Today we’d like to introduce you to Megan Johnson McCullough.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Growing up the daughter of the winningest basketball coach in California high school history, sports were a no brainer for me. I received a full ride scholarship to play basketball in Denver, CO, then upon moving back home, I received my M.A. in Physical Education & Health Science. I wanted to follow in my dad’s footsteps and be a teacher and coach, however, jobs were and still are scarce for P.E.
The next best approach was personal training, so I did just that and worked the corporate route for several years. As the years passed, I earned various certifications which include being a NASM Master Trainer, AFAA Group Exercise Instructor, Corrective Exercise Specialist, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, Senior Fitness Specialist, and can teach Zumba, Aqua, Cycle, and Yoga. It was actually during the Yoga teaching training that I envisioned having my very own fitness studio.
Literally the next day, I called a landlord and made the thought a reality. Now, seven years later, I’m at the same location and have tremendously grown. While doing so, I have become a professional natural bodybuilder and am now in my 2nd year working on my Doctorate in Health & Human Performance.
Has it been a smooth road?
Owning a business is not a 9 to 5 job. To be successful, I’ve had to hustle work hard and pull 70 hour weeks. BUT I love it. It isn’t always easy to wear a smile every day, but I keep pushing to help others and reach as many lives as I can. I went from bored waiting for the phone to ring to now blessed to be busy.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Every BODY’s Fit – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
I offer both private one on one training and small group training. I specialize in weight loss and bodybuilding. I really enjoy working with the older population, and I create a culture of community encouragement and celebrating each other’s diversity.
I’m most proud of my welcoming environment that allows people to connect and share their experiences as they work to better themselves. Everyone has their story, but everyone comes to find their hour to work on their health and fitness goals. My approach is much more personalized, and it matters if you show up to the workout.
Otherwise, I will hound you. Accountability is key. I also help with nutrition and provide at home workout videos for homework.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and the least?
We live in the best climate ever. My studio is just five minutes from the beach, so no air conditioner is needed. The ocean breeze does the trick.
My clients know that we start the workouts by walking the surrounding hills with weights. We have the southern California sunshine on our side and can utilize the energic feeling that a little fresh air and vitamin D can offer.
