed us, with the perception of looking a certain way. I didn’t realise the importance of having a healthy mind, which can lead to wonderful things. Health is more than just exercise, I focus on the whole person, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually - because health is more than just the weight on the scales.
