About

Hi, I'm Meghan — a personal trainer who comes to you.

I coach adults across North Dallas in their homes, at local parks, and online. I started Fit with Meghan for the people who've been told fitness isn't for them — beginners, busy people, and anyone who's tired of starting over.

Why I do this

Most people who want to get stronger don't need a gym, a bootcamp, or someone shouting at them. They need a clear plan, a coach who actually pays attention, and a workout that fits into a real week — between school drop-off and a 9 a.m. meeting, or after the kids are in bed. That's the gap I built Fit with Meghan to fill.

I've watched too many capable adults decide they're "not a fitness person" because the only options on offer were intimidating. A crowded weight room. A class that assumes you already know what a hip hinge is. An app that sends notifications and nothing else. None of those are built for a beginner, and none of them are built around your life. My coaching is.

How I coach

Beginner-first. Every plan starts with a movement assessment, not a fitness test. I watch how you squat, hinge, push, pull, balance, and get up off the floor, and I build from there. Every exercise has an easier version and a harder one, so nothing is ever too advanced for where you are today.

Strength is the foundation. Whether your goal is weight loss, energy, or simply feeling capable, two or three well-coached strength sessions a week is the engine. I use kettlebells, dumbbells, bands, and bodyweight — everything fits in my car, and it's enough to take anyone from their first session to genuinely strong.

Habits over heroics. The session is one hour; the week is 168. I coach the two or three daily habits that move your goal — a step target, protein at breakfast, a bedtime — one at a time, until they stick. Weekly check-ins cover the week that actually happened, without judgment.

Honest, always. No guaranteed numbers, no before-and-after pressure, no "no excuses." If I think I'm not the right fit for you, I'll say so at the free consultation and point you somewhere better.

Where and how I train people

I'm a service-area trainer with no studio, on purpose. Sessions happen where they're most likely to actually happen:

  • In your home — living room, garage, backyard, or apartment. I bring all the equipment.
  • At a park near you — I list verified parks on every city page, from Oak Point in Plano to Bonnie Wenk in McKinney.
  • Online — a custom program, weekly check-ins, and live video sessions, anywhere.

My regular route covers Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Richardson & Carrollton. Read about each area on the service areas page.

Who I work with

Most of my clients are not athletes. They're women who want to learn to lift from a woman, busy professionals whose only free hour is 6 a.m., complete beginners, parents, and adults in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who want to stay strong and independent. If you recognize yourself in that list, we'll get along fine.

Credentials and standards

Personal training isn't state-licensed in Texas, so a trainer's certification and standards are what you should look at. I keep this section current, and I'm happy to show documentation at your consultation. My editorial and accuracy policy explains how I source everything I publish here — every statistic is cited to a primary source like the CDC or the U.S. Physical Activity Guidelines, and I never fabricate testimonials, results, or credentials.

I'm a personal trainer, not a medical provider or a dietitian. I don't diagnose or treat injuries, prescribe diets, or advise on medication — and I'll refer you to the right professional when that's what you need.

Let's talk

Every plan starts with a free, relaxed 20-minute conversation. Email me at hello@fitwithmeghan.com or use the contact form. I reply within one business day.
