🔥 MEET COACH MEGAN! 🔥

🏋️ What programs do you coach at Halo?
I coach CrossFit at Halo.

⏱️ How long have you been coaching?
I’ve been coaching for a year (since June 2026).

💪 How long have you been training?
I’ve been training for 10 years (CrossFit since March 2016).

🏆 Favorite movement or lift?
Favorite lift: strict press (it humbles everyone!)

❤️ Favorite thing about Halo?
I learn something from everyone I talk to at the gym. Either something about that person, a lift, part of a workout, or random trivia!

🎺 A fun fact most people don't know about you?
I started CrossFit while pregnant so I understand the fine art of scaling and meeting yourself where you are that day.

🎯 Why do you coach?
I wanted to contribute to a community. I aspire to be the reason someone comes back, or tries something new and surprises themselves.

🔥 MEET COACH SAM! 🔥

🏋️ What programs do you coach at Halo?
CrossFit and Stretch class

⏱️ How long have you been coaching?
5 years

💪 How long have you been training?
10 years

🏆 Favorite movement or lift?
Not a movement, my favorite is round 1 of a WOD. I love most movements when we only do a handful of it.

❤️ Favorite thing about Halo?
The friendships and support that transcend the gym.

🎺 A fun fact most people don't know about you?
Been married 21 years, we’ve moved 9 times, including living in South Africa where I pet giraffes, lions, elephants, cheetahs, a baby jaguar, and a meerkat.

🎯 Why do you coach?
(One or two sentences max.) Coaching people who are showing up and putting in the time and effort is extremely fulfilling. When you’re open to trying new cues, scales or other suggestions I offer, it’s so rewarding to see you give it a try and if it helps get a new movement or PR, that shared moment of success is the greatest reward for me as a coach.
