Meet Your Team

MEGAN PHILLIPS
OWNER, CPT & CYCLE INSTRUCTOR

Megan is a 3x, top 5 NPC Figure competitor, personal trainer and a busy Mom of 4. Her passion for fitness came after having her second child and feeling the need to lose the baby weight and feel more confident. This led to a newfound love for the fitness industry and competing in figure competitions. Through competing she noticed that she was inspiring her peers to make changes in their own lives and make fitness and nutrition more of a priority.  That realization quickly led to take that influence and to open a personal training studio to help others to make changes to be healthier. She brings energy, drive, and dedication to Emerge and is so passionate about educating and teaching her clients the tools to be successful even outside of the studio. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her Husband Jason & their 4 children, being outdoors and traveling.

JASON PHILLIPS

Through trial and error and tons of research and constant learning he has made huge transformations not only in his own career but helped others to reach their goals as well.  In Jasons spare time he enjoys spending time with family, weight lifting, technology & finding new ways to challenge himself.

JEFF ONORATO
GROUP FITNESS INSTRUCTOR & CPT 

Former Owner of North Corners Studios in Everett, Jeff comes to us with high energy & killer high intensity workouts!  His love for fitness came from an on a whim moment of weakness in ordering the "Insanity" home fitness program in 2010. 17lbs down in his first round and he was hooked.  From there his love for all things fitness took him to become a beachbody coach, certified in P90x, group fitness and becoming certified in personal training.  He went on to Manage Orange Theory fitness which led him to opening his own studio in 2017.  In his free time he loves spending time with his Wife, Krystle and his two boys Masen, 7 and Chase, 5.  He enjoys paddleboarding, hiking and basically all things active! After 5 years of running his own business, he decided to get back to his roots and focus on coaching and less on the operations of owning his own studio & we are so happy to have him as part of the Emerge team!

After taking his first spin class three years ago, Dar was hooked! He quickly took the necessary steps to become an instructor.
