Michelle Melendez Story

(Watch the video for a story of laughter and pain)

I told this story to a live audience of about 65 people. OMG!

I never thought I would EVER tell strangers how much I hated my body growing up and especially why I hated it.

Today, I’m free from the self-hatred I had in my youth and more confident in who I am and how much I love my body no matter what! I’d love to teach you how to feel this. I know you CAN live in a body you love!

I’ve been a fitness trainer since 1996. There’s NOTHING on the planet I’d rather do than teach women how to love their body and get the results they want!

  • ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association) Personal Training
  • SCW Personal Trainer
  • Resist-A-Ball® Personal Training

  • Senior Balance
  • Reebok Spin
  • R.I.P.P.E.D Trainer
  • Burn Bootcamp
  • Weight Loss Specialist

Michele testimonial about the weight loss program

You can do this, Michelle is there for you!

“Before this program I had little to no motivation to get healthy. I had gotten so used to being fat that I almost gave up on myself.Michelle has also opened my eyes to the idea that healthy living isn't just necessary, it's enjoyable. I would recommend this program if you struggle with motivation to be healthy and fit, if you have a hard time finding something positive and/or encouraging about yourself, and if you are finally ready to see yourself as the sexy, strong, confident woman you want to be. You can do this, Michelle is there for you!”

Pam testimonial about the weight loss program

I have lost 2 inches off my hips!

Before this program, I was uncomfortable in my body. I ate whatever I wanted to!  Now, I think about eating in a whole new way. I am never hungry, and I am no longer bloated. I have lost 2 inches off my hips and 1 inch off my waist! I have lost 8-10 pounds and more weight is coming off!There is some serious soul work that goes on when I work with Michelle!  I would especially recommend her to anyone who is feeling stuck.  She is a master of getting people unstuck!  She is a precious gift to me and I am so thankful I found her!

Thank you, Michelle, for your awesome videos and for your constant encouragement

I started super easy with this Move Toward Your Goal in the Rose Garden at Chico. The concept that Michelle continues to speak about, that of “no judgment” is more important than I realized. I can easily drop into a place of being shocked at how difficult it is for me to lift up the smallest weight while simultaneously lifting a leg. At 63, balance has become an issue for me. But, I stuck with the video, much as I was disappointed with my lack of balance/weakness. This was a short, doable workout and I think if I were to do it 4 to 5 times a week, I would see great improvement in my balance. I can do this! Thank you, Michelle, for your awesome videos and for your constant encouragement as you take us through these workouts and this program. I need this!
