With over 25 years of experience in gymnastics, including competing as a Division 1 gymnast at Temple University, Meala has dedicated her life to fitness. Her passion for health and movement extends beyond her own training—She has coached many gymnasts at all levels and led summer camps, while also working as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor.
Meala holds a degree in Exercise Science from Temple and certifications in both Group Fitness and TRX training. Driven to help others build strength and improve mobility, Meala wants to share her passions for strength and movement with others so they can continue to move with ease and confidence throughout their lives.
​
Meala felt that creating this new space became vital—not just for herself, but for everyone. Her mission is to continue what she started: to build strength, improve mobility, and help people feel good in their bodies for life.

“I believe that when we move well, we live well—and when we do it together, we thrive." — Meala
