  • I had the pleasure of working with Lauren Mantha, the newest personal trainer of Melrose Training. She guided me through a full body workout with dumbbells. Lauren was so welcoming and very knowledgeable about form. I would absolutely train with Lauren/Melrose training again. I love their philosophy and the trainers are amazing.

The Melrose Method

How We Help You Build Lasting Results

Most fitness programs fail because they push women to do too much, too fast, in a way that doesn’t fit their real lives. The Melrose Method was created to change that - a proven approach to strength training that’s supportive, structured, and designed to actually last.

  • MELROSE TRAINING

    Strength-based, full-body training:

    Low-impact, high-results workouts to help you build real strength, resilience, and energy - in and out of the gym.

  • MELROSE METHOD

    Feel-good movement:

    Foster a positive relationship with fitness beyond just burning calories, without giving up the things you love. No endless cardio, no punishment, no drill-sergeant coaching.

  • MELROSE METHOD

    Programs that fit your life:

    Flexible options for in-studio and live virtual training - designed for real women with busy AF schedules.

  • MELROSE METHOD

    Expert coaching & accountability:

    You’ll work 1-on-1 with a trainer who guides you every step of the way, so you never feel lost or stuck.

  • MELROSE METHOD

    Results you can see and feel:

    100+ 5-star reviews and hundreds of client success stories since 2019.

Why Strength Training?

Because it’s the one workout that actually changes how you feel - inside and out. Strength training builds muscle that keeps your metabolism working for you, helps you feel stronger in everyday life, and gives you the kind of intensity that works up a sweat without leaving you burnt out. It’s low impact, built for longevity, and it finally feels like a workout you can stick with.

Meet Mel

PERSONAL TRAINER & FOUNDER

Supports all clients with calls, check-in’s & more.

TBH, I used to use any excuse to skip gym class? I wasn’t always active. My fitness journey started as a total beginner. At first, I was stuck in a cycle of endless HIIT and cardio, wondering why I felt drained instead of strong. Then I found strength training, and everything changed.

That shift inspired Melrose Training to help women ditch extremes, embrace confidence, and build routines that actually last. With my background as a former full-time Registered Nurse and a passion for activewear, I bring a balanced, expert-driven approach to fitness that’s all about feeling good, inside and out.

As the Founder, I work closely with the Melrose Training team and personally join all client consults, kickoff calls, and check-ins, providing an added layer of support in your fitness journey.

Let’s build your strongest self, on your terms.

  • “I always feel comfortable but challenged and leave each session feeling energized.”

    “Training with Mayra has been amazing - she is super knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging! I really enjoy each of our sessions at the gym - I always feel comfortable but challenged and leave each session feeling energized. I highly recommend working with Mayra!”

    - Personal Training Client ★★★★★

  • "Mayra makes workouts approachable and fun, while ensuring I work up a sweat and am making progress towards my goals."

    “Personal Training with Mayra from MELROSE Training has been game-changing for me. She makes workouts approachable and fun, while ensuring I work up a sweat and am making progress towards my goals. After just a month, I already feel stronger and am noticing positive changes in both my mental and physical health.

    It feels like muscles that have been asleep (or weren't activated properly from group fitness classes) are finally waking up and it feels so good! I HIGHLY recommend working with Mayra. You'll be so supported by her and Mel in your fitness journey.”

    - Personal Training Client ★★★★★

  • "A meaningful impact on my lifestyle and daily mindset."

    “I’ve been training with Mayra at the King West studio through Melrose Training for about six weeks now, and it’s already made a meaningful impact on my lifestyle and daily mindset. I originally joined with the goal of building muscle, improving flexibility, and feeling healthier overall—and I’m genuinely starting to notice progress in all those areas.

    What I really appreciate about Melrose Training is their focus on sustainable wellness & training. They celebrate even the small wins, keep me accountable, and help me stay energized and motivated for every session. The studio itself is beautiful and super convenient if you’re based in downtown Toronto.”

    - Personal Training Client ★★★★★

  • "Getting back into a solid routine with Cherise and Mel has been a seamless transition."

    “I've been training with Cherise through MELROSE Training for the last few months. I am constantly feeling challenged in my workouts and supported on days where I am not feeling 100%.

