After the birth of my son I lost 45 pounds in 3 months! Eating well-balanced meals every three hours and finding exercises that I enjoyed doing was the key. I knew what needed to be done. I, too, had a personal trainer give me that extra push and motivation. I also took boxing lessons, salsa classes, and every morning my newborn son and I put the jogger stroller to use with long power walks. It was not easy being a new Mom, but with 100% dedication and no excuses, I got my body back in shape. Finding the right plan for me was the key to my success!

Training with Melissa has changed more than my dress size. I am in better health in my 30s than in my 20s. I had experienced a chronic illness that had neither explanation nor cure, for more than 4 years. Since training with Melissa, adopting a new, healthier eating life style, the chronic and incurable disease has been cured. My body now screams for exercise, when before it was fine just being a couch potato. My lifestyle has changed permanently because of Melissa's influence and training. Oh yeah, and I've lost weight too.

Melissa is awesome! My husband and I trained with her in order to get fit for our wedding. She pushed our bodies and we found strength that we didn’t even know we had. Together we lost 60 pounds and feel great! We could not have done this without Melissa.

As soon as I began my training program with Melissa, I instantly saw results. She motivated me to do exercises I would not have done on my own. Most importantly, I learned how to enjoy my favorite foods in moderation, began to sleep better, have more energy during the day and the best thing I learned was to preplan my meals on a daily basis especially if I was going to a restaurant! By working with Melissa I lost 37 lbs in less than six months!

When I started with Melissa, I was 250 lbs, a 42 inch waist, and my cholesterol was hovering around 300. What Melissa has done for me is, she has been a constant in making me accountable to me in looking the way I want to look. I had been meeting Melissa twice a week for about 6-7 months. And at the end of that time, I began having consistency in making myself accountable for my nutrition and exercise.

I am proud to say that I am a much leaner 215 lbs and am at a 36 inch waist and hopefully will get that down even smaller. My cholesterol is now between 215 and 225. I am on a maintenance schedule with her now when I meet with her every other week. I have now joined a gym that I really like, and I actually have not missed a beat in how often I work out. I now continue to work out and have truly made a transformation in my exercise and nutrition. I absolutely could not have gone this far without Melissa’s help.

Thank you Melissa!

 Testimonial Arriving Soon...

Melissa is a great trainer! I tried for two years to get the baby fat off without success, and then she became my Personal trainer and helped me burn it off in just two months! She would personally call me everyday to see how I was doing. If I was going to eat out at a restaurant she would tell me what I can order without breaking my diet. Overall, she taught me how to train my body and to eat right no matter where I am at. Everything I lost I have been able to keep off for over 1 year!! If you don’t do it the right way, you will gain it back plus some.

Hail to the fitness queen! Diet after diet, gym after gym, I could not lose weight until I met Melissa. She guided me down a path I never thought I could take and 30 pounds later it shows! Her energetic work outs are amazing and are over before you know it. Most importantly learning how to eat real food from restaurants and social gatherings while still losing weight was something I never thought was possible. Melissa’s knowledge and outlook in life is so positive, I continue to have her as my Trainer and recommend her to everyone.

I went to Perfection fitness to support a friend and ended up signing up too! I didn't realize what I was in for!! To date I've lost over 40 lbs, I feel better inside and out, my confidence is tripled and I'm looking forward to wearing clothes I never thought I'd fit into! I was bordering on a size 30! I'm now down to a 22/24 and still shrinking!! Melissa has shown infinite patience, understanding and support during my journey. I began in February 07 and this last October I completed a 4 day Vision Quest out in the woods with no food! There's no way I could've done that without Melissa's help. She consulted with me on how to train and prepare for such an intense experience. I came through with flying colors! Couldn’t have done it without her. Many thanks to Perfection Fitness and hat's off to Melissa who lives her passion of helping others become healthy and happy!!! Truly a woman who 'walks her talk'!

Over a year ago I noticed a positive change in a very good friend after she started working out with Melissa from Perfection Fitness. I realized that I had to make some major life changes and met with her to discuss what I wanted and more importantly what I didn't want. I didn't want to stop cooking great meals for my family. I didn't want to leave my house to work out. I didn't want someone to tell me I had to stop smoking or give up any of the other things in my life that I enjoyed. I met with Melissa and her personality just lit a fire in me and motivated me beyond anything I experienced in twenty plus years. After one year of Melissa working with me and advising me only when I asked I have lost 24 pounds and 40 inches. I have gone from tired a lot of the time to having energy. I have also gone down 5 dress sizes. I feel better than I have since I was in my twenties. I did not expect to react the way I have and its entirely due to Melissa, Perfection Fitness and the affect she and her company have had on me. It is truly a life change that is here to stay for me!

