Meredith is an amazing instructor who blends fun with fitness in an effortless way! Following her monthly programs has completely taken out the stress of planning what movement I will do for the day, and if I happen to miss one, she’s always there to remind me to just hop back on it. If you have questions or comments, she will always get back to you and clearly takes her community’s feedback seriously! The workouts always include a warm up and a cool down, so I never leave feeling like I pushed too hard or didn’t get to return to a resting state. This is the app you need if you love fitness, are indifferent to fitness but know you need to do it, or are looking for way to fall in love with it! I recommend to all my friends and truly look forward to my 5 days a week with Mer.

I am obsessed with The Playground! All of Meredith’s workouts are as educational as they are functional. I love learning about my body as I’m strengthening it. My personal favorite programs are Recess (monthly calendar with strength, cardio, and mobility workouts) and the videos in the morning care collection. She even provides pre- and post- natal programming, incredible yoga videos, and functional mobility practices. There’s something for everyone on The Playground!
