Each 50-minute personal training session begins with a tailored warm-up, followed by a low-impact, strength-based workout that often starts with bodyweight exercises. This approach ensures a solid foundation, making it ideal for beginners and those looking to advance their fitness in a supportive environment.

As someone who started her fitness journey from scratch, Mel understands the importance of creating a space where you feel empowered to push your boundaries. There are no burpees here; instead, we challenge you to progress in a positive, feel-good way, with Mel guiding you through each exercise in real time. This ensures proper form, provides immediate feedback, and allows the session to be adapted to your needs, all culminating in a comprehensive cool-down.

Not at all! We welcome all fitness levels. Each workout includes modifications to suit your ability, and you'll receive direct support from Mel throughout each session to ensure your comfort and strength.

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

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

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

Results from strength training can be seen on different timelines for everyone, which is precisely why our programs span 6-12 weeks, ensuring a foundation for steady, long-term progress. Beyond the visible physical changes, which may take some time to manifest, the immediate benefits of strength training, such as metabolism boosting and increased energy levels, are significant.

Our workouts are designed to be ultra-efficient, maximizing the effectiveness of each session. This means you not only get the most out of your time but also start enjoying the mood-lifting effects of endorphins right from the start. With consistent effort and our supportive guidance, the journey towards seeing tangible results becomes both achievable and enjoyable.

We offer personal training sessions from Monday to Friday. To cater to your unique schedule, we provide the flexibility of either recurring timeslots or flexible scheduling on a week-to-week basis. Our goal is to make your training as convenient and consistent as possible.

Our Yorkville Studio is an exclusive, private training facility located in Toronto's prestigious Yorkville neighborhood, known for its upscale shopping and dining. Here's a glimpse of what sets the studio apart:

Location & Details: Precise location details of our Yorkville Studio will be provided during your consultation. We're nestled in an elite area, ensuring privacy and exclusivity for our clients.

Private: This is not a public gym; it's a private haven for personal training. Our studio is accessible only to clients working with trainers, offering a one-on-one, distraction-free environment. You'll train in complete privacy, away from the crowds of a big box gym.

Engage in effective virtual training sessions via Zoom from the comfort of your own home or residential gym (no equipment needed). Mel will demonstrate each exercise, provide live cues & modifications, and offer encouragement throughout. Your initial consultation and subsequent check-ins are also conveniently scheduled via Zoom, fitting seamlessly into your lifestyle.

To begin, no equipment is necessary! We focus on building the foundations with bodyweight exercises, making it easy to start regardless of your current setup. As you progress, we can recommend simple additions like resistance bands or dumbbells to enhance your training. The key is to start simple and grow your home gym as needed, based on your goals and preferences.

To ensure you achieve the best results and maintain consistency, we require a minimum of two workouts per week over a 6-week period. We also offer 12-week personal training programs at a discounted rate and with some major perks. Book your free consultation to learn more!

Yes, absolutely! We understand life comes with its own set of adventures, including travel. Should you need to travel during your 6 or 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 miss out on your training.

Absolutely! Upon completion of your program, you have the option to continue with your current plan, revise it, or explore other programs we offer. We pride ourselves on a high client retention rate, indicative of our commitment to your long-term lifestyle success. Our aim is to support you in maintaining and building upon your fitness achievements.

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.

However, we do understand the convenience of using your own gym facilities. For this reason, we offer a comprehensive virtual training program. This option allows you to benefit from our expert guidance and tailored workout plans right in your own gym space.

We focus on live, interactive coaching rather than written programs. This approach allows us to give immediate feedback, adjust workouts on the fly, and ensure exercises are performed safely and effectively, leading to lasting results and a superior training experience.

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 resources.

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