Meagan Delatte
With a lifelong passion for movement and wellness, I’m honored to serve as the new Fitness Director at Pelican Athletic Club. My journey began as a professional dancer, performing in Modern and Jazz shows across the globe, with roots in the vibrant arts scenes of Chicago and New York City. While touring, I earned certifications in yoga and Pilates, which laid the foundation for my transition into the fitness industry.
After retiring from dance, I continued my wellness journey in Chicago, working with Equinox Clubs. There, I taught a wide variety of classes—from HIIT, Tabata, and Bootcamps to Reformer Pilates, cycling, and running. I also created original class formats and programming for the company, further fueling my love for building community through fitness.
Eventually, life brought me to Louisiana, where I helped open a stretch therapy studio in Baton Rouge while continuing to lead group fitness and personal training throughout the region. I also compete in adventure and endurance races—cycling, running, canoeing, and navigating tough terrain alongside my biggest inspiration, my dad. These events, along with ultra and long-distance races, constantly push my mental and physical limits and keep my passion for fitness alive.
Another chapter of my journey includes being a survivalist on the reality TV show Extracted, where I lived in the wild for several weeks. Living off the grid for weeks was a life-changing experience that deepened my resilience, discipline, and appreciation for both physical and mental strength.
Now settled in Mandeville with my husband, I’m thrilled to be a part of the PAC family. This community has welcomed me with open arms, and I’m passionate about continuing to grow and elevate our fitness offerings. Whether you’re new to exercise or a seasoned athlete, I can’t wait to work with you, sweat with you, and help you reach your goals!
