Meet Mel
FOUNDER & PERSONAL TRAINER
Supports all MELROSE clients via programs, calls & check-ins

This transformation inspired MELROSE Training. After becoming a Certified Personal Trainer, Mel left her full-time role as a Registered Nurse to help women experience the life-changing benefits of strength training. Whether you’re aiming to build a stronger core or make fitness a rewarding part of your routine, Mel’s mission is to help you feel empowered in your body, gain strength, and live a healthier, more confident life.
