Hi, my name is Melissa. My own fitness journey started over 8 years ago. I understand the struggles, the limitations, the frustrations and the uncertainty of just simply trying to better yourself. Being uncomfortable or not knowing what to do in the gym, not having the time or energy after working long days, poor eating habits or unhealthy lifestyle.. I've overcome all of these barriers and have helped 100s of men and women do the same. With a bachelors of Kinesiology and over 4 years of valuable experience working with clients of all different ages, backgrounds, limitations, and injuries, I am confident I can help you reach your goals. I have a passion to teach, influence and motivate my clients to reach their true potential. If you’re ready to commit to a healthier and happier YOU, message me to get started.

What to Expect

Every training program is designed based on each clients’ needs, goals, and desired training style. Although the types of programs vary, every client will be given new challenges and pushed to higher limits EVERY SESSION. Sessions start with a dynamic warmup and end with cool down stretches as I explain your nutrition homework and cardio regimen. Food logs are checked daily and additional check ins on nonsession days. There’s no way you won’t get results!

Client Success Story

Some reviews of previous clients.. Marc M. “I have trained with Melissa for a full year and it was an experience that exceeded every expectation I could have had. I was nervous to begin training as Ive never been physically fit or athletic, but Melissa made everything feel simple and achievable, and pushed me to work hard. She really tailored the experience for my strength and physical stamina, and I saw my strength and abilities greatly increase over the months. Her knowledge of kinesiology is really apparent. She would always coach me on my technique, help me fully understand the concepts, and and gave plenty of positive reinforcement. Aside from her ability to create a great workout routine and build a body — she’s also just a friggin’ delight. It was a highlight of my week to see Melissa and catch up a little about life. It’s brief, since I was out of breath most of the time, but I was always looking forward to chatting with her and getting her opinion on things. It’s been a life changing experience working with Melissa. It’s been amazing to make changes to my body. I highly suggest her above anyone else you could consider.” Lori B. “Melissa is a wonderful trainer! She took care to not hurt my overweight 53 year-old body but yet still push me to do accomplish more than I ever thought I could. My knees have always been a challenge because they just can’t take over-straining. She took care to push me while taking care of my traitor body. There were many times that I left sore, but I am always able to come back for more! I can’t remember ever working with a better trainer!” Joni B. “Not only will you get the best trainer ever, but you will also gain a good friend. Melissa knew exactly what I needed to reach my fitness goals. She was fast to accommodate any workouts while at the same time challenging me to work my hardest. Even though I left each session sore, I would always come back excited because each time we met, we did something new! Shes so fun and easy to talk to, and is not intimidating at all. If I could, I would have her be my trainer for life in a heart beat.“

Melissa is the perfect blend of cheerful and motivating while remaining focused on our personal needs and encouraging us to push ourselves. She’s a great communicator and keeps in touch with us on our goals throughout the week. I always enjoy my weekly workouts with her and she has given me both at home and gym variations to work on to make my schedule more accommodating when I’m not in the gym with her. 10/10, highly recommend.

Melissa is a great trainer. She demonstrates the exercises and gives corrections if needed. In addition she is knowledgeable and is great at encouraging you to push yourself.
I have a few medical conditions and my weight and age make working out somewhat difficult but Melissa asked what they were on our consult appointment and has been great about working around my limitations.
I cannot recommend Melissa enough as a trainer.

Melissa is a fantastic trainer! I have been out of shape for many years, and the first session with her was like a breath of fresh air for my physical situation. She took her time and explained each exercise in detail. She is very professional. I would recommend her to all my friends & family

I trained with Melissa for nearly 10 months. I really appreciated the time and effort she put into developing my workouts. She was flexible and worked with me when I was having pain flare ups. What I really loved was that Melissa pushed me exactly as hard as I needed to be pushed and was flexible when I needed her to flexible. I'm definitely happy with the results.

Melissa trained me for about a year. She was nothing short of amazing and motivating. Before her I dreaded going to the gym but she really pushed me to be the best that I could be and really made a work out regiment that catered to me and my goals. When I was doubting myself she'd be there to lift me up and remind me why I was there. I'd recommend her to everybody that is looking to start their fitness journey. You won't regret choosing her to help you be the best you can be.
