Fitness has always been a central component of Anna’s life.  She’s been a life-long athlete, as a collegiate soccer player at Spring Hill College , a recreational tennis player and a dedicated runner.  With fitness always being a strong passion, she decided to make a career change from the world of development and event planning into the world of fitness. She began to learn about the Lagree Fitness method and just couldn’t get enough.  After learning about the effectiveness of the unique workout, she had to try it out for herself.  After one class, she was blown away by the intensity of the workout and the day after, the amount of soreness.  She found herself making excuses to go to Atlanta (the nearest city with a Lagree Fitness studio) and inevitably squeezing in a workout or two.  Needless to say, she was hooked.  It was clear that this method was the next big evolution in the fitness world and she is thrilled to be bringing this unique workout to Nashville, TN! 

Anna’s passion and deep understanding of this method allows her to teach in way that’s methodical, with an emphasis on proper form, while also providing her clients with energy, motivation and encouragement during each and every exercise.

Growing up in a health conscious home made it easy to decide the career path Morgan was going to pursue for her future. She has always been drawn to fitness and nutrition, as well as helping others succeed. After graduating from Auburn University with a degree in Exercise Science, her first occupation was in weight loss education. Through time spent directing and counseling in a local weight loss program, she began to understand the need for a more comprehensive approach to individuals' health concerns. 

Morgan is a certified Integrative Health Coach, personal trainer and group fitness instructor. After trying the Lagree Fitness Method once in her hometown of Nashville, she was hooked and knew this method needed to be added to her repertoire. The Lagree Fitness Method has made a significant impact on her personal fitness and she is excited to be able to share it with others. She was trained in and taught at Studio Novo before relocating to Los Angeles. Morgan has spent the last 3.5 years teaching the Lagree Fitness Method full time along-side seasoned LA instructors. She believes the time spent in California has been an invaluable learning experience.

Though LA proved to push and stretch her in new ways, Morgan, and husband Ben, are happy to be back home in Nashville. She takes great pleasure in the opportunity to guide clients towards increased personal fitness, a holistic lifestyle and to motivate positive behavior changes that will help their overall well-being. And Studio Novo is the perfect place to start!
