Bio

Meggie's passion is fitness, and that passion shows through in her training sessions. Meggie has been working with thousands of clients for the past 14 years in transforming their bodies and lives. Meggie earned her Personal Training Certificate from World Instructor Training School, and a second certificate from National Academy Sports of Medicine. Meggie is part of a major Northwestern University clinical trial to demonstrate that exercise and diet can reduce side effects and improve the strength of men 50 to 80 years old who are being treated for prostate cancer. She is recognized as the fitness expert among the other nationally known doctors and scientists designing and conducting this trial. Meggie has also been volunteering for the past 3 years at Wellness Place in Palatine, IL that is part of the National Cancer Institute's SPORE (Specialized Program of Research Excellence) program. She has developed a unique and comprehensive fitness program specifically designed for prostate cancer patients ages 50 to 85 at Wellness Place. Her program is designed to motivate men to actively and regularly participate in physical fitness. The participants are highly motivated because of the variety of exercises during weekly classes, her professional trainer skill, attention to form and safety and her ability to have them push themselves to improve. Some of them have been attending for 2 years.
