Glisten Up...

Do you ever walk into a workout class and immediately think, Do I even belong here? 😬

That’s exactly what Meghan McFerran, founder of Glisten Studio in Saratoga Springs, wanted to change.

On this episode of Off-Track Saratoga, Noel and Zac head to Glisten for a conversation about making fitness feel less intimidating, more inclusive—and a whole lot more fun. Meghan shares how she went from professional dancer to personal trainer, entrepreneur and founder of Glisten, blending dance, music and fitness into workouts designed to leave you feeling stronger, happier and maybe even looking forward to your next class.

And yes… Noel and Zac actually do the workout. Things get sweaty, Britney Spears-inspired arms make an appearance, and the three attempt to conduct a conversation while simultaneously squatting, pulsing and trying not to lose their breath.

Meghan also talks about building a business while raising a family, giving yourself grace when you can't do it all, her experience working on In the Heights with Lin-Manuel Miranda, her time as a fitness trainer on the TODAY Show, and what could be next for Glisten.

Plus, Noel, Zac and Meghan get into some very important hot takes: Crocs, airplane outfits, workout trends, and the ultimate post-workout treat.

Whether you're a dedicated fitness person, someone who would rather do literally anything else than work out, or you're just looking for a welcoming local community in Saratoga, this episode might convince you to get your Glisten on.

Off-Track Saratoga is your guide to the people, places, businesses and conversations making Saratoga Springs and the Capital Region worth talking about.

Sometimes we're on track. Sometimes we're a little off. But it's always worth the listen.
