Success stories

" Melissa is SUPER AWESOME! When I came to her, I had a goal of getting in better shape. She took the time to get to know my goals, tailored a plan that helped maximize the effects of training, and guided me each step of the way. She took the time to discuss various aspects of my life to design a plan that fit me, not just the mythical “somebody”. I would highly recommend Melissa. "

"Melissa was put in my life at the exact moment when I needed her. She has helped me surpass my goal weight, feel better about myself, eat cleaner and overall live a healthier lifestyle.

I’m a different person than who I was before I met Melissa. Yes, I did it myself but I would not have done it without Melissa support, friendship, love (sometimes even tough love!) and accountability. She believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself.

I’m so thankful Melissa has been on this journey with me to become a better version of myself."

" I am one of Melissa’s yoga students and really enjoy Melissa’s yoga classes. One of her venues is a big fitness center near my neighborhood. She is creative with different types off classes on different days of the week. On Tuesdays, she would present ancient history lessons that would tie to her class themes. Beyond just knowledge, Melissa is also accomplished at performing the physical poses. Her demeanor is very welcoming and uplifting. Her presence is delightful. Students welcome her wherever she goes. "

"I am a 60 year old manual therapist with a very busy practice and an important need to stay strong. Leaning over a treatment table all day decreases strength and weakens the core. I tried Pilates for 3 years and continued to have tremendous pain throughout the day despite going twice a week and doing daily mat exercises.

I met Melissa and really liked her approach to strengthening. She was so positive, encouraging and very intuitive. I hired her for personal training in my home and I attend her classes at Reefpointyoga.com. My first training session she said so you have heart and core issues. So true!! She taught me headstand and now I can do it away from the wall! She keeps progressing me weekly. she taught me some really amazing core exercises and free weights. I keep getting stronger and stronger.
Each week I look forward to playing with Melissa in getting me stronger. She is truly a healer in every way. She makes exercise so fun! Her enthusiasm and positive attitude is so encouraging. I am so thankful we met. She has changed my life."

"My kids and I love Melissa! I started personal training with her right after the birth of my third child, about 2 years ago when I was working on getting the baby weight off. I really struggled with getting the last 15 pounds off, but Melissa gave me a lot of advice on healthy eating, and after I changed the way I ate, the weight came off fast.

As a physician I have a hectic schedule, and she has always been very flexible with her schedule. My three children always look forward to Melissa coming over to our house to exercise. They participate in our work out sessions too. I’ve always hated exercising, and think it’s boring. I’ve joined gyms before but wouldn’t really go since it’s not an enjoyable experience. I love how Melissa comes to our house, and makes exercise more fun since I get to play with my kids at the same time. She is very down to earth.
I definitely would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a personal trainer or advice on eating healthier"

"Melissa makes every workout enjoyable and fun!  She knows how to push you in a positive way.  On the days I am not very motivated to workout, when I am finished I feel so great.  She has not only gotten me back into physical shape but my mental health has improved as well!!!" 

 
“I always knew that a healthy outside started from having a healthy inside, but it was not until I met Melissa that I learned exactly what this actually meant. I am a high school senior now preparing to apply for college, but when I started the 8-week program with Melissa, I was just a naive Junior living with ignorance towards how I treat my body.
Melissa helped me realize that there is more to life than just mechanically doing what we are told to do (in my case, neglecting sleep to get good grades). She opened a door to a brighter way of life for me by teaching me specific habits and ensuring that I would never fall back from them. These habits completely altered the way I saw my world and I was just happier with myself in general.
In my case, weight was less of a problem than overall physical and mental well-being, but joining the program immediately blew away all my insecurities in the blink of an eye (and I did end up losing ten pounds as a bonus!). She coached me on both how to fix my eating and exercise habits down to the smallest details as well as how to deal with my load of school work and extracurriculars.
The overall experience was magnificent and the habits have truly stuck with me! I loved Melissa’s holistic and comfortable approach so much that it kept pushing me to follow her steps no matter what temptations came knocking at my door. I will always be thankful for the many golden advices she gave me and will enjoy my greatly enlightened college life in the upcoming years thanks to this experience! "

 
"I like training because I used to not be confident in the gym, and when I have someone there to help me do my workouts and tell me what to do it makes working out much more enjoyable and less stressful.  It's also nice to have someone to talk to while you're working out, so you don't have to think you just do whatever Melissa tells you to do! It's great and one of the best decisions I've made."

“I like the fact the workouts are very challenging so I have to push myself.  And the routines have lots of variation so I don’t get bored”

She is the Best..!!

I feel very Lucky to have Mel as my Coach.

Her Understanding about food, human body and Fitness is remarkable.

Before Working with her, I was working very hard for 2Hrs in the gym every day, And Tried many kinds of crazy diets that makes you starve in order to loose wait. But It only resulted into more frustration over the time.

When I started Working with Mel, She made me understand my relationship with my food.

She taught me how to eat right and loose wait instead of starving yourself.

she taught me how to work out right and enjoy the work out instead of just sweating for Hrs in the gym.

Her sense of deep understanding and caring nature made me feel as if my fitness goals were her personal goals.

She made my journey towards fitness so much fun and easier.I could not have achieved my fitness goals without her.

Thank you Mel you are the Best Coach…!! 

”Melissa, thank you so much for teaching me how to appreciate food, how a fuel my body and being present in the moment while eating.  I have learned how to pay attention to what my body needs.  I no longer stock my pantry with junk.  I have learned how to eat clean even when out on the town with friends.   

My body feels so much better.  Specifically, my gut.  I have lost weight which is great but the way I feel is the blessing!”

“Training with Melissa is like working out with your best friend!  She knows what you are capable of (even when you don’t) and will encourage you and push you to do your very best.  Melissa is truly passionate about fitness and nutrition, and really cares about her clients! “

Melissa is an awesome coach who has helped me with a long overdue lifestyle change.  She introduced me to Ayurveda practices and how to make it a part of my daily routine.  It was extremely helpful receiving new recipes, meeting weekly to talk about health practices, and her being accessible to answer questions.  She showed me that this is not part of a “fad diet” but a transformation to make healthy choices that are sustainable.  I recently went a step further and had her help me become more disciplined in my workouts.  We set a goal during the first session and each week she challenged me to set the bar higher and higher.  While I am still at the very early stages, I am very pleased with the results.  Melissa’s down to earth approach and sincere desire to share her knowledge of the practices is a gift that you have to experience when considering a personal instructor.  

Melissa is one of my favorite people. Not only is she a good friend, she is also a great yoga instructor. Teaching with humor and humility, she challenges you to find your boundary and push just a bit past it. Not only do you feel a sense of accomplishment, but you improve with each and every class. At the end of your session, when you are a sweaty, exhausted mess, you leave already looking forward to the next one. I know I’m in very capable and caring hands when she is my teacher.
