RISE Performance

 RISE Performance was founded by Meghan Brown in 2011, based upon two important principles of health and well-being:

1)    Health and fitness come from our minds first, and our bodies second.

2)    Our minds and bodies need exercise to function properly; let’s make it a positive experience and do it with the people we like to be around.

Meghan is a firm believer in taking care of our minds and bodies in order to be a more successful person in all areas of our lives. She's very passionate about carrying out her beliefs in her day-to-day life, to the best of her ability, and is eager to share her knowledge with those who want to learn. So often today we rely on limited activity and less than ideal options for nourishment due to hectic lifestyles. This is taxing on the brain and body. Our bodies were meant to be active and nourished with whole, nutrient-dense food; as opposed to spent hunched over computers and mobile devices, lounging in front of the television, or fed chemically-filled, over-processed "fake" food.

 Our minds are the driving force behind all actions we take - we have to challenge our minds to move past the trap of prioritizing everything and everyone above our health. And what we'll get in return are positive, strong, fulfilled, introspective and productive attitudes. And disease-free, buff bodies, ta boot!

 Meghan realizes the struggle that can occur when trying to find a way to keep up with life and take care of our bodies. With that in mind, her dream of opening her own fitness studio - one that encompasses multiple aspects of health and wellness - is beginning on a very small level this summer with her pilot RISE Performance Outdoor Boot Camp to help send the message of "You can do it!" to all that want to listen.

Meghan currently teaches a boot camp class three times a week at the Burlington Y, and she is also in the process of completing her personal training certification.
