Megan Susnjara
Growing up, Megan always loved being active - from school sports, going for runs, going to the gym, going hiking, or taking the dog on a walk. Studying human physiology at the University of Oregon got her even more excited about it, and after moving from Beaverton to Bend in 2018, she decided she wanted to get involved in helping others be active as well. Fast forward to now, and she's been coaching group fitness classes for over 6 years and absolutely loves it.
Her goal is to bring the energy, excitement, fun, and challenge to every class. She is passionate about supporting others in moving their bodies and watching them achieve more than they thought they could in a safe and supportive environment!
