About
I work out of a my private gym/studio in St George making the training experience personal and motivating. As a veteran trainer I have many years of experience and expertise training clients for both fitness and sport. I have personally competed at high levels in the sport of triathlon and track. I won triathlon nationals and have raced in the Ironman World Championships five times. But don't let that scare you as I will train you at your level and pace. In addition to being a certified trainer for over 30 plus years I have the education to back up my knowledge with a bachelor of science degree from the University of Arizona as well as a master of science degree in exercise physiology from the University of Utah. Most importantly, I love training my clients as they progress towards their fitness and life goals. I have worked with various rehab patients (knee replacements, back surgery, shoulder, etc.). Most of my clients have success with weight loss and/or muscle gain. I have clients who have lost 50 to 100 pounds changing their life and health!
I love helping individuals meet and exceed their fitness and health goals. I also enjoy the interaction and relationships built with my amazing clients some of which have been with me for over 20 years! I work out of a private exercise studio providing motivation and results without intimidation. I also practice what I preach. I’m still very active and still competing. However, most of my clients are not athletes, but they are seeking general fitness and weight loss or weight gain through muscle and strength. Contact me today to receive an introductory rate of one session for $30.

I highly recommend her for anyone!!
I am a super beginner for any kind of training/weight training. Melanie made the training as an easy and fun activity for me. I learned so much from her, and I can def feel that my body was more stronger than before. If I were staying in Utah longer (I had to leave Utah for personal reason), she would be my trainer again.

Melanie is a great trainer that really works with you to create a great routine. She pushes me more than I would myself and the workouts are very rewarding. She worked with me to fit me into her schedule in a way that works for both of us. She’s a great trainer and I love working with her!

Our first session together was wonderful. Melanie is super kind and attentive to my particular fitness needs. I am excited to get back to training with her early next week!

I was so thrilled to start working with Melanie to get my pre-baby strength back. I had no idea how weak certain parts of my body would be and how to avoid injury and am so grateful to have Melanie get me strong again, safely! Not only does she know her stuff, but she is so motivating! Thanks Mel!

Melanie was an excellent trainer. Even though I was only with her a short time because I was moving out of state she was very professional, knowledgeable about fitness, diet and exercise equipment. What I appreciated most about Melanie was she pushed you to your personal best but she was always very encouraging.
