SHOW NOTES:
In The Everygirl Podcast’s first physical wellness episode of the new year, Josie is sitting down with celebrity fitness trainer and founder of The Sculpt Society Megan Roup to talk all about working out. The episode begins with Megan sharing the story of how she found the world of dance-based fitness through a long journey of realizing how important it was to love the movement she was doing. Megan discusses some of the social and societal factors that complicated her relationship with her body during her first year of undergrad, plus how therapy and self-work led her back towards the world of dance. She explains her mission to work with women who are struggling with their relationships with their bodies and with movement to bring them to a place of feeling at home in their own skin. From there, the conversation turns to how Megan was first struck with inspiration for The Sculpt Society before she launched the company in 2017. Josie asks Megan to explain how she got the idea for creating such a unique workout, and Megan dives into what it was like to curate her own fitness class based on what she truly needed. The two have a conversation about the power of social media in formulating a fitness community like The Sculpt Society; Megan explains her philosophy of giving 110% to all of her clients, regardless of whether they have 10 followers on Instagram or they’re as famous as Miranda Kerr. Then, Josie turns the direction of the episode to the relationship between motivation and working out, especially during the colder months of the year. Megan shares her own tactics for remaining motivated as well as the tips she recommends for clients, and the importance of a full, supportive community in maintaining motivation to exercise. The two discuss the value of consistency over motivation throughout the year in pursuit of a sustainable lifestyle, and Megan shares some of her nutrition tips with regards to intuitive eating. The episode closes with Josie asking Megan to talk about her morning routine, and a few rapid-fire questions.
