Megan Roup is a fitness trainer who has made her name with her Sculpt Society workout programme and success as an Instagram fitness guru. Originally from California, Roup is now based in New York and is a personal trainer to an impressive client list of celebrities and CEOs. She has partnered with some of the biggest brand names in the world, including Amazon and Victoria’s Secret. She travels the world teaching pop-up classes whilst her dance-based cardio routine is officially taught at Equinox, a global chain of luxury gyms.

Roup’s success did not come overnight. A lifelong devotee of dance, she was on her high school’s dance team and studied it at New York University; she even landed the coveted role of NBA dancer for two seasons. Then, for nearly a decade, her day job was as a fitness trainer. Over time, she began to merge her love of dance and fitness into a dance-based fitness routine that helped empower women to feel strong and confident in their bodies. This ultimately led to The Sculpt Society, the workout method she launched in 2017.

Since then, Roup and The Sculpt Society have gone from strength to strength. She has grown her Instagram follower list to over 220,000, helped by her work training blogger, designer, and influencer Arielle Charnas. With over 1 million followers, Charnas’s endorsement of Roup’s work saw the latter’s profile instantly raised. Despite that, Roup has done more than enough to build her own reputation and will be one to watch as her influence and empire continue to grow.
