“Working out with Melissa paired with healthy eating habits, I have lost over 16 inches total and have dropped 18 lbs. and have gained more muscle in ways I never thought I could. I have lived an active life and had just gotten off track for a few years and I am stronger in a different way than I ever have been. Not only is she all that I was looking for in a coach (motivational, encouraging, knowledgeable and professional), but also provides support, truly cares, and has made me feel more than comfortable the entire time I’ve trained with her. She has restored my love for working out as well as helped me gain my confidence back that I thought was long gone.”

“I have been working with Melissa as my personal trainer for 6 months now. She is truly amazing! She pushes me at every session to do my best. She is always positive and extremely motivating. Each session is different, which keeps things new and exciting. I have become someone who truly loves going to the gym and working out. I look forward to every session, and count down the days until the next one. At 42, I feel stronger than ever! I definitely recommend Melissa!”

“My fitness journey with Melissa began nearly 3 years ago. I initially sought her out with the intention of getting a little stronger, gaining some muscle mass and learning a few workout routines that I could do at home. I assumed I would work with her for a few months at most. As time progressed, I realized how truly valuable her coaching is! She has helped me meet nutrition goals as well as strength training goals in the time we have worked together. I am without a doubt the strongest and healthiest I have ever been in my life thanks to her. Melissa thinks up new and creative workouts for me every session. It is obvious she puts a lot of thought into every workout, and that she loves doing it. She provides excellent feedback to ensure I am doing my exercises properly and safely. I was so grateful she was able to transition to virtual workouts back in March. I am constantly amazed at how she thinks up ways to modify my home workouts and challenge me using my limited equipment. Mel’s coaching style makes me look forward to my weekly workouts and helps keep me accountable to make time for myself and my health.”

“I have bought 10 fitness training sessions with Melissa and now I have bought another 10 sessions. She is amazing. I told her my goals and she has stuck with them. She is very creative with workouts. We do workouts that I have never done before. She looks at your posture and fixes the posture if needed. Melissa really looks out for you. She gives advice about meals and helps on days you don’t have session with a workout plan to keep your goals going. We laugh, we have fun and we stay focused! I can go on and on about her. I recommend her for a trainer; she really has the passion for working out. Passion is everything. She definitely has it.”

“In working with Melissa through the healthy reset program, personal coaching and personal fitness training I learned how to set and achieve goals resulting in major changes in my life. I am healthier, happier and stronger as a result of her unique combination of firm yet gentle insistence on remaining accountable to myself and to my goals. I highly recommend Melissa as a coach and a fitness trainer. I have implemented exercise and nutrition systems into my daily life that are now established habits I look forward to rather than the dreaded chores they used to be. Melissa helped me change my outlook and created the mental shift that was necessary for me to make changes in my life.”

“Melissa is professional and pushes me to do my best but she is not intimidating. She always makes me feel comfortable and keeps the workouts varied so they are enjoyable and never boring. I highly recommend her as a consummate fitness professional.”

“I love working out with Coach Melissa at Florida Fitness Concepts! Her vast knowledge, passion and motivating spirit has helped me reach new heights on my fitness journey. Melissa’s attention to personalized fitness training and form are incredible. I highly recommend Melissa if you are seeking to live out your healthiest and strongest life. Healthy = Happy.”

“I have been working with Melissa since November 2018. When we started our workouts, my joints hurt daily and my range of motion was limited. Four months later, I have the tools to keep moving, stretching my achy muscles and my joints no longer ache. I plan to continue working out with Melissa”

“I’ve been training with Melissa for several years. She has been incredibly focused on my particular needs and I have seen positive results. When you’re training with Melissa you have all of her attention. Melissa has it all covered, the physical training, as well as the mental and nutritional aspects of a healthy lifestyle. I love her positive and encouraging attitude!”

“I have achieved much better muscle tone, especially in my problem areas of arms and tummy. Melissa is a great cheerleader for me and helps me to focus and do the exercise properly. She knows exactly how to keep me challenged and is an expert on the human body from her education and decades of training experience. Melissa is very kind, caring and easy to talk to. I love training with Melissa in the privacy of her home, only a few homes away from mine. She is a delight to work with. She pushes me with ease to do my best work in her gym. I strongly recommend Melissa to anyone looking to tone and tighten their bodies plus I am on a weight loss journey, as well. You will be so happy you called her.”

“In the past year, I’ve been gaining strength and muscles. Melissa is always sharing ideas and recipes to help her clients eat more healthy meals. Melissa is always coaching on how to do the exercises properly which I greatly appreciate. She is concerned about proper form during exercises. And ultimately making sure I am not doing something in a way that will cause an injury. I don’t like going to a gym to work out. Being able to do an exercise class in my home on zoom is perfect for me. I get 1-1 attention in the privacy of my home. It’s as if Melissa is standing right next to me. I notice that when i am working out by myself…it is easier to do less reps than when Melissa is watching me. I am always motivated to complete the reps when Melissa is coaching me (must be my competitive nature coming out!).”

“Working with Melissa, I Increased motivation to live a healthier life, lost 20 pounds, and my cholesterol went down 39 points in a year. She makes it fun, she is very motivating, and knows what she’s talking about. During the pandemic I gradually fell into unhealthy habits which led to weighing more than I’d ever weighed before, discouragement and depression because, being in my mid-50s, I thought it was too late to get healthy. From the first session with Melissa, I felt encouraged that it was not too late and I could change my health and my body. She also helped me with changing my eating to more healthier eating, gave me some great recipes, and eating/food hacks to make eating healthy easier. She taught me that I didn’t have to eat perfectly or work out perfectly, but consistency is the key. I’ve had to take a break from training with Melissa for a while and I have missed her encouragement, teaching, pushing me, and laughing with me.”
