COACHES, OWNERS, ATHLETES | Tanya & Meredith owners of Real Fitness, CrossFit

On this episode Michael chats with Tanya Poppa & Meredith Donohue the owners of RealFitness, a CrossFit gym in Sarasota.

A bit about Meredith:
For the past 2 years, she has proudly owned and operated a CrossFit box, bringing over a decade of coaching experience to the table. She joined Real Fitness Sarasota straight out of college, starting as an intern and gradually working her way up to co-owner.
What truly fuels her passion is witnessing others heal—both emotionally and physically—and experiencing the contagious excitement and pride that comes with it. This is why she has dedicated herself to this field. Personally, she has found immense fulfillment through nutrition, exercise, and personal development. Being able to guide others on their own paths to healing and growth is incredibly rewarding. If she can inspire or assist someone in achieving their goals the way she's been fortunate to do, it's one of the most fulfilling experiences for her —aside from being a proud mom to her daughter, of course!

A bit about Tanya:
As the Co-owner of  ⁠Real Fitness Sarasota⁠, Co-owner of RFS Barbell and Owner of Life- Minded Nutrition, she is deeply committed to sharing the gifts of self confidence, strength and empowerment  that come with good health. She enjoys everything from CrossFit to bodybuilding, triathlons, tactical training and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Tanya has over a dozen certifications in the fitness and nutrition field, and  over the last 15 years, she has worked with all types of people to help them reach their fitness and health goals, to ultimately improve their overall quality of life.
