When I first started working with Melle, I had no idea what to expect. I was at a point that I was putting in so much work in the gym and my results just didn’t match. I was frustrated and lost. I was doing an excessive amount of cardio every week and relying on my fitness pal for my macros. She was extremely supportive from the beginning and was available to answer any questions I had. Working with Melle, I was able to understand macronutrients on another level. Not only was I able to cut a ton of body fat, I didn’t lose all my muscle in the process. I learned that it was in a marathon, not a race. Not only did she help with my nutrition, she created a workout plan catered around my body type!

I’ll be honest, I’ve always been nervous to start Melle’s program, but once I did, inches started melting off and I saw the confidence flourish! I gave her my goals and she formulated my program. She laid out everything for me; it was a little tough in the beginning because my body had to adapt to the changes, but once I got the hang of the program, I fell in love with the process. I had to learn will power and since my results were so noticeable, i didn’t want to cheat on my plan. As you can see, my goal was to lose fat, and that’s exactly what the program I’m following is doing!

Through FitMelle’s leadership and motivational skills I was able to gain/bulk over 20 pounds, while building muscle mass in the process.

She provides customized training based on my needs, not a one-size-fits-all training plan that may or may not work. She learned my body type and built a very detailed plan to assist me in reaching my goals. I was finally working out with purpose and actually seeing the results I wanted.

The greatest lesson I’ve learned on this journey has been that consistency is key. When I first started working with Melle, she said that the time would pass anyway, so why not use it wisely and get fit? I took that to heart, but the problem was that I never found the right ‘why,’ the thing that would keep me going when I felt like giving up. I wanted it for my son and my health, but that was never enough. Until I started doing this for Joslyn, for ME…I continued to fail. So, I started doing all the things I had learned from Melle. I ate multiple meals throughout the day, focused on my macros, drank tons of water, got plenty of rest. I assessed my body type and adjusted my methods accordingly.  I worked out when I didn’t feel like it, and I held myself accountable. Finally, I have reached a point in this journey where I am proud of the woman I see in the mirror, and I regained confidence I believed was lost forever. I can honestly say that these lessons learned from Melle have been life-changing, and I am never going back.
