I had been working out with Melissa for about 7 months before the gym closed due to covid. I was extremely excited when she announced her remote sessions. They work well for my schedule and save me from having to travel to the gym (and the traffic that comes along). I have to admit I was initially fooled by how simple some of the movements she had me do seemed, but we spent time building correct form, and progressively the movements got more difficult. The most amazing thing is that I not only became better at doing the movements, I also became stronger (even sweated during my workouts). She knows her stuff and can easily adapt or suggest movements to focus on targeted areas, but whole body fitness is an important part of her program. Thanks to her planning and motivation, my fitness goals have become better integrated into my overall lifestyle.

“Melissa is absolutely the best! She helped me get healthy and fit after having my first baby and trained me through my second pregnancy. She’s ALWAYS positive, uplifting and encouraging. I look forward to all of our sessions and I always feel great after. I hope she never leaves the Chicago area because I’d like to train with her forever!"

I started training with Melissa virtually during the pandemic. As the mom of a 3 year old, it's always hard to make time to go to the gym or find time for myself. Training with Melissa gives me a fun, challenging, and personalized workout at home. I am proud to show my son that I am making the time to keep myself healthy.

I’ve been with Melissa for almost three years.I began with much hesitation and resistance to any trainer who would meet my needs as a Senior Citizen. I was fortunate to find Melissa and encouraged by her solid reputation. Melissa has the ability of working witth the individual who is searching for a routine by using a cooperative approach with her clients. It's an on going dialogue with Melissa, not only in planning but also during the exercises which keeps me on track. Best of all, I have witnessed results with improved posture, balance and cardio.
I recommend Meiissa if your area looking for encougement and motiation to get started.

“When I started training with Melissa, I couldn't do a push-up. I had probably never done a push-up before. Melissa started with me from step one and through her program, a combination of strength training and cardio, helped me lose 60 lbs. Melissa always keeps it fun (even in virtual training) and holds me accountable to my goals. And, yes, I can now do a push-up, and way more than I ever thought I could!”

“I was thrilled to hear that Melissa was starting her own fitness business. I have known her as my personal trainer for well over two years before the pandemic. I have had many trainers over the years, and no one has compared. She focuses not only on strength and fitness, but balance as we age and life movement (so as to prevent injury and falls which so often come with age). Additionally, she individualizes a program just for you and frequent checks to make sure your fitness goals are being met, as well as if the previous workout caused pain or discomfort. I find her so responsive to my fitness needs that I am pleased to endorse her without reservation.”

Melissa is great! Very professional and wants only the best for her clients.
She will work with you to help you achieve your goals. Working with Melissa far exceeded my expectations of working with a trainer. She knows how to keep you motivated to do better for yourself.

Hiring Melissa was a game changer for me. I'm generally healthy, but was on/off about working out until now. In-home training with Melissa removes hurdles & excuses...
-- no more travel time or working around a gym's class schedule -- working out becomes easy to fit into the week's schedule;
-- no boredom -- every session is different;
-- no burn out -- workouts are tailored to your goals; and
-- no injuries -- Mel tailors each workout to your body (a feat in my case, because I have a partially fused spine) and makes real-time adjustments if a movement isn't working for me.
Melissa also has a keen sense of whether I'm ready for a challenge or need confidence building, which has done wonders for my motivation. She excels at organization and communication and is just fun to be around... my husband and I laugh our way through our sessions. Highly recommend!

At 51 and having never done regular gym or workout classes, I was a little worried about at home personal training. I am happy to say it has been the best health decision my wife and I have made. Also, given that we both have busy schedules, having Mel come to our house makes it really easy to carve out 2-3 hours a week without driving somewhere. Mel tailors every workout to address our personal needs and goals. I really feel like Mel is adding years to our lives and we are so grateful! Thanks Mel.

I loved working with Melissa! As a mother of 2 under 2 and struggling with weight and energy, I reached out to my gym to connect me with a personal trainer. During my consultation I had explained that I needed to lose weight, build muscle and gain energy. I also shared that I was never a "gym type" so I wasn't familiar/comfortable with exercise equipment and had trouble incorporating exercising as part of my normal routine. Immediately, they recommended Melissa as she had training with working with pregnant women and postpartum moms. As soon as I met with her, I was at ease. Our first chat was all about who I was, what I was dealing with as a mom, what I'm comfortable/uncomfortable with and where I wanted to be. That alone did it for me. Not everyone coming into the gym has been going to the gym for years and can jump right into a burpee. She truly listened to my situation and created a program that would fit me. Throughout my time with her, the plan was clear and direct. I felt like I was in control and she was there with support and also to give me the push I needed. Needless to say, I lost weight and gained my energy. I was stronger and able to carry my toddlers with more ease. I would highly recommend Melissa if you're looking for someone to not only be your trainer but truly your partner in achieving your exercise goals.

