“I’ve been going to Mel’s core hiit class for a while now and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for! Great structure to the class, she gets to know everyone and their individual needs, tons of energy and enthusiasm to keep everyone motivated. And always happy to offer advice. Doing Mel’s workouts has pushed me out of the plateau-zone and honestly made such a difference. Can’t recommend her more.”

“Mel has totally changed my approach to conditioning and fitness, with a huge focus on training to strengthen all the parts of the body I need to do the sports that I want to do. I started to work with Mel because I slipped a disc in my back and was unable to run or play football without muscle pulls and pain. I chose Mel because she has a similar background and profile to me: I felt she "got" what I wanted and how my body worked. Quickly she also worked out how my mind worked too and devised workouts that kept me guessing, challenged me with new ideas and always keeping me motivated.
Over 8 months, we've progressed with weekly sessions to the point where I am now back playing sport and my back pain is reduced. I have a much better understanding of how to train to prevent injury and my own private training sessions have incorporated lots of her exercises. Over time, I've got significantly stronger and taken on more and more exercises that I would have never dreamed of doing on my own. Mel's mix of dynamic, technical and strength work has been awesome - I'd give up lots of my weekly expenses before I gave up Mel! Annoyingly, anything she asks you to do, she can do herself.. and then some. She talks the talk and walks the walk.”

“I had injured my ankle playing football a year ago and was desperate to play again so I met up with Mel. She gave me a unique workout which not only helped strengthen and improve mobility for my ankle but also improved my all round core strength. I can now play football again, which is great!!”

“Mel is absolutely brilliant, she listens to what you want and helps you achieve your goals. She is very realistic and takes all your needs into consideration. I love how she even throws in extra recommendations. She is always looking to improve performance but careful not to overextend. The sessions are easily the fastest 60 mins of my week; well paced and enjoyable.”
— Sharifa Semambo, PT client
“Mel is fantastic. Even when I don't have anymore energy left she still motivates me to workout through pain and exhaustion. She also has great sense of humour and her classes are very enjoyable. She also makes sure that exercises are done properly which makes all the difference.”
— Izabela Pas, LBT Class Member
“Excellent trainer, lost weight and gained a fitness buddy. Highly recommend. Thank you Mel for your professional passion.”
— Kellie Lynch, PT client
“I really enjoyed my time training with Mel. I mostly wanted to work on my legs with Mel since I had a chronic knee pain . I also wanted her to help me introduce dynamism to my workout routines. By the end of our sessions, my knee pain was hardly there. Half way through I was able to play soccer without much pain at all. The variety of exercises we did got me much fitter and stronger all round. I also feel much more confident in the gym now.
I feel I am at my most fit place physically after those sessions, and I had been going to the gym 3-4 times a week for at least two years before Mel.”
