“It goes back to being disciplined and determined, even while on the road,” she says. “I work really hard to maintain my fitness routine and stay committed to getting the results I want.”
Megan also knows the importance of sticking to a healthy diet alongside staying fit, which is why she has switched up what she eats in her day-to-day life.
“Having a healthy and balanced diet is a huge part of my process. I’ve integrated a lot of fruit and vegetables into my meals — I love protein-rich meals and I drink lots of healthy smoothies — so I’m definitely proud of the adjustments I’ve made,” she explains. “It takes a lot of discipline and consistency, but I try to be extra health-conscious with everything I put into my body.”
“I’m really excited to partner with Planet Fitness because working out is such an important part of my life,” she tells PEOPLE. “Fitness can have such a powerful and positive impact on your body, mind and soul, so it’s an authentic collaboration that truly connects to my personal and professional interests.”
“At the end of the day, both Planet Fitness and I want everyone to invest in their physical and mental health, feel empowered to enjoy exercising and reach their personal fitness goals,” adds Megan, who will perform on the Planet Fitness stage in Times Square duringDick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024.
“Physical and mental health go hand-in-hand, and it’s a huge priority for me,” Megan says. “For such a long time, our society had a negative stigma around mental health, so I’m committed to doing my part to normalize the conversation and provide people with the right resources to get the necessary help.”
