Miles with Misty Coaching
Misty’s expertise and innovative approach led to the expansion of Fleet Feet training programs nationwide, where she played a pivotal role in designing the Fleet Feet Sports training program and the coach certification program across the country. In 2014, Misty launched her own fitness venture, Miles with Misty, in Crown Point, Indiana, which later evolved into MWM Fitness. At MWM Fitness, Misty continued to inspire and guide athletes of all levels with personalized training programs, weight loss initiatives, Vo2 Max testing, and wellness programs, in addition to offering group fitness classes and personal training for runners. After closing MWM Fitness, Misty brought her coaching talents to Orangetheory Fitness in Crown Point and Dyer, Indiana, and later to STRIDE Fitness in Crown Point, where she played an instrumental role in launching and growing the program. Throughout her career, Misty has managed group fitness class programs, trained and mentored fellow coaches, and provided continuous support to her online fitness coaching athletes. After the creation of The Runner’s Corner Community, Misty was inspired to revive Miles with Misty in 2024. She realized that it was within Miles with Misty that her true passion lies—helping runners on a more personal level, offering individualized support, and building a strong community that focuses on both fitness and personal growth. Miles with Misty is the culmination of Misty’s extensive experience, passion, and dedication to helping runners of all levels. Her work embodies over two decades of love and commitment to creating a welcoming and supportive community for runners, offering customized running plans, virtual personal training, and expert guidance on running, fitness and injury prevention. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced athlete, Misty is committed to helping you achieve your goals with her motto, “1% Stronger Every Day!”
