Build consistency, confidence and real results in 12-weeks with a program designed to fit your life.

We know that building a routine you can actually stick to can be challenging, especially when you have a full life, a demanding career, and years of starting strong then falling off.

Most women who come to us aren’t lacking motivation, they’re exhausted from trying to figure it out alone, discouraged by programs that weren’t built for their schedule, and tired of waiting to feel their best. And that’s exactly why we built a women-first strength training experience that makes consistency feel simple and results feel achievable, right from day one.

Our expert trainers guide you with a structured plan that removes the guesswork. No more random workouts or all-or-nothing thinking - just a clear program that helps you build confidence, strength and real progress - without extremes.

Welcome to Melrose, where women finally feel strong, confident and consistent.

“I’m Trying to Be Consistent, But Life Keeps Getting in the Way.”

Sound familiar? You’re in the right place.

Meet Mel

PERSONAL TRAINER & FOUNDER, @melgrauds

I wasn’t always active. For years, I bounced between endless cardio, starting over every Monday and feeling exhausted instead of empowered, until strength training changed everything for me.

That shift inspired me to build Melrose Training, a women first strength training method that makes consistency feel simple, supportive and realistic from day one.

With my background as a Registered Nurse and a deep passion for women’s wellness, I bring a balanced, evidence informed approach that helps you feel good inside and out.

As the Founder, I work closely with our training team and personally join all client consults, kickoff calls and check ins. Every woman who trains with us receives real support, thoughtful guidance and a program designed with intention.

Welcome to Melrose, where women finally feel strong, confident and consistent.

  • “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.”

Your questions answered

  • In your personal training consultation, we’ll discuss your fitness goals, challenges, and experience. You'll meet Mel (our Founder) who will walk you through our training options, answer any questions, and help you decide on the next steps. If you’d like, we can also arrange a virtual meet-and-greet with your potential trainer following the call. Whether you’re new to fitness or looking to level up, this call is all about you and your goals.

  • No problem! Should you need to travel during your 12-week program, we offer the flexibility to accommodate your plans. This includes the ability to reschedule sessions due to illness or travel, with sessions being conveniently added onto the end of your program to ensure you don’t lose ant of your sessions.

  • Not at all! We welcome all fitness levels. Each workout includes modifications to suit your fitness and comfort level, and you'll receive direct support from your trainer throughout each session to ensure you’re moving safely and confidently.

  • Each 50-minute personal training session is thoughtfully structured to maximize results and work towards your individual goals. Sessions start with a dynamic, tailored warm-up to prepare your body, transition into a strength-focused workout designed to align with your goals, and wrap up with a guided stretch to cool-down and promote mobility.

  • Absolutely! Strength training is highly effective for weight loss. It boosts metabolism (AKA calorie burn) long after your workout ends, and building muscle increases your resting metabolic rate. Curious to learn more about reaching your goals? Let's discuss it during your consultation, bookable here.

  • We totally understand that starting a new fitness routine can be daunting, especially for beginners - and that's why we prioritize creating a supportive and encouraging environment. Each session is tailored to your fitness level, ensuring you feel comfortable and safe in every workout.

    We start with the basics, gradually building your confidence and skills, and your trainer is always there to answer questions and provide guidance. Our goal is to make fitness a positive and empowering experience for you.

  • To ensure you achieve the best results and maintain consistency, we require a minimum of two workouts per week over a 12-week period. Book your free consultation to learn more!

  • We require a minimum, of 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule any personal training sessions.

  • Absolutely! At MELROSE Training, we’re proud to support pregnant and postpartum clients with personalized, safe, and effective training programs. Cherise, one of our MELROSE Trainers, is certified in pre- and post-natal fitness and has years of experience working with clients during all stages of pregnancy and recovery.

    Our approach prioritizes your safety and comfort while helping you stay active, build strength, and prepare for the demands of pregnancy and/or postpartum life. If you have specific needs or questions, we’d love to discuss them during your consultation.

  • Your studio access is always included for your scheduled in-person training sessions. At the Yonge & Bloor location, you also have the option to purchase a monthly membership directly through the studio if you’d like to use the space outside of your PT sessions. The other locations are reserved for personal training only and do not offer independent workout access.

  • All our in-person training sessions are  centralized at our private, state-of-the-art studio located in the heart of Yorkville. This move allows us to offer a more focused and exclusive training experience with access to specialized equipment and facilities.

    We also offer virtual training programs which allow you to benefit from our expert guidance and tailored workout plans right in your own gym space.

  • Our focus is on our expertise - fitness training. While we don't offer nutrition coaching or meal plans, we can point you towards reliable, highly-qualified nutrition experts.

  • Our personal training is available to women aged 18 and above.

  • We’re happy to offer a one time trial session when it’s appropriate for your goals and needs, though it won’t reflect the full experience of our personalized twelve week program. A trial gives you a feel for our training style, the studio, and what it’s like to work with your trainer, while the full customization and coaching begin after your official onboarding. If you’re interested in a trial session before committing to the full-program, please book a consultation so we can learn more about your goals and guide you toward the option that will support you best.
