About Me

My fitness career began in 1998 when my Taekwondo teacher asked me to teach the 8 pm women's kickboxing class. That's when my love for teaching fitness began. A few years later, I purchased a fitness franchise called "StrollerFit - Exercise With Your Baby!" It included programs such as Restore the Core and Baby Bootcamp. Over the years, I have been so fortunate to have gained a clientele that consists of the older and wiser population, and I have trained many in their 70s and 80s. Over the last 25 years, I have received certifications in various fitness modalities. Every year, I attend the IDEA World Fitness Convention, where I gain new educational opportunities to learn about the latest fitness research.

In my personal life, I have two beautiful daughters, two dogs, and one amazing husband. We enjoy bike rides, dog walks, and home-cooked meals.

I'm not on social media, but if you would like to get to know me better, please message me to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.

“Melissa is the reason why my 50’s have been the most healthy and fit time of my life. She is truly empathetic and nurturing, all the while kicking my butt.”

These are some of the fitness tools I use to keep your workouts fun, fresh, challenging, and super effective.

“I have been doing core work in my home under Melissa’s guidance for 5 years. I have never felt and looked better!”
