New Instructor Spotlight: Meet Kathleen 💜

“Hi! I’m Kathleen, and I’m SO excited to officially be teaching Mat Pilates at MEGA!

I recently graduated from East Carolina University with my BFA in Dance Performance + Choreography. I grew up dancing, so movement has pretty much always been a huge part of my life. Pilates started as something that supported my dance training, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve fallen in love with it as its own practice—how it builds strength, body awareness and that mind-body connection.

In addition to completing MEGA’s Mat training + mentorship program, I’m currently continuing my Pilates education and working toward my Balanced Body certification. I’m excited to grow as an instructor and bring everything I’m learning into the studio.

One of the things I love most about MEGA is the intentionality behind the movement. There’s a reason behind the exercises, the sequencing, the music and even the smallest cues. Every instructor brings their own personality while still creating an experience that leaves you feeling stronger, more connected and maybe a little sweaty.😉

I can’t wait to bring my dance background, creativity and love of movement into my classes—and, most importantly, to get to know all of YOU”

Come move with me! 🫶🏼✨
🗓️Monday in Raleigh 9:30am
Tuesday in Cary 8:30am + 6pm

Welcome to the team, Kathleen! We’re so excited to watch this next generation of MEGA talent grow. 💚

We love a good selfie moment 🤳 buuut if we’re being honest: Taking phone calls, voice to text, videoing, etc. while class is in session has become increasingly distracting and is affecting the Mega experience.

Please help us keep the vibe 💚 We ask that you step out to the lobby if you truly need to be in your phone during class. And keep the selfies coming pre-and post class!

Thank you in advance
xo, Alicia + the mega team!

📣New Instructor Spotlight: Meet Hannah!
We just think the world of you and are so pumped to make it Mega-official.

“Hi 🙋🏼‍♀️ I’m Hannah! I’m originally from Gainesville Florida, but have lived in Raleigh for 7 years! I got my undergrad degree from UF and my MBA from LSU (SEC, it just means more!) I have the sweetest mini golden named Emmy, and love to play golf with my husband. My dream date is either drinking a cold glass of Savvy B on patio on a crisp fall day or reading an Elin Hilderbrand book while sitting on the beach.

Over a year ago, I was looking for a new fitness routine that fit my schedule and kept me wanting more after every class. I’ll never forget my first class with Alicia and how kind and intentional she was about welcoming me to the studio and making sure I had the best first workout at Mega. The following day, when my obliques were so sore it hurt to laugh, I knew I was hooked🤪 

I used to think the shakes meant I was weak, and now I’m so excited to be here to reassure you that those shakes don’t mean you’re weak, they actually mean it’s really working!”

New Instructor Spotlight 📣 Meet MADDIE.

We got so lucky with this one and it was love at first meeting! Her Megaformer classes are equal parts challenging + entertaining and she may even have you laughing through the shakes 😁

“Hey ya’ll! I’m Maddie and I’m originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I earned my undergraduate degree from LSU (geaux tigers!), and am currently pursuing my master’s degree to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I grew up dancing throughout high school, and in college I was a dance coach and a group fitness instructor. I discovered (and instantly fell in love with) Lagree over a year ago and knew it was something I was passionate about! 

I moved to Raleigh this past January, and I got married this May, so it’s been an exciting year of new beginnings! One of the first things I knew I needed to find after moving was a welcoming workout studio. That’s when I found MEGA, and I immediately fell in love—not only with the challenging workouts, but also with supportive community! MEGA’s energy and passion was exactly what I was looking for and I couldn’t be more excited to now share that with all of you! I can’t wait to encourage, challenge, and just have fun with you all!!”

📣 New Instructor Spotlight: Welcome Autumn! We’re so damn excited about this and it feels like you’ve been part of the team for years! 🍒

“Hi! I’m Autumn and I’m thrilled to be joining the MEGA team! I’m originally from south Florida, but have lived in the Raleigh area for 13 years now. I grew up dancing and found a love for group fitness while in undergrad at the University of Florida (Go Gators!)🐊
I previously taught barre for about 8 years. Since having my daughter and finding my way back to the group fitness world, I was so happy to find MEGA as a new and exciting challenge for myself and our community in Cary!
Professionally, I am a registered dietitian/nutritionist and love how the power of movement and good food combined can make you feel like your best self. I can’t wait to keep the vibes high in the studio and keep getting stronger with all of you!”
