Bio

Hi, I’m Meaghan, owner of Shifted Fitness.  I began instructing fitness in 2007 after moving back to the desert when I graduated college.  I fell in love with helping people to become more fit and healthy and after five years of personal training and teaching group fitness, I decided to pursue my Masters Degree in Sport and Recreation Management at the University of Tennessee.  In 2012, while in Tennessee, I discovered CrossFit and never looked back.

My athletic career began as a competitive gymnast, then transitioned to cheerleading which led me to cheering in college for San Diego State.  When I discovered CrossFit, it allowed me to feel like an athlete again and be competitive in something which was an amazing feeling.  I competed at my first Regional CrossFit competition in 2012 on a team and then again on a team in 2013.  I switched to competing individually at the Regional level in 2014, 2015 and 2018.  In 2016 I had the amazing privilege of competing at The CrossFit Games on Team Invictus!!  After reaching the pinnacle of my athletic career I decided to purchase Shifted Fitness and focus more on coaching rather than competing.

Now that I am a retired competitor, I enjoy being a gym owner, a wife, and a mother to my three year old triplets, Mila, Kai, and Kalani.  Maybe one day I will get back to the competition floor and show my kids what their Mama is made of.  Until then, my main goals are to lead by example for my children and for all of the members in the gym.
