Hello, I'm Megan—a Columbus, Ohio native with an unyielding passion for inspiring fitness, health, and wellness within our community.
My journey into the world of fitness began early at the age of 3. Though my athletic pursuits initially led me to gymnastics, an 18-year commitment that saw me rise to several Ohio All-State statuses, participate in USAG regionals and nationals, and attain 2x NCGA All-American recognition in college, fate had a different plan for me.
A major and unforeseen fall off the uneven bars during competition in my junior year altered the course of my life. At a time when I was already grappling with several personal challenges —8-hours away from home in college, discovered a heart arrhythmia, and the recent loss of my mother to non-Hodgkins Lymphoma while balancing gymnastics and collegiate academics—I found myself facing a severe and debilitating injury of the knee, back, and hip which demanded multiple surgeries. This caused me to miss medical entrance exams, application periods, and completed defeated me. This pivotal moment forced me to reflect on my aspirations, redirecting my path from a desired career as an orthopedic surgeon to a career in emergency medical services. However, I always knew in my heart that exercise and sport science would be a major part of my life no matter what career path I selected.
At the time of the fall, I was a college EMT responder, knowing it would look great for medical school. But after my injury and being a 911 patient myself, I gained a fresh perspective on healthcare, and my commitment to the field grew stronger. With a degree in Exercise and Sport Science, coupled with pre-med and Spanish studies, I transitioned into a career in EMS, driven by a desire to combine my parents' legacies in nursing and law enforcement (medicine + lights and siren).
From rural Pennsylvania to the coastal beaches of Clearwater/St. Petersburg and Ohio, I've served in various roles within 911 EMS systems, evolving into an EMS instructor, Paramedic, Field Training Officer, and Operations Supervisor. I even got dually licensed as a registered nurse. Since 2015, I've contributed in various fulltime roles to the National Registry of EMTs, the national certification body for EMS.
Yet, life's nudges persisted, urging me to do more, be more, and make a greater impact in the community I serve. Armed with the background in gymnastics, Exercise Sport Science, a Master’s in Business Management and Leadership, and nursing degrees, I became determined to lead by example. My personal battle with deconditioning, weight gain, and the erratic schedules in EMS led me to realize I needed to make a change for my own health, after personally seeing how sick people can be when they don’t care for themselves. I turned the focus on myself, went to the gym, meal prepped, and through dedication and discipline, I shed over 50 lbs. I acquired certifications as a trainer, nutritionist and nurse coach, and delved more into lifestyle medicine.
Eager to share my journey, I started an online nurse coaching and nutrition program, guiding others towards holistic well-being and reduce chronic health conditions. But the call for a broader yet more local impact led me to Fit Body Boot Camp—a community that aligns with my values. Now, alongside my dedicated team, we're experienced and ready to use nutrition and fitness to transform lives right here in Central Ohio.
