“Megan and her team are genuinely the most knowledgeable coaches I've ever worked with. I'm stronger at 47 than I was at 30.”
Three ways to train, all coached, all personal.
Every member at Studio ME gets a dedicated coach, a program designed for their body, and a movement assessment to start. The only difference is how many people share the floor with you.
Private Training
The most personalized way to train. One coach, undivided focus, programming built around your body and goals.
- Custom program every session
- Best for injuries or specific goals
- Schedule built around you
Most popular
Semi-Private Training
Train with one or two others, each on your own program. Expert coaching, real community, and a lower price than 1-on-1.
- Up to 6 per coach
- Each person on their own program
- Most popular at Studio ME
Small Group Strength
Coach-led strength training in a small group. Real accountability, real coaching, not a class.
- Up to 15 per session
- Set weekly schedule
- Great way to start
Training for the long game.
Most gyms chase intensity. We build foundations. The ME Method is a structured, progressive approach to strength that keeps you getting stronger without breaking down.
Every program starts with movement quality. We add load only when your body is ready. The result: real strength gains that hold up for decades, not just for the season.
Read the full method- 01
Strategy Session
A 20-minute conversation about your goals, history, and what you want from training. No pressure, no pitch. Just a clear picture of where to start.
- 02
Movement Assessment
A coach runs you through a Kinotek movement assessment to find limitations, asymmetries, and capacity. Your program is built from what it finds, and it keeps updating as you improve.
- 03
Custom Roadmap
You get a programmed first 30 days tracked in Semi Private Pro, our in-studio platform. Your coach manages every progression, so their focus stays on coaching you, not paperwork.
A different kind of training studio.
We are not a chain, a boutique class, or a globo-gym. We are a coaching studio, and these are the things our members tell us made the difference.
You are never anonymous
Every member is on a coach-built program. We know your name, your goals, and what we worked on last Tuesday.
Progressive, not punishing
We add weight, complexity, and intensity on a deliberate curve. Hard work, not destruction.
Built around injuries
Old knee, cranky shoulder, post-partum: we coach around what your body needs, not in spite of it.
Recovery partner on-site
Dr. Logan Kovacs of Motion Forward PT works alongside our coaches. Rehab and training stay in sync, with no gap between "cleared" and actually being ready.
Schedule that fits adult lives
Early-morning, mid-day, and evening slots. Sessions are 45 minutes, built for people with jobs and families.
A real community
Members high-five each other in the parking lot. Weddings, kids, new jobs. We celebrate it all.
Megan built Studio ME because she needed it too.
Megan Cooper opened Studio ME in 2014 after years at the National Marrow Donor Program, and watching what fitness, or the absence of it, did to the people around her. When her older sister was diagnosed with stage IV cancer at 26, Megan's daily training became her anchor.
That experience shaped the studio. Strength isn't a vanity project here. It's how you stay in your own life: energetic, capable, present for the people who need you.
Megan's team coaches every member personally. No commission-chasing, no upsell scripts, no big-box churn. Just smart programming, careful coaching, and a community that actually knows your name.
A community of people who train smart.
Megan is incredibly knowledgeable. Programs are smart, the space is welcoming, and the team genuinely invests in your progress.
Best decision I've made for my health. Personalized coaching, real community. I look forward to every session.
Megan and the coaches at Studio ME truly care. I came in with a bad back and now I'm deadlifting more than I did in my twenties. They meet you where you are.
