Meredith is a native of West Virginia who found her passion for exercise and wellness at a young age through sports. Throughout her youth and college career, she competed in various sports, but it was during college that weightlifting and exercise took on a deeper meaning. She realized the profound impact they had—and continues to have—on her mental health, sparking a lifelong commitment to fitness. In her early 20s, Meredith began teaching, training, and educating clients, helping them discover the transformative power of movement and proper nutrition. Her career evolved into management and, eventually, ownership of her own studio, where she continues to empower others on their health journeys. "Teaching and educating clients will always be a passion of mine. It is incredible to witness the mental, physical, and emotional changes that happen with just a little exercise and the right nutrition."

In my free time, I’m busy raising three young adults and doing my best to teach them the value of health and how to make it a natural, lasting part of their everyday lives. As a family, we embrace an active lifestyle—we hike, camp, canoe, swim, read, and spend as much time outdoors together as possible. I also have a deep love for running and regularly compete in road races and trail runs across the U.S., always looking for new challenges and adventures.

Sports and physical activity have always played a major role in Christian’s life. After graduating from Centreville High School, he attended the University of Louisville to study criminology and continue playing football. A series of injuries ended his playing career but introduced him to sports physiologists, trainers, and coaches—sparking a passion for athletic performance and rehab. Motivated by this new passion, he transferred to GMU to pursue a degree in Kinesiology and focus on learning how to maximize athletic ability while minimizing injury risk. Since then, he’s worked one-on-one with athletes of all levels and backgrounds. He spent a year coaching at his alma mater and began personal training soon after. His experience as an athlete and coach has shaped him into a well-rounded trainer with a deep understanding of sport-specific demands and client needs. He continues to push himself professionally, aiming to provide every client with the high-quality experience they deserve.

Aside from training, I enjoy spending time with family, going on hikes or bike rides, and cooking.

Tim was born and raised in Northern Virginia but spent time exploring the country, living out of a Dodge Grand Caravan for a year while traveling to nearly all of the lower 48 states. During that adventure, he rediscovered his passion for fitness, the outdoors, and living an active lifestyle. Inspired by those experiences, Tim dedicated himself to the study of exercise science and the pursuit of becoming the best coach and athlete he could be. He is passionate about helping others improve their strength, health, and overall quality of life through evidence-based training and personalized coaching. Tim combines his love of movement, education, and personal development to help clients achieve lasting results. Whether someone is new to fitness or looking to take their performance to the next level, he is committed to providing the guidance, accountability, and support needed to succeed.

In my free time, mountain biking and lifting weights are my passions, so if I'm not at Fitness Together, I'm likely out on the trail or at the gym. For rest, I like to read (currently committed to the monumental task of reading the entire *Wheel of Time* series), write horror and fantasy short stories, yell at the TV when my favorite hockey teams—the Capitals and Avalanche—are playing, and lose board games in spectacularly unsportsmanlike fashion.

For Nigel it started with soccer. As a kid he loved it, but was very skinny and was pushed around a lot. After a lot of frustration, he resolved to get stronger. When you start to lift weights for the first time in your life, you get rapid progress, we call these newbie gains. "When I started to see newbie gains that early on, I was very excited. While the improvement in strength and performance were thrilling, much more exciting to me was the boost in confidence off the field I received! I started walking up taller and feeling better about myself. As a kid who struggled with confidence and self-esteem, working out became priceless to me." "I now get to teach what I have learned at Fitness Together. I take great satisfaction in being in this role that can make a small difference in someone's life."

In my free time, I like to read, take photos, play with technology and attempt to lift heavy things.
