  HIDDEN GEM! I discovered Meraki after my son’s father told me about a gym where my son, who is a wheelchair user, could do adaptive physical therapy, he could do CrossFit, and I could get an evaluation and personal training. Eventually, I went in for myself, and I’m so glad I did. After years of trying to plank again after a C-section, Amy had me planking within a month. She also helped me with knee and back pain, created a customized stretch flow that I still do every morning years later, and gave me specific strengthening exercises for my body, my injuries, and the physical demands of being a special needs mom to a son who cannot walk. Meraki is truly a hidden gem. There is such a wealth of knowledge here, from strength training and mobility to nutrition, physical therapy, adaptive fitness, injury support, and midlife wellness for women. It is rare to find a place that can support so many different needs with this much care, skill, and attention. I am so grateful I found Meraki and cannot recommend them enough.

  I have been teaching Zumba for 15 years and when a pain in my knee was keeping me from my class, I wanted a quick fix. I was originally in a physical therapy office with lots of people and 4 therapists bouncing around person to person. I would finish what they told me to do and sit and wait like “ do I just keep going oooorrrrrrr ???????” and then something started bothering me in my shoulder and I didn’t feel like I had the freedom to add another body part because I was there , for my knee. Out of curiously, while in their office, waiting for my next instruction I googled personal physical therapy and found Amy at Meraki. She asked me for my daily food journal for the last three days, for my sleeping position , medications, supplements, activity …. she wanted the WHOLE story. Not just my knee. She is sooooooo knowledgeable and PATIENT. Thorough. Pleasant even when I asked if anyone ever told her she was mean…. She’s not mean🤣🤣🤣 Her gym is loaded with so much FUN equipment. Every time I visited I feel like she introduced me to something new keeping me challenged . If you go to her ( which I HIGHLY recommend) and she asks you to do something that seems near impossible and you side eye her….her favorite line is “ I know what I’m asking.” I hope if you need assistance with preventative, maintenance or healing and you live in O’Fallon, that you will give her a visit. My Zumba peeps are grateful for her as I’m back, good as new. ✌🏼

  Amy's approach to nutrition is different than any other program I've used in the past. Her focus is on me as a person and what habits I can create to achieve my nutrition goals. It is not a "don't eat this" or "only eat that" approach. We all know we should eat healthier and move more, but this is the first time I've felt empowered to do so and to ensure long-term success thanks to the strategies that Amy has helped me to implement. I highly recommend Amy and Meraki to anyone as part of their health and wellness journey.

  I’ve been working with Amy as my nutrition coach for several months and it has been incredibly helpful for my weight loss and muscle-building journey. The accountability she provides, along with the Health Steps Nutrition app, has made a huge difference. Amy has spent a lot of time helping me work through hurdles that previously made it difficult to lose weight, and the mindset coaching has been just as valuable as the nutrition guidance. She’s knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in helping her clients succeed. Highly recommend!
