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. As a woman entering my 40s, I'm finding a kind of strength I didn't know I had. She's not just a coach — she's a friend, a confidante, and someone who makes me want to be a better human every day.
Meredith is one of the most genuine, motivating forces I've had in my corner. She builds programming that meets you exactly where you are, whether you're picking up a weight for the first time, coming back from an injury, or training at a high level, and she does it without ever making you feel less-than for where you're starting. What sets her apart is the balance: she pushes you to get stronger, but she also lets you feel whatever you're feeling that day and supports you through it rather than around it. If you're looking for a coach who brings real expertise and genuine empathy in equal measure, look no further. You want Meredith Kessler in your corner!
Meredith’s coaching and friendship has transformed this chapter in my athletic journey. I came to her early in my pregnancy looking for a coach to help guide me through what it looks like to be an elite pregnant athlete who has set goals for returning to racing post birth. 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 during what normally would be one of the hardest chapters to grow in. Her friendship, wisdom, coaching and experience are a gift. I am excited for this next chapter to get to race as an elite athlete again and a new Mama under Meredith’s leadership.
Meredith understands that athletic and fitness goals have to fit inside a full life. She brings decades of knowledge across training, mindset, nutrition, and recovery, while genuinely respecting the commitments we all have to our families, our careers, and our communities. She helps you pursue meaningful goals without losing sight of everything else that matters.
Meredith has an incredible gift for meeting every athlete exactly where they are. Whether she’s coaching elite professionals or those of us still chasing big dreams later in life, she gives each person the same level of encouragement, respect, and belief.
I met Meredith about eight years ago when she moved into our neighborhood. We immediately bonded over our love of triathlon and life. While I was always in awe of her accomplishments, she never made me feel like I was talking to a champion—just a caring friend.
Throughout my journey, Meredith always knew when to push me and when I needed a mental or physical break. She doesn’t just coach athletes; she truly knows them. That’s what makes her so special. Her athletes may start as clients, but they quickly become part of the family that is the triathlon community.
Meredith's coaching has helped me achieve my fitness goals through a training plan that builds accountability while respecting the delicate balance between life and training. Her approach lets me enjoy the process while developing a high level of fitness, and I arrive on race day ready for whatever the day brings — physically and mentally. I highly recommend MBK Coaching.
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.
Meredith is a coach beyond all coaches. I have been coached since I was 5 years old and I have never had a coach like Meredith. She goes beyond IRONMAN coaching; she can also be a great life coach. She understands the athlete not just from a sports aspect, but from a mental and family aspect as well. We know as athletes, the mental and family aspects of life play a big part of training and she understands that part very well. There are not many coaches that will workout with you and work around a busy schedule. She is there every step of the way. I will not lie, her workouts are tough and with her guidance you will meet any goal you choose. I am so happy I met her and I am happy she is my coach. I know I will never have a better coach than Meredith.
