“Megan and her team are genuinely the most knowledgeable coaches I've ever worked with. I'm stronger at 47 than I was at 30.”
Three ways to train, all coached, all personal.
Every member at Studio ME gets a dedicated coach, a program designed for their body, and a movement assessment to start. The only difference is how many people share the floor with you.
Private Training
The most personalized way to train. One coach, undivided focus, programming built around your body and goals.
- Custom program every session
- Best for injuries or specific goals
- Schedule built around you
Most popular
Semi-Private Training
Train with up to 5 others, each on your own program. Expert coaching, real community, and a lower price than 1-on-1.
- Up to 6 per coach
- Each person on their own program
- Most popular at Studio ME
Small Group Strength
Coach-led strength training in a small group. Real accountability, real coaching, not a class.
- Up to 15 per coach
- Set weekly schedule
- Energy of a group, coaching of a pro
Training for the long game.
Most gyms chase intensity. We build foundations. The ME Method is a structured, progressive approach to strength that keeps you getting stronger without breaking down.
Every program starts with movement quality. We add load only when your body is ready. The result: real strength gains that hold up for decades, not just for the season.
See how it works- 01
Studio Tour
About an hour at the studio. We show you around, introduce you to a coach, and talk through your goals and history. We'll make sure we're a good fit — and if you're ready to get started, we'll walk you through exactly what that looks like.
- 02
Movement Assessment
A coach runs you through a movement assessment to find limitations, asymmetries, and capacity. Your program is built from what it finds, and it keeps updating as you improve.
- 03
Custom Roadmap
You'll get started with a fitness plan that meets you where you're at. Your coach builds on what your body shows us each week from there.
Stronger Together.
Stronger together isn't just a tagline. It's how our members show up for each other — at charity shifts, obstacle races, bowling nights, food shelves, and the occasional Topgolf outing.
A different kind of training studio.
We are not a chain, a boutique class, or a globo-gym. We are a coaching studio, and these are the things our members tell us made the difference.
You are never anonymous
Every member is on a coach-built program. We know your name, your goals, and what we worked on last Tuesday.
Progressive, not punishing
We add weight, complexity, and intensity on a deliberate curve. Hard work, not destruction.
Built around injuries
Old knee, cranky shoulder, post-partum: we coach around what your body needs, not in spite of it.
Recovery partner on-site
Dr. Logan Kovacs of Motion Forward PT works alongside our coaches. Rehab and training stay in sync, with no gap between "cleared" and actually being ready.
Schedule that fits adult lives
Early-morning, mid-day, and evening slots. Sessions are 45 minutes, built for people with jobs and families.
A real community
Consistent schedule, consistent crew. Good people who notice when you miss a week and cheer when you hit a PR.
Rooted in what strength makes possible.
Studio ME opened in 2014, founded by Megan Cooper after years at the National Marrow Donor Program and watching what fitness, or the absence of it, did to the people around her. Strength here isn't a vanity project — it's how you stay in your own life: energetic, capable, present for the people who need you.
Today the studio is a team of coaches, each credentialed, mentored, and trained on the ME Method. Every member gets a coach who knows their program, their history, and their goals. No commission-chasing, no upsell scripts, no big-box churn.
Just smart programming, careful coaching, and a community that actually knows your name.
A community of people who train smart.
Studio Me is an amazing gym and I have really enjoyed the semi-private training. I initially signed on for 6 months but decided to extend for a year given I have enjoyed my experience. Luke is a great coach and staff here are so friendly and motivating. Studio Me is gym for ev…
I have been to Studio ME at all phases of my fitness journey. From “fresh starting over” to “working out every weekday” and everything in between. Not only have they been amazing facilitators of this journey, but they have taken the time to genuinely get to know me, my goals, …
I wish I could give MORE stars, honestly. Studio ME is a truly magical place. I was only in Minneapolis for a month for work, but Lindsay patiently worked with me to set up a schedule for personal training that fit with my schedule and my budget. The facilities are beautiful, …

About an hour at the studio. Walk the space, meet a coach, and talk through your goals and training history. Zero pressure — if we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.
