Meet Your Team

Megan Phillips
Owner, CPT 

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.

Jeff Onorato
CPT & Cycle Instructor

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!

Kelsie Rubalcaba
CPT & Certified Nutrition Coach 

​Kelsie got into weightlifting in high school and it quickly became her favorite hobby since feeling strong and confident in herself is so rewarding. After high school, she gained weight, ended up with 2 hormonal diagnoses, and went through cycles of yo-yo dieting until she realized she can sustain her goals with a balanced approach! Now she loves helping her clients skip the mistakes she made early on and go straight for long-lasting results! Kelsie has 4 years of experience coaching adults as a head trainer at a boutique fitness studio in Seattle but worked in children’s fitness for 6 years prior to that. She has a certification in personal training, nutrition, and plans to complete a women’s health certification in the near future! When she is not at the gym you can probably find her hanging out with her husband or taking her dog on fun outdoor adventures!
