This woman is amazing — not only is she a quality and genuinely good person (and if you know how cynical I am — she certainly does — you’ll know how rare it is that I’ll say something like that!) and one of my favorite people of all time (I used to just say “one of my favorite people in southern California” but she has definitely made the transition to “of all time” status), but she’s also an excellent trainer, which is the point of this post!
Melody has an amazing ability to take you to limits that you didn’t know you had — she intuitively knows when your whimpers of “Mel! I can’t do this anymore!!!!” are just a lot of whining and when you genuinely need a break. She’s given me the best massages of my life too — which is the other half of her business besides the personal trainer part.
