About Melissa

Hi! I'm Melissa and I've been personal training for almost nine years. My passion is helping busy women build a sustainable fitness routine without having to completely change their daily routine. That's why I offer online and in home sessions. I believe fitness should work with your lifestyle and a short workout is better than not doing one at all. 


My favorite client story

Not one specific story but I love seeing a clients progression physically and mentally. My favorite thing is when a female client is finally able to do her first push up! The look on their face is always priceless.

My favorite exercise

Bulgarian split squats. I have a love hate relationship with them but nothing has ever targeted my glutes as well as they do

My favorite quote

You will never feel ready because ready isn’t an emotion it’s an action!

My training philosophy

Do the best you can that day and don’t beat yourself up if it doesn’t go as planned. Training has its ups and downs and is synonymous with life so as long as you go with the flow, do your best, and stay consistent you will always see results!

My training experience

I have been personal training almost nine years but training myself for over a decade. I have trained people of all shapes, sizes, and health issues. I’ve trained clients in their homes or outside with minimal equipment and also worked in commercial gyms. No matter what your goals are I can help you reach them.
