For the athlete, the comeback, the next chapter — and the person you are becoming.
Meredith appreciates keeping her roster small — so each athlete receives direct attention, thoughtful feedback, and real support.
Twenty World Championship appearances reflect a career built on consistency, resilience, and showing up at the highest level — lessons MBK now brings to every athlete it coaches.
"A happy human is a successful athlete."
The belief at the center of everything MBK does
The MBK Framework
The three pillars of every path forward
Motivation is not about chasing performance — it is about discovering what you are truly capable of. That discovery changes everything.
Belief is built by showing up again and again — especially on the hard days. Confidence rooted not in perfection, but in perseverance.
For more than 26 years, endurance sport has been the classroom. Those hard-won lessons are now yours.
Getting Started
No guesswork. No pressure. Just a simple path from where you are to where you want to go.
Tell MBK where you are, what you're working toward, and what kind of support you need. Every application is read personally.
Schedule a consultation to talk through your goals, your life, your schedule, and the best-fit coaching path for you.
Receive your personalized plan through Final Surge — with ongoing communication, weekly adjustments, accountability, and a coach who genuinely cares.

In Person · Westerville, Ohio
A small-group strength and community experience built around the same MBK belief: show up, do the work, and leave stronger than you came.
The idea is simple: bring MBK coaching into one room for people who want hands-on strength work, genuine accountability, and the energy of training alongside others.
Concept in development: format, schedule, and timing are still being shaped.
Why I Coach
"While triathlon has been my profession for more than two decades, people have always been my purpose."
The greatest victories happen when someone believes in themselves for the first time.
When someone returns after a setback.
When someone discovers confidence they didn't know they had.
When someone realizes they are stronger than they ever imagined.
Because every athlete has a story. And every story is worth believing in.
Athlete Stories
Many different paths. One consistent experience: thoughtful coaching that sees the athlete, the person, and the life around the goal.
Meredith cares more about people and helping them succeed than anyone I know. She takes the time to know your story, your body, your injuries, and what you need — then builds something that is truly yours. I've run marathons for years, but I never understood the joy of getting strong until her.
Meredith’s coaching and friendship has transformed this chapter in my athletic journey. From the start Meredith invested in all that I am as a coach, athlete, leader and friend. That heart has made all the difference. I have become a more empowered woman and athlete at almost nine months pregnant.
Meredith is the perfect example of what a coach should be. She listens, genuinely cares, and puts in the time and effort to make you a better athlete and person week after week. Best of all, she works incredibly hard to fit training into your life instead of making your life fit training. I truly couldn't ask for a better coach.
More athletes. More seasons of life. More ways MBK meets people where they are.

About MBK
A four-sport athlete from Columbus, Ohio. A Division I scholarship to Syracuse. A graduation-money triathlon bike — and a full IRONMAN two weeks later. 18 professional racing years followed.
"Outside of sport, I take the most pride in being a wife to my high school sweetheart Aaron, a mom to Mak and Crew, a daughter, sister, mentor, and friend."
Victories and podium finishes were always cherished and never taken for granted. But the most valuable lessons came along the way — learning to balance elite performance with family, work, setbacks, and real life. Those are the lessons MBK now brings to every athlete it coaches.