I’ve done in home personal training with Melissa for almost a year. It’s really helped me work some fitness into my chaotic and unbalanced life which never seemed possible. She’s the consistency in my life when things are rocky. She is a genuine and caring, non judgmental person. She’ll help you meet your goals!
Read More
Melissa’s training has been such a great addition to my workouts. She’s a great listener and an even better motivator. I appreciate that she trusts me to know my limits and always has an alternative that will get the job done without compromising the end goal.
She is her own one women hype team! She doesn’t hold back her praise when I nail a set. The excitement she has for you and your accomplishments is contagious and really helps get through her planned workouts-which never disappoint!
Two words for you: HIRE HER!

Melissa is an excellent personal trainer and would highly recommend her for anyone looking to improve fitness, athletic performance, and overall lifestyle. She is knowledgeable of the current concepts and latest research in personal training. She brings a positive, fun energy that highly motivates her clients.

Melissa is the best! She always was thoughtful and prepared as she guided my workouts and, while pushing me to my limit, was always mindful there were limits out there. I would heartily recommend her without hesitation to anyone needing a trainer for all levels of experience from beginner to expert.

Melissa is a joy to work with. She is attentive and incredibly knowledgeable about her profession, she has altered workouts on the spot to deal with chronic pain that flares up at different intervals and spots. She paces the workouts so well that you won’t even notice how you got to twice the reps or weight. I believe she can help anybody at almost any level, but if you’re starting out or just getting back into it, I would truly recommend Melissa because she will help you build the motivation to keep going. We discuss fitness as a wholistic approach in life, that includes our relationship with food, sleep, stress levels and she has a lot to say on the subject. It’s always great to work with somebody who has found a true calling in life.

From the moment I first started talking to Melissa about changing up my fitness routine, she very attentively listened to my goals. I have been training for 15+ years and she still was able to craft personalized workout plans that helped me take my training to the next level. 🙂

Melissa is amazing and great for all skill levels! She’s patient, funny, very knowledgeable and always pushing you a little further just when you need it. I 100% recommend Melissa for anyone needing help reaching their fitness goals from beginner to expert.

When my daughter was old enough to join our gym, she was very intimated and apprehensive, that's when we met Melissa and she immediately bonded with her. Melissa was so amazing with her, she made it fun and really motivated her. She taught her proper form, how to plan her fitness routine and pushed her to challenge herself. She was also a mentor to her for healthy living and positive body image, which is hard to do with a teenage girl. We really feel that Melissa helped set her up for a lifetime of physical fitness, best investment for our daughter we've done! We highly recommend!!

Melissa is amazing! I’m an overweight man in my 30’s with a long history of on-again, off-again relationships with physical training programs. I always start strong, but eventually find myself burnt out by workout programs that aren’t geared towards me. Working with Melissa is the best decision I’ve made for my health and I cannot recommend her enough! She aligns her trainings with my needs, goals and ability and creates personalized workouts that are challenging in the right ways. I love her personalized approach and genuine care for her clients! Do yourself a favor, and work with Melissa!

Melissa is a terrific personal trainer with whom I have worked for more than two years. She evaluates your situation and fitness needs, and then tailors your routine to address them. Always flexible in arranging training sessions, I am able to keep up my workouts when traveling or adding conflicting activities to my schedule. You won't make a mistake using Melissa as your coach and personal trainer.
Read More
I have been training with Melissa for several years now. During the first few sessions, she developed a fitness program specifically for me and my health needs: stability and range of motion. The other trainers I have experienced made some small adaptations to their standard fitness programs to accommodate my particular needs. Melissa's program for me, and her attitude toward accommodating the needs of her clients is distinctly different from and far better than any I have experienced. I hope to be a client of hers for my life.

Melissa is a great personal trainer and a great person. She has such a friendly personality and disposition that it was immediately clear that we would get along to achieve my goals of getting active again. She actually sits and listens if you have concerns or issues with any exercises you do. This was very important to me since I have a long history of back injuries, but she was able to tailor all our workouts to accommodate my comfort level and ramp me up over time. I highly recommend her as a personal trainer and believe she is one of the best in the business.