    I originally came in with a more "short term goal", but Mel and Cherise are focused on building movement into my routine (whether big or small), so that the habit becomes attainable and natural in the long term. I am excited to continue my fitness/wellness journey with them”

    - Personal Training Client ★★★★★

  • "I've done a lot of home workouts, but personal training with Mayra tops them all."

    We focus on glutes, my overall form, and mobility, and I leave with more energy that I come in with. Mayra is so uplifting and knowledgeable - I don't have to think about what I'm doing, she prepares my program based on my goals, and I am totally supported the whole way through.

    - Personal Training Client ★★★★★

  • "I wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but by the end of our session I felt completely energized and so much more connected to my body. "

    After just one session with Cherise, I was surprised by how motivated and confident I felt. Cherise has such a supportive and empowering energy - she pushes you in all the right ways while making you feel capable every step of the way. I genuinely left feeling excited to come back and train again. Can’t recommend her enough!

    - Personal Training Client ★★★★★

  • "I’ve had a wonderful experience with MELROSE!"

    Cherise creates personalized plans that leave me feeling more energized after every session.

    - Personal Training Client ★★★★★

  • "I’ve always been into HIIT and cardio, but I wanted to start incorporating more weight training."

    I’ve always been into HIIT and cardio, but I wanted to start incorporating more weight training. The Founder, Mel, introduced me to Cherise who is amazing!! So knowledgeable, encouraging, and really knows how to push you while making it fun.

    - Personal Training Client ★★★★★

  • "Cherise had such a welcoming, encouraging approach to personal training, yet left me feeling challenged."

    “Just the push I needed to lock in 12 weeks before summer! If you're looking to hone in on your fitness goals with a custom program, Cherise is the trainer for you.”

    - Personal Training Client ★★★★★

  • "I've Been Able to Surpass My Own Expectations"

    “Before starting my journey, I was completely lost and didn't have much motivation to challenge myself physically. With the guidance of Mel, I've been able to surpass my own expectations - doing exercises with confidence and now working with weights that would have initially scared me. Over the past few months, I feel more confident with myself during our sessions, and know when I should be pushing myself to achieving new goals. Mentally and physically, I've had the most positive changes and it's apparent through my day-to-day life.”

    - Personal Training Client ★★★★★

  • "It's Easy to Stay Consistent"

    “A big part of wanting to start the training sessions but not sure where to start was the biggest factor of what hindered me to start. But I feel that I've learned so much from the start to where I am now in my journey, being able to give my input on what I would feel like doing and just having someone guide me the whole way through really has just made it easy to stay consistent. I came into this with just wanting to chase the feeling instead of a look, and I think with how we've planned my programme / sessions I really look forward to each workout more and more”

    - Personal Training Client ★★★★★

  • "I Don't Dread Working Out"

    “I don't dread working out, I see it as an outlet instead of a chore. I'm learning so much about my body and strength training in general. And having Mel as my cheerleader, I've gotten back to being able to do planks and sit ups, and I actually enjoy it when I do it. Mel's approach to training feels one of a kind, there in sincerity in her approach, and to have someone in your corner full heartedly working with you without judgement allowed me to push myself, push my body, in ways I haven't before and I've had nothing but positive experiences since.”

    - Personal Training Client ★★★★★

  • "I Definitely Feel a Positive Change and Outlook"

    “I've just really had a good experience for the past couple months and couldn't be happier with how the training sessions have helped my overall lifestyle on a daily. Being able to implement these 50 minute sessions 3x a week, has made other parts of my life to be more organised and health wise I definitely feel a positive change and outlook.”

    - Personal Training Client ★★★★★

  • "Better Sleep, Energy & Stress-Relief"

    “I feel better mentally and physically - I am sleeping better, feeling more energized and less stressed.”

    - Personal Training Client ★★★★★

  • "I Feel Better Walking Into the Gym"

    “I feel stronger and more capable to show up for myself. I can see that I am able to lift more and feel more agile in my body! My mental health has also improved which I love. I have always felt lost in the gym and with Mel, she always explains how to use the machines as well as a visual example (which is so crucial for me) I feel better walking into the gym knowing that I won’t feel like a lost puppy.”
