At Melrose Training, we’ll help you build strength with a plan that’s actually made for you, a trainer who knows you, and workouts you’ll actually look forward to.

“Every session challenged me in a thoughtful, sustainable way, and I was consistently able to increase my weights while maintaining proper form.”

“Not only have I noticed a huge difference physically and strength-wise, but the positive impact on my mental well-being has been just as significant.”

Meet Mel

@melgrauds

For years, I thought getting fit meant more cardio, more restrictions, and constantly pushing harder. Discovering strength training changed the way I approached fitness, and eventually led me to leave my nursing career and start Melrose Training in 2019.

Today, I lead our team of Certified Personal Trainers and personally meet with new clients to understand their goals and help match them with the right plan. I still remember what it felt like to be intimidated by weights, and I wanted to build a training experience that made women feel comfortable, challenged, and genuinely excited to come back.
