Meg S. has been part of the somofit community since we opened, and her presence feels deeply woven into the fabric of the club. An East Coast native who moved to Sonoma County 20 years ago, Meg brings warmth, humor, tenacity, and an unmistakable sense of purpose into every space she enters, especially at somofit.
By day, Meg provides technology and production services for corporate events. Outside of work, she is a dedicated advocate for the disability community and serves on the board of Miracle League North Bay, which provides baseball and inclusive events for kids and adults with disabilities and special needs. At the center of everything she does is her family, her son Owen, her three bonus daughters Vita, Zoe, and Grace, and her husband Eric. Together, they love working on their home and experimenting with design.
A perfect day off for Meg is equal parts cozy and restorative: morning snuggles with Owen, coffee by a fire, a walk on the beach, lunch outside, yoga, a home-cooked meal, nighttime snuggles, and ending the day with a good book.
When Meg talks about what she’s most proud of, her answer is immediate.
“My health journey.”
Over the span of two years, Meg was hospitalized twice, once for three weeks, and spent months extremely sick and weak afterward. The experience became a defining turning point.
“Since then, I have made myself and my health the number one priority,” she shares. “Almost exactly two years to the day of my last hospitalization, I am the fittest, leanest, strongest, healthiest version of myself ever.”
That clarity shapes how Meg approaches movement today, not as a temporary phase or a set of goals, but as a way of living.
Meg joined somofit with the intention of expanding beyond yoga and incorporating strength training and wellness routines. What she found was something deeper.
“Fitness and movement mean life,” she says. “In that I am alive due to my new dedication to movement and wellness, and peace of mind that my strength can help me overcome future health issues.”
Over time, her relationship with fitness has shifted from chasing outcomes to living with intention. Movement is no longer something she schedules; it’s simply how she moves through her life.
“I have always been a mover and a goal setter,” she explains, “but now I have a purpose, not just goals. Fitness for me now is just how I live.”
Her motivation is clear and unwavering: her son, Owen.
Owen, who has Down syndrome, inspires Meg daily, not only through his determination to accomplish his goals, but through his ability to be unapologetically himself while doing so.
“That is completely awe inspiring,” she says.
When asked about favorite classes or moments at somofit, Meg’s answer reflects just how connected she feels to the club.
There are many standouts: her first cold plunge, the infamous “turn around” game with Malcolm (IYKYK), Conny consistently handing her heavy weights, yoga and sound baths with Angelica and Alisse, Hot Barre with Jesania, being part of Mike’s first class with Jack, Hot Sculpt filming with Amy, and every class with Theresa, who Meg affectionately refers to as the club’s cheerleader.
One milestone stands out most: celebrating her 100th class on December 31st, a meaningful way to close out the year.
Meg’s definition of balance has shifted over time.
“I’ve realized that balance doesn’t mean equal time to each priority,” she says. “Instead, it’s the ability to shift focus onto what or who needs the most, and not lose yourself in that moment.”
Movement has also taught her a lesson that extends well beyond the club.
“Your body is a system,” she explains. “Movement enables the system to function. Being stagnant in movement leads to being stagnant in mind, emotions, and health.”
Meg’s week comes with a soundtrack, and it’s as layered as she is.
Mix a little reggae, old-school hip hop, pop, and a few tracks from the ’70s and ’80s, and you’ve got her mixtape. Her workout playlist leans toward ’90s rap, Black Eyed Peas, and the occasional cheesy rock anthem (Eye of the Tiger proudly included).
One song that always puts her in a good mood?
“Cracklin’ Rose” by Neil Diamond.
When asked what community means to her, Meg answers with one word:
“Acceptance.”
What she loves most about somofit is the sense of belonging that greets her the moment she walks in.
“You walk in and people know your name. You immediately feel at home, welcomed and accepted as you are,” she says. “There is no judgement. No condescension. Everyone is friendly, supportive, and motivational. It’s truly unique.”
Meg’s recovery ritual is intentional and restorative: twenty minutes in the sauna, four minutes in the cold plunge, followed by twenty minutes of red light therapy.
If she could design a new somofit class, it would focus on mobility and flexibility, supporting strength while making aging feel less intimidating and everyday movement more accessible.
When asked to finish the sentence “To me, moving with purpose means…” Meg’s answer is grounded and clear:
“Enhancing my health, keeping my body strong and my mind focused.”
That intention shows up in every class she takes, every recovery session she commits to, and every way she shows up for her family, her community, and herself. It’s a powerful reminder that movement, when rooted in purpose, can change everything.
