Megan Neil: Fitness Assistant
I am a grade 12 student that currently attends St. Mary’s high school in Woodstock, although was born in the Norwich community. From a very early age sports and over all fitness has played a dominant role in my lifestyle. I have actively participated in various sports including Horseback riding, Basketball and Rugby at a competitive level. Throughout my years of playing sports I have developed a sense of self worth and respect for everybody including my opposing teams. Fitness will always be an important part of my lifestyle since a long-term goal of mine is to take a fire fighting program in British Columbia in about two years time. Since Fitness is a major aspect to becoming a fire fighter I am eager to be working at the Norwich Family Fitness Center along with others improving their quality of life through fitness.
