MARC MEGNA

My name is Marc Megna. I spent my entire life immersed in the world of health and fitness. Though I didn’t start off that way, my upbringing is a story of an un-athletic, undisciplined young person, who always dreamt of something better. I was extremely fortunate to be surrounded by several passionate teachers, coaches, and health professionals. It is my life’s work to find the most efficient ways to improve mind, body and soul through ones health. In a series of blogs I will pass along my story of a young person with no base of fitness to a professional athlete, and now performance coach. I’m fortunate to be a part of the NutritionCounseling.com crusade toward better health.

Marc Megna is a Miami-based personal trainer whose clients include celebrities, professional athletes, and everyday people. Marc works with each client on a individual basis, focusing on achieving long term results through creative program design and diverse exercise selection.

“Someday is not a day of the week” – Unknown

After years of competitive sports, numerous injuries and various dieting tactics, Briana’s appreciation for the human body and its ability to change and heal itself led her to study nutrition and physical training much more in depth; achieving the status of a highly sought after personal  trainer and diet guru.  She has traveled all over the East Coast and into the Midwest training everyone from 8 years old to 80 years old in almost every environment imaginable.

After launching a women’s protein line in 2006, Briana became the company’s guinea pig by training to become an award winning NPC Figure Competitor. The knowledge she gained from such extreme training and dieting has greatly benefited her clients from all fitness levels. Briana went on to launch Simply B, (www.SimplyB.us) the active lifestyle company in Tampa, FL focused on individual and community growth through education, resources and programs that excite and encourage people to become active participants with their health, families, work and community.  The remarkable physique changes Briana has been able to create for herself turned heads and earned her national recognition; bringing in offers to fitness model for both print & TV, speak at public engagements and teach people the importance of a healthy lifestyle and positive self-esteem through various outreach programs.
