Our Team

Meet the humans behind Routine.

We believe there’s an instructor for everyone. No cookie cutters here. Each brings their own personality, style, energy, and expertise to the room.

Different vibes. Different strengths. One thing in common: they care. A lot.

Michaela McVetty

Owner + Pilates Instructor
Michaela is a lifelong entrepreneur with a “try everything once” kind of spirit. She opened Sisters Gourmet Deli in 2016, co-founded a tech startup, bought a soda company, moved across the country and back — all with her husband Nick cheering her on. But her true turning point came when she discovered Pilates while trying to heal chronic back pain.

After exhausting every treatment under the sun, Pilates was the first thing that made her feel better — and the first workout she genuinely loved. It didn’t hurt. It made her stronger. It became her favorite habit. She wanted her friends to try it, wanted to talk about it nonstop, and eventually bought a reformer for her house so she could do Pilates anytime she wanted. (Nick was even taking her “classes” before she was certified.)

The only problem? She worked in Midcoast and was driving to Portland multiple times a week because nothing like this existed here. So she decided to build it herself.

Routine is crafted the same way she built Sisters: by designing the kind of space she wants to be in. Big workout rooms, beautiful showers, infrared saunas, red light therapy, Normatec boots, clean + modern design, a schedule that actually works for real people, and a welcoming team that truly cares.

Michaela is a 450-hour certified Pilates instructor (mat, reformer, and chair) and believes everyone deserves to feel good in their body — whether you’re a star athlete or someone’s grandmother who struggles to bend over. Her classes are grounding, challenging, and filled with giggles, inappropriate jokes, and plenty of rap music. Mostly, she just wants you to have as much fun as she’s having.

If you see her at the desk, say hi — she can’t wait to meet you.

Nick Roberge

Owner
Nick has been active his whole life — hockey, tennis, anything competitive from school through college. In his twenties, he found golf and never looked back; it quickly became his number one obsession.

When Michaela started taking Pilates to help her back pain, she’d come home and show him a few moves. Surprisingly… they worked. He started adding quick 20-minute Pilates sessions into his mornings, and almost immediately noticed his usual back tightness easing up. He could move more. He felt better.

As Michaela moved into teaching, Nick had the very enviable benefit of private lessons. They focused on core strength to support all the stretching and releasing he was doing. The result? A back that doesn’t nag him, knees that don’t ache after long days on his feet, and — maybe most importantly — a noticeably better golf game.

For any guys who think Pilates is “just for girls,” Nick has one message: come take a class and see for yourself. He’s watched some of his strongest friends get humbled… and walk out feeling better than they have in years.

Courtney McDonald

Yoga Director
Courtney is a vinyasa flow instructor, personal trainer, and lifelong student deeply committed to holistic health and the transformative power of heat in movement. Her wellness journey began while leading command fitness during her time in the Navy, where she first discovered the power of group fitness to build resilience and relieve stress. After completing her enlistment, she turned to yoga as a personal refuge — ultimately igniting a lifelong passion.

Courtney holds a 200-hour Yoga Alliance certification from Well Heart Yoga School, is a certified Buti Yoga instructor, a NASM-certified personal trainer, and holds a Women’s Fitness Specialization through NASM. She is currently completing her 500-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training with Authentic Movements.

Her classes are known for their commanding yet uplifting energy, fusing dynamic vinyasa flow with purposeful alignment and thoughtfully curated playlists. She empowers students to explore their edges — physically and mentally — in a supportive, heat-enhanced space designed to enhance performance, support detoxification, and cultivate a deeper mind-body connection for growth, healing, and transformation.

In 2017, Courtney moved to Bath and began teaching and managing at Ebb and Flow Yoga. She purchased the studio in 2018 and has been running EF Yoga on Front Street ever since. For nearly a decade, EF has been both her home and the foundation of her community. Many of her most meaningful relationships have grown from that space, and the culture she built there is something she carries with deep pride.

Courtney is excited for Routine to feel like an extension of that sense of home and family. She brings the same genuine culture, professionalism, and respect for the body, breath, and movement — helping Routine cultivate its own character and community on Stanwood Street.

