Meet Morgan J. Pointer
I am light, an extension of source. Entered this earthly realm by way of my amazing parents. I occupied the same womb space as my four other fantastic siblings. The middle child and the first born daughter automated me as “management.” Born and raised in the fifth ward, the city of Evanston is home.
Morgan attended Illinois State University and earned her Bachelors of Social Work. After two years of being a drug and alcohol counselor for adolescent males, she transitioned to the health and wellness field. In 2013, Morgan earned her License in Massage. In 2019, Morgan became a Certified Personal Trainer.
Morgan is the mother to three warrior Goddesses: Lyra Rae, Allure Mahogany, and Alchemy Maesun.
Morgan loves everything about her Evanston community and is grateful to operate independently as a health and wellness partner. She currently rents space at the AUX-Wellness Collective, Evanston’s newest Black-owned and operated entrepreneurial hub. At the AUX, Morgan leads group fitness classes, Personal Training and offers body work.
What makes Pillars of Vitality special?
At PoV Fitness, we train differently - because your body deserves more than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our methodology is rooted in functional movement, lymphatic movement, and breathwork. These are not add-ons; they are the foundation. We believe that before progressing into any other fitness modality - whether strength training, certain styles of yoga, or recreational activities - a solid, intelligent base must be established.
By prioritizing how the body moves, recovers, and breathes, we help you:
Build resilient movement patterns
Improve circulation and recovery through lymphatic flow
Enhance performance, mobility, and body awareness
Reduce injury risk before intensity increases
Only when this foundation is in place do we layer in more advanced training. The result? Smarter workouts, better results, and a body that’s prepared to handle whatever you ask of it.
