In early 2024, Maggie also became a certified personal trainer through NASM and is now working with clients both 1:1 and in groups in the fitness studio. When she’s not at Muse, you can find her working at on a mosaic project, cooking, gardening, traveling, or hanging out with her husband Richard and pocket-sized pittie Bean!

Haley, Muse’s studio manager, is a woman of many talents! She teaches both yoga and fitness classes and is a certified personal trainer. Her love of movement began with 18 years of formal dance training, supplemented with yoga, pilates, and strength training. Shortly after completing her BFA in Dance at the University of the Arts, she pursued her passion for fitness and movement by becoming certified in yoga, barre, and personal training. She's inspired by helping others feel strong and enjoy their movement. When she's not coaching, Haley's probably enjoying Philly's live music, restaurants, and getting out in nature with her dog Fang.

Natalie is a yoga teacher, a NASM-certified personal trainer & a nutrition coach who loves being active! She grew up playing team sports, but it wasn't until her final season that she looked to maintain an active lifestyle and fell in love with yoga. She completed a 200-hour YTT in 2017 and loves the community that all types of movement classes create. Through her teaching, Nat strives to bring everyone together through creative sequences, motivating group fitness challenges, and mostly awesome (but sometimes silly) playlists.

He grew up near the ocean on Long Island, where he played many sports, most recently combining his love of the water with his passion for athletics by learning how to surf.

After his wife Maggie opened Muse, he made it official and got his group fitness certification from the Athletics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA). Chard wants to help others live a long, active, healthy life—so, along with fun, expect a focus on form in his classes!