At Routine, Courtney leads the yoga program, mentors teachers, sets the standard for how classes are taught, and helps build the skill and confidence of new instructors.

fitness instructor
Hannah is a strength coach and personal trainer who believes movement is one of the most powerful tools we have to feel strong, capable, and at home in our bodies. She creates a welcoming, no-intimidation environment where you can show up exactly as you are—whether you’re picking up a weight for the first time or building on years of experience. Her approach is grounded in the idea that everyone is an athlete. For Hannah, strength training isn’t just about lifting heavier—it’s about building resilience, confidence, and the kind of strength that carries into everyday life. She first discovered strength training in high school at WFS, where she learned how empowering it can feel to take up space in the weight room. That experience stuck. She went on to earn her degree in Applied Exercise Science and spent several years coaching in Boston, working with everyone from total beginners to experienced lifters, athletes, and pre/postnatal clients. She’s an NSCA Certified Personal Trainer with additional certifications in mental well-being and pre- and post-natal exercise. Today, Hannah works in injury prevention and ergonomics at Bath Iron Works, helping people move better, reduce injury risk, and stay strong for the physical demands of their jobs. That lens shows up in her coaching—expect an emphasis on quality movement, smart progressions, and strength that actually translates. At Routine, Hannah teaches functional strength classes that blend dumbbells, bands, and bodyweight work to build muscle, stability, and control. Expect a thoughtful, well-paced workout, a playlist that ranges from rap to old-school classics, and a few jokes along the way (plus probably what she’s currently cooking or eating that week). Originally from Brunswick and now based in Portland, Hannah is especially excited to be coaching in the community where it all started.

Olivia LeRoy

Director of Brand & Experience + Pilates Instructor
Olivia is the creative heartbeat of Routine — a movement teacher, brand builder, and forever student of “how things feel.” After nearly a decade working as an art director in advertising, she craved something more grounded and human. A Pilates teacher training — taken on a whim during a season of burnout — changed everything.

Olivia grew up in Brunswick before heading out for 13 years in New York City, San Diego, and just about everywhere in between — Montana, Austin, Los Angeles. She moved back to Maine in 2024, and in a cute lil full-circle twist, she attended her first-ever group fitness class many years ago in this very building (yes, at WFS!).

What started as a “maybe this will be fun” training quickly became a full-body yes. Olivia fell in love with the precision, the flow, and the way Pilates made her feel. Within months she was teaching nonstop, swapping late-night production schedules for early-morning mat classes, and realizing she’d found the work she was meant to do.

At Routine, Olivia leads all things brand and experience — from the look and feel of the studio to the tiny details that make it warm, intentional, and beautiful. As an instructor, her classes blend thoughtful sequencing with athletic flow, clear cues, and a playful edge.

Olivia is a 450-hour certified Pilates instructor (mat, reformer, and chair) and is passionate about creating a space where people feel supported, empowered, and at home in their body.

Andrea teaches with warmth, encouragement, and a genuine desire to help people grow.

Before joining the Routine team, Morgan spent years in corporate sales and freelance social media management, which means she really loves people, good communication, strong brands, and creating experiences people actually want to come back to. Now, as Routine’s Engagement Manager, she brings all of those pieces together, connecting with members, supporting the team, creating content, planning events, and finding new ways to make Routine feel like a place you want to hang out ALL THE TIME :) As an instructor, Morgan is down to earth, encouraging, and big on intentional sequencing, strong form, good music, and classes that challenge you without making you feel like you have anything to prove. She teaches Barre and Hot Sculpt and is Balanced Body certified in Reformer I + II. She loves that every modality brings its own kind of challenge, strength, and very specific burn. Across every class she teaches, the goal is the same: movement should feel welcoming, effective, and like something you actually want to keep doing. Modifications are encouraged, shakes are celebrated, and YES, you can get just an inch lower! Whether she’s teaching, chatting with members, creating something fun, or dreaming up Routine’s next event, Morgan is happiest when she’s bringing people together and making the studio feel like a community. Outside of Routine, she’s usually with her husband and two-year-old daughter, Ivy, taking full advantage of living in Maine!

Mat Pilates instructor
Liz moved to Maine from the other Portland after spending time on both coasts. Wherever she’s lived, group fitness has been one of her favorite ways to find community, make friends, and feel at home.

She’s also a firm believer that a strong core can fix approximately 99% of life’s problems. Outside the studio, Liz is probably hiking with her pup, Ollie, planning her next adventure, or casually reminding everyone that she’s fluent in Italian. Her movement philosophy? Exercise is a privilege, not a punishment—we get to move our bodies.

