About Guillermo

My name is Guillermo Melendez, but most people call me Memo for short. I am a Nationally certified personal trainer with NASM and Master Trainer for Zumba Fitness.

I have previously worked in Corporate Wellness for two years and looking to expand on Live and Virtual Trainings.


My favorite client story

Seeing the growth and personality development in my clients is always a real blessing. I once had client who had a very monotone personality and very onenote in the kindest way because he was very inside his shell. Over the course of 1 year he lost over 40 pounds in body fat, he waa more proactive in hearing other ways to express himself and open up to other people.

My favorite exercise

My favorite exercise has to be anything with glute work, and chest work so so Bench chest press and resistance bands clock lunges.

My favorite quote

Trainer like an athlete, eat like a nutritionist, sleep like a baby, win like a champion.

My training philosophy

My teaching philosophy is about rediscovery and learning through your mistakes, and the lessons that continue to surface
