Client Reviews

Coach Melissa was knowledgable about what I needed to do to meet my goals. After hearing my story, she set up a plan and asked for accountability on my part with a little extra accountability with the use of technology. I believe that, with Melissa's guidance, I will set my new personal record.

Melissa is great! Personable, flexible, and a wealth of knowledge about what it takes to get to your goals. I highly recommend her!

Coach Melissa is THE BEST! I just started running a few years ago with the goal of completing my first marathon (at the ripe old age of 54). Melissa gives me detailed instructions every week and really makes me stretch to meet her goals. Two weeks ago I got roped into running a 5K (my friend is on the board of the organization hosting the fundraiser) and I can't tell you how nervous I was about running it. I had myself convinced I'd come in dead last!. Coach Melissa was clear about how to run the race and with the gains I've made under her care, I actually came in 2nd in the Masters Division. Can't believe I spanked all those women 10 years+ younger than me!! Thanks Coach Melissa!! I'm really thinking she's going to get me to my goal! On to the marathon!!

Professional, poignant, and very proficient. With one simple exercise, I realized I had a flaw in leg conditioning which undoubtedly has been causing me grief and joint pain. Looking forward to working with her in the future.

I spent this last summer attempting to get healthy, but I struggled to manage my food intak, work out conistently, and see results I liked. Four months ago I took my weight loss goal seriously to get healthy and in shape for my sister's wedding. My trainer Melissa has been a complete blessing! She's helped me effectively track my food and kept me accountable for it. I've learned to eat what I want but still keep it healthy and within proportion. She pushes me physically and mentally to meet my goals in the gym. In the last four months I've lost over 30 lbs, three sizes, and countless inches. More importantly I have gained a renewed sense of self-confidence! Thank you, Melissa, for encouraging me every step of the way-I could not do it without you!
Since I met Melissa 2 years ago, I have seen a complete transformation of my body. I lost all the weight I set out to achieve AND am stronger physically now because Mel was there to egg me on, inspire me, motivate me and help me see the light at the end of the tunnell, between my huffing and puffing through each session. She has done for me what no other trainer I have ever had has done. And believe me when I say – "I have been through a lot of them" Mostly Melissa is excellent at keeping me motivated. She now knows me well enough to sense when my spirit lags or slows down. She knows when to push and when to ease up on the exercises she gives me. Most of the P/T's out there train by rote. In other words, they don't recognize the personal needs of each client. They are disconnected and mostly indifferent about the exercise programs they give you. You slowly become – "just another hour to go through until the next appointment…" Melissa is so personally involved with each of her clients, She is perceptive, instinctive and consistent. I am a very erratic, sometimes lazy exerciser. I cheat a lot on my diet and groan when my reps are ripping my muscles off and whine when weights are too heavy to lift. But Melissa doesn't hear any of it and just keeps powering the motor of my waning willpower. I need Melissa in my life. I am very lucky she answered my ad for a P/T – 2 years ago. Thank you Mel, from the bottom of my Nikes!