Brianna Meeks

Brianna has been part of the Routine community since we opened our doors, so joining the Front Desk team feels like a pretty natural next step.

Before becoming a mom of three, her love of movement took her from running to climbing mountains in Colorado and working in adventure programs. These days, that same adventurous spirit shows up in the way she approaches fitness: movement is a gift, and getting stronger should help you do more of the things you love. Priscilla is especially passionate about women’s fitness, pelvic floor strength, corrective exercise, mobility, and working with people of all ages and abilities.

Jaz Decrem

Mat + Reformer Pilates Instructor
Jaz is a Bowdoin College student (Class of 2028) from Palo Alto, California, with a love for challenging workouts that don’t take themselves too seriously. She started teaching fitness at just 17 as a certified Lagree instructor and has since added Mat and Reformer Pilates certifications to her repertoire. Jaz takes teaching seriously, but firmly believes your workout doesn’t have to feel serious to be a really good one. Her classes are challenging, high-energy, and somehow still fun, with plenty of personality mixed in. Expect to work hard, probably laugh, and leave feeling like you did something. When she’s not teaching, Jaz is usually embracing her inner chemistry nerd, keeping up with pop culture, or doing something creative.

Danielle Finley

Front desk
Danielle is a Philly native who has happily called Maine home for the past three years. A self-proclaimed fitness freak, she found her way to Routine as a member first—and now you’ll find her behind the front desk, ready to welcome you in. Outside the studio, Danielle loves traveling, spending time with her husband, and starting her mornings with Pilates (preferably followed by an iced coffee).

Amanda Smith

Mat Pilates Instructor
Amanda is a Balanced Body–trained Mat Pilates instructor who brings a calm, supportive energy to every class. Her teaching is all about intentional, full-body movement, thoughtful cueing, and making sure everyone in the room feels comfortable challenging themselves at their own pace. Expect to leave feeling strong, accomplished, and maybe just a little sore. Her Pilates journey actually started as one of Michaela’s practice bodies during teacher training (!!), and when Routine opened, becoming an instructor felt like the perfect opportunity to step outside her comfort zone. Naturally a little more reserved, Amanda has found teaching to be a really rewarding way to grow, connect with people, and share how much she loves Pilates. Amanda loves both Mat and Reformer Pilates—and if you’re a Taylor Swift person, you’ll probably appreciate her playlists. Outside of Routine, she’s always down for a day trip in search of really good food, the perfect thrift store find, or ideally both.

Shannon Nulty

Mat Pilates + Sculpt Instructor
Shannon is a Balanced Body–trained Mat Pilates instructor and is currently working toward her Reformer certification. Originally from New Jersey and the youngest of her siblings, she grew up loving athletics—and with a competitive streak from always trying to keep up with the older kids. She went on to play college soccer before a second ACL tear ended her playing career earlier than she had hoped. Even after soccer, movement, teamwork, and community remained a big part of Shannon’s life (she even met her husband through a flag football league!). Her Pilates journey began shortly after the birth of her son, when she discovered a completely different kind of challenge than the workouts and athletic training she was used to. Her curiosity—and, yes, that competitive side—quickly had her wanting to learn more. Today, Shannon has a whole new appreciation for the small movements, intentional breathwork, and slow burn of Pilates. As a busy mom, she knows firsthand that finding time to move for yourself isn’t always easy, but she believes showing up for yourself helps you show up better everywhere else, too. Come move with Shannon, embrace the shake, and leave feeling like the best version of yourself.

Dori Bergman

Reformer Pilates Instructor
Dori believes Pilates is one of those practices that can become part of how you move through life, right alongside nourishing yourself, learning new things, and building meaningful relationships. She practices Pilates daily as a way to feel more at home in both her body and mind. Her connection to Pilates became especially meaningful while navigating an autoimmune disease that affects her spine. Through her own practice, she found strength, alignment, and a greater sense of wellbeing, ultimately inspiring her to begin teaching. Dori is currently completing her Reformer certification through Rise Pilates in Portland and is excited to help others discover what Pilates can bring to their own lives. Her teaching style is calm, intentional, and grounding, with a focus on helping you connect to your body, move with purpose, and leave feeling GOOD.
