Coach
Maycee White
I recently graduated with a bachelors in exercise science and psychology from Lindenwood University. I’m originally from Colorado, enjoy spending time outdoors in the fresh air, and eating fresh food with proper brewery craft beer in social settings with my friends and family. I ran track and cross country throughout high school and college, while doing weekly strength and conditioning training. I am passionate about programming and modifying workouts that fit each individual's specific needs and goals. I am a big fan of circuit training and super-setting while making sure the exercises chosen aid in injury prevention.
I wanted to work with MOV because of how supportive the staff are of the clients as well as each other. MOV offers a unique, hands-on training model to clients, based around the clients goals for nutrition and training. I hope to bring an upbeat approach and positive attitude that makes training fun and memorable for clients, leaving them wanting to come back after each session!