Working with Melissa has changed my life! I never knew I could lose weight and still be able to eat fast foods with just a little modification. I have lost 41 pounds and over 21inches off my body since May. Melissa has helped me to get fit, make healthy food choices and feel really good about myself. Thanks to her I truly am a different person and know I can be fit for life. Thanks Melissa.

I have been on many different diet and fitness plans through-out my life. I tried them all and the thing is, I wasn’t successful on any of them. When along came Melissa with her way of teaching me that it isn’t about a diet or a plan, it is about a lifestyle and living my life in a way that respects and honors my mind and body. I thank Melissa for teaching me just how strong and fit I am capable of being. Once I made the commitment to living my life with respect for myself it all came together with ease and perfection. I highly recommend Melissa: she is a fantastic trainer, a motivator “extraordinaire” and the guru of positive thinking!

 Before I met Melissa I was unhealthy, my weight was at its highest and I didn’t really exercise. I started training with Melissa three days a week, then went to five days a week. She really pushes me and keeps me accountable with my workouts. I lost 65 pounds in 8 months and continue to workout everyday. When Melissa tells you to trust her, you just do and before you know it your whole outlook in life and how you take care of yourself changes.

 In one year I transformed my entire lifestyle, Melissa showed me that good food is what helps you lose weight. I no longer do crazy diets but eat all day, maintain a healthy body and I love it! I went from a size 10 to a 6 by exercising, eating right and making time for me! Melissa, Thank you for showing me the healthy way of living!

 This has been such an amazing process! Not only does my body feel stronger and healthier but my mind and spirit have become stronger as well! I feel great and have made this my new lifestyle! Melissa is a key part of this process, she pushes, she encourages but most importantly she BELIEVES in you as an individual. This alone sets her aside from all the rest! Melissa you ROCK, thank you for being more than just my trainer!

I’ve been working with Melissa for 6 months and have seen amazing results in that time. I have never felt stronger of healthier. Melissa is passionate about fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm she brings to every session. Her easy going, friendly personality creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. She makes each workout challenging, creative and most importantly, Fun! She also places a high value on correct form with each exercise. She motivates me to push past my perceived limits to get results. I have incredible energy, my balance and flexibility have improved immensely (well not so much balance) and I’ve got great new muscles. If you are serious about changing your life for the better, Melissa will lead you every step of the way. Thank you Melissa, you are the best!

People come into your life for a reason. Melissa came into mine at a time that I realized I needed to change. Through self realization, Melissa has shared with me her knowledge and support to assist me with my life changing experience. Since Meeting Melissa in September 2008, I was wearing a size 13 in jeans and now I wear size 7. Although I am not at my goal yet, I feel a whole lot better in my skin. I only get one body in this life and it is my responsibility to remain focused and continue to make healthy choices. My experience with Melissa has enabled me to share with others how important exercise and healthy foods are. She has not only touched my life but others she has not come into contact with. Thanks Melissa your the best.

I feel thankful and blessed to have found Perfection Fitness and Melissa Mata as a trainer. A few months before my wedding I wanted to loose weight but I was out of ideas, loosing hope and considering paying thousands for cosmetic surgery. When I met with Melissa little did I know she would change my life forever. With her encouragement and tough love I was able to loose 15 ponds and 4% body fat. Melissa went above and beyond my expectations and truly is a “personal trainer”. Her guidance and knowledge has taught me how to be a better healthier me.

For the past five years I could literally feel my life slipping away. I was overweight, had high blood pressure, gout, aerial fibrillation and not much hope of living past 60. All of this resulted in me having a stroke two years ago. I was “lucky” the doctors said. I could still walk and talk. After a year of rehab, I went back to work. But there was something missing. It seemed as if a part of me had disappeared.
 

I call Perfection Fitness the "Little Gym that could". Whereas I always felt LOST in the big gyms with trainers who cared more about what they looked like than training me, I was FOUND by Melissa. And she made me find me! I had only hoped to lose some weight and get healthy, but so many other things have happened. Besides LOSING WEIGHT and TONING UP, my mental attitude towards Me, My Life and My Family has all changed. I WANT to show up to the gym and know that it's all about me for the time I have with Melissa. I WANT to eat right (with Melissa's encouragement). I don't recall EVER having done the same workout twice, which keeps me enthusiastic about the workouts. I have some work to do but I look forward to what is to come, at the studio and in life.

Thank you for helping me to feel better, for helping me to transform my body and helping it shrink, But most of all for believing that I could do it and for helping me do it. Thank you for making this new phase and journey possible.
Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you!!!

Working with Melissa has defiantly made me responsible and accountable for my health. This is the encouragement that I needed. Her workouts are like comedy hour with weight loss included. What more could you ask for ! Melissa's Boot Camps even knocked me out of my last paint size! The girl is amazing !

Thank you Melissa for making me look and feel Amazing!
