Fighting Lupus
To say I owe Melissa a thank you is quite the understatement. Gratitude. Endless Gratitude. I am finally in control of my body and my health.
Melissa has changed my life in a number of ways and I cannot possibly limit it to a paragraph, but here goes a try. My body was in shambles when I met you. Three years post Lupus diagnosis and I was in absolute confusion in how to keep my body working properly.
I started personal training with Melissa and within a week, the changes in my diet made my body feeling stronger than it had been in months! Also, she guided me from the basic exercises, and the basics was all I thought I was capable of. Doing push-ups, running on the treadmill, lifting heavier weights, I thought that was all completely impossible. But she made my body a weapon against Lupus, not a participant.
Slowly, I was able to bend without falling over, walk a mile without my joints swelling, run around the gym in circles with weights and doing real push-ups
I traveled to NYC like I dreamed and walked from my Fifth Ave apt. all the way to Central Park. I did not take one taxi while there. Also, she provided exercises to keep me fit while I was away. My body became the tool, the weight lift, the 5’3 cardio machine!

Melissa is an awesome trainer. She takes the time to study your body and point out your strengths and weaknesses. She has helped me to work on my core strength and improve my posture.
I like her approach to breaking down exercises in simple steps to make sure when you pull it all together that you are in the correct form. She also keeps you accountable for your workouts, cardio and diet.

Amazing! With Coach Melissa’s exercise program, I have accomplished my 12 week goals! My posture, balance, core and strength have greatly improved!
My weaker left side has gotten much stronger and more aligned as well as increased my balance test score by over 1 minute. I’m also enjoying and have become better at my favorite activity, water skiing!

Melissa has been working with my mother (she’s in her late 70’s) for several years. My mom adores her! I truly believe that without Melissa’s help and guidance, my mom would not be doing nearly as well as she is. Melissa is reliable and truly cares about her clients. I highly recommend this fitness program!- Lisa Heller
