23. Stories From Sioux Falls: Megan Assman - Developing a Healthy Mindset Around Physical Fitness
Joining me on the show today is my very own personal trainer, Megan Assman! During isolation, I’ve had the opportunity to attend a few of her classes virtually and since visiting Sioux Falls have finally had the chance to meet her in person. We discuss her unique journey within the health and fitness industry, coming from an extensive background in politics, and what she hopes to achieve at her company, ‘Mega Strong.’
It’s so important, particularly now, to focus on our physical and mental wellbeing, and having the right mindset going in is crucial in achieving the results we desire. Megan shares how her tough coaching style has played a role in helping her clients build on this mentality, why she has worked so hard to foster a sense of community in her sessions, as well as her insights into clean eating and nutrition.
