GEORGE: Introduce yourself and tell us a little about what you do and your background.

My name is Megan Barron and I own Get Fit New Hampshire. I operate out of Concord, New Hampshire. My gym is a large group personal training facility with an emphasis on personal. So I work with clients between the ages of 50 to 70 for the most part men and women and really clients who are looking to age with grace so they can continue to do the things that they love to do and the things that they need to do as they mature. So while definitely people come to me because they're like, hey I want to lose weight. I want to feel better. The main person who's coming to me is like I want to work out again, and I don't want to get hurt when I do it. I want to be able to pick up my grandkids. I want to be able to put my own luggage in the overhead compartment. I just want to be able to retire and actually live my life. So those are the people that I work with and I absolutely love these people. So, yeah, I've been doing this for about 13 years. I do have a degree in exercise science and I started out at Get Fit New Hampshire as just an intern. I came to this gym as just a person off the street fresh out of the Marine Corps. He hired me on as an intern. I worked for free and eventually worked my way into a part-time position and then into a full-time position and then six years in he was like, hey, I'm ready to sell and I was like, oh, well, I guess I'll buy him out. So I bought out the previous owner in 2018 and it's been a ride ever since. So that's how I ended up where I'm at now, and I just like I never feel like I'm working. I absolutely positively love what I do and who I work with and I just wouldn't change it for the world.