I trained with Melissa for 5 months and had a better experience than I could have ever imagined! In those 5 months I learned so much about how to properly exercise my body, strength training and health in general. Melissa truly cares about each of her clients' individual goals and makes every effort to tailor programs to each clients' specific wants and needs. She is one of the friendliest and most personable people I've ever met, which makes training with her that much more enjoyable! Whether you're a beginner and wanting to make the first move on your fitness journey or are looking for extra help in any area of your program, I could not recommend Move with Melissa enough. I made the decision to move with Melissa and it has truly changed my life for the better!

I was nervous about finding a good trainer, I'm just an average individual looking to improve my health and not an athlete or "fitness nut". I was looking for a trainer who can keep it fun and keep me motivated while working with my goals in mind. And Melissa has been the perfect fit, she tailors everything to my specific goals and is always adding variety to keep things fun. Plus the convenience of in-home training removes gym-anxiety and ensures I can fit my workouts into my busy schedule. Melissa is friendly, professional, communicates well and is a partner in improving my health.

Melissa is the best! My wife and I have been training together with her for close to a year now and we've loved her coaching style - it's precise and professional, and always positive and fun. We've gained strength, agility and body awareness we definitely wouldn't have if left to our own devices. She has designed great personalized workouts for us and is always checking in to make sure the program is effective and enjoyable. Can't recommend her enough!

Melissa is incredible. She helped me this summer address some muscle imbalances I have and it has drastically changed my performance in my regular physical hobbies (rock climbing, hiking, cycling & weightlifting). I have an extensive background in weightlifting and have had many coaches over the years when I’ve competed. Within 2 session, melissa pointed out an imbalance in my pelvis and gave me a few simple exercise to begin correcting it. Accessory work has been part of my fitness routine for years. But the exercises she gave me I had never been shown before and they provided me with a night and day difference in some of the issues I was having. I cannot recommend her enough. Her energy is so positive and supportive and she is incredible knowledgeable. Do not hesitate to go see her!

We cannot recommend Melissa enough. After a car accident in August, I decided it was time to make some healthier life decisions- we don’t heal like we used to!! My husband was excited to join this adventure as well. So Melissa now comes to our home for in home training twice a week. She worked closely with my physical therapist and really catered the work outs to both of us. She also finished her training in nutrition and so, every week or so, we make healthier tweaks to our diet. My husband and I are both 48 and definitely gained weight in the pandemic. We feel lucky to have found Melissa to help us in our journey. We both appreciate Melissa’s approach: this is not a sprint but a lifestyle change that will be long lasting. Melissa is upbeat, personable, funny and very motivating. You will not go wrong by choosing to work with her.

Melissa is an excellent personal trainer! She considers your overall lifestyle and goals when designing workouts so that you can develop strength and awareness to work out safely and grow. My husband and I both train with her and we both have become considerably stronger, more fit and more confidant in just a few months. Melissa works with you at whatever level you're at and the results are real. She brings a healthy, patient approach to all of our sessions. I highly recommend working with her!
We trained together through my pregnancy and are still training together now, 6 months post partum. Melissa was careful to check in with me to make sure that our workouts were doable for how I was feeling each day. From the nausea, to the tired hips, she found ways to keep my body healthy and strong. It made pregnancy more comfortable and helped my body feel ready for labor and recovery. After birth, she was so careful to help my pelvic floor recover and I'm now back to jogging and lifting weights. I cannot recommend her prenatal and post natal training highly enough. She is so considerate of the ebbs and flows of pregnancy and health!

Melissa has been a great personal trainer, with an emphasis on the personal part. She puts in a lot of effort to make sure you get training tailored to you and your needs. She has you work hard, but also makes it a lot of fun. I highly recommend!

Working with Melissa has been such a great experience and one of the best things I could’ve done for myself. I am 28-year-old former collegiate athlete that was completely burnt out with fitness, so much so that once I stopped playing sports, working out ceased all together. When I started looking for personal trainers, it was important that I found one who could help me regain my confidence in the gym and would focus on overall wellness, not just numbers. This led to me finding Melissa and seeing her once a week with my mom (59). What a breath of fresh air working with her has been! Not only are the workouts tailored to our individual goals and needs, but she is such a positive person that keeps the sessions fun and engaging. My mom and I have separate injuries/pain and she’s been very knowledgeable about different exercises we should do and always keeps an eye on our form. She listens and is intentional with her workouts/plans, something I really appreciate.
I’ve worked with a lot of coaches and trainers in the past and can say with certainty Melissa has been the best. She has not only helped me physically (balance, strength, cardio), but mentally as well. I now look forward to working out and get excited for our sessions. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personal trainer, you won’t regret it!
