Megan Paradis
Hi! My name is Megan. I’m a wife and mother of 2 girls with a full-time life.
I have always had an active lifestyle. It started with regular outdoor play as a young child to sports in and outside of school. After graduation I got away from my fitness, but quickly got it back with group fitness activities. That is where I learned I love the atmosphere of being around others.
I became a member of ONE after working out at home during the Pandemic. I needed more and boy did I find it! The atmosphere at One is welcoming, encouraging, and motivating.
I became a Pound Instructor at ONE in October 2023 after Noelle asked me to join the team. It was very much outside my comfort zone, but I did it and I’m ever so glad I did!
I look forward to seeing everyone!!
JoAnn Dawes
JoAnn was involved in sports and athletics all through high school. While in college studying Athletic Training, she took up running and added weight training to her routine. After college, her focus was on starting a family. As a wife and mom she lost track of taking care of herself. After her youngest was born she decided that in order to be the best wife and mother she could be, she needed to pay more attention to her health.
She found her way to an indoor cycling class. She discovered she loved the group atmosphere almost as much as she loved the exercise! Using the energy and support of the group to help power her through each workout helped her to stay committed. Soon enough she got certified to teach indoor cycling. From there she added certifications in several Les Mills programs, Pound Fitness and went on to become a Certified Nutrition Coach as well as a Certified Personal Trainer.

Raquel Speers
Raquel is a single mom, who wants to be able to keep up with her two amazing boys. She was active in high school, but then life changed with college, adult responsibilities and starting a family. She stopped taking care of herself, focusing her energy on caring for others in her family and through her work as a Community Care Coordinator. She gained weight and became uncomfortable in her own skin. Then she recognized how much stress relief came with exercise and started a journey toward taking care of herself. Raquel became a certified Zumba instructor, which was totally outside her comfort zone. Seeking a new challenge, Raquel found Pound Fitness and fell in love with the program. She became certified to teach Pound in June 2015 and loves the full body workout with modifications to suit anyone! In 2023, she earned her certifications in Pound Unplugged, as well as SH1FT CARD1O and L1FT… She now loves to teach classes and enjoys to run.
Favorite quote: “Fitness is 100% mental…your body won’t go where your mind doesn’t push it.”
Raquel says, “I love the welcoming atmosphere at ONE Fitness and Wellness and the dedication that all the instructors have toward making sure everyone is comfortable and classes are modified to fit everyone’s needs.”

Noelle Stevens
Noelle is a wife & mother. She discovered later in life that the best medicine for her chronic back pain and depressed feelings is exercise. And even later discovered that good nutrition helps too 🙂
Why does she love group fitness classes so much? Because of all the exercise routines she tried, this is where she found the greatest benefits. And this is where the best of friendships were created.
