Braegan Padley
Intensity Director

by

Classes: Power Playground HIIT, MINTRow, TRX Bootcamp, MINTCore

Braegan is one of the driving forces behind MINT. As a leader on the team, she does more than teach exceptional classes. She shapes the programming that defines the MINT experience, mentors fellow instructors, and sets the standard for what great fitness coaching looks like.

Her classes have a way of pulling people back, sometimes more than once in a single day. That kind of loyalty is not an accident. Braegan has a gift for creating workouts that feel fresh and purposeful, from creatively themed classes to fitness challenges that push the entire community forward.

When you step into Braegan’s class, expect to sweat. Her workouts are dynamic, athletic, and results-driven, designed to challenge you in ways that leave you feeling genuinely accomplished. She is not here to make it easy. She is here to help you push past your excuses and show up as a stronger, more powerful version of yourself.

The work does not get easier. You just get stronger.

Master Instructor

Myke Nicholson

by

Classes: Power Playground, Power Box, FLEX, Core, and Master Trainer

Myke Nicholson describes himself as an athletic artist, and once you experience his training style, that description makes perfect sense. He approaches fitness as a creative discipline, constantly finding new ways to challenge the body and mind while guiding clients toward victories that are uniquely their own.

A NESTA-certified personal trainer and TRX-certified instructor with almost 20 years of experience, Myke draws from a deep and diverse toolkit that spans weightlifting, calisthenics, strongman, and MMA. That breadth of expertise means no two sessions feel the same, and every client gets a training experience built around what they actually need.

Myke’s philosophy is simple but powerful: be a force amplifier. He is not here to overhaul your life overnight. He is here to help you get 1% better every single day, and to show you just how far that compounds over time.

Meg DiRuggiero
Program Director

by

Meg DiRuggiero wears many hats at MINT and excels at them all. As Programming Director, she plays a central role in mentoring instructors and shaping the experiences that define MINT, all while showing up as one of the most talented instructors and Pilates trainers on the floor.

Meg is certified in the STOTT contemporary method for Pilates and through NASM for personal training, and brings expertise in TRX and functional strength training to her teaching. She was first drawn to Pilates for its emphasis on core strength and stability, and experienced firsthand how blending strength and flexibility can significantly reduce back and knee pain. That personal discovery became a professional conviction: training rooted in Pilates principles creates the most sustainable and effective workouts for everyone.

Behind her teaching philosophy is a personal story. An instructor whose engaging, supportive approach made a lasting impression early in Meg’s own practice continues to shape how she shows up for her clients today. She aims to be that same instructor, someone who challenges you while keeping every session approachable, welcoming, and enjoyable.

The numbers behind her experience are hard to ignore. Meg brings over 4,000 hours of one-on-one training and more than 5,000 hours of group class instruction to every session, with a client base spanning all ages and a wide range of abilities and limitations.
