Total Body Training

“I’ve been training with Melissa for 25 years and I feel fitter and stronger than when I started all those years ago! Her dedication and commitment to detail surpasses all the new fad and injury inducing classes. Being able to ‘zoom’ in makes my 3 weekly workouts with Melissa even more convenient & accessible without the hassel of rush hour traffic! Truly working out with Melissa has been my ‘survival kit’ during lockdown! ”

Jacqueline Fine

“Melissa’s zoom HIIT classes have been amazing to keep me focused, sane and strong over this last year. I think I’m the strongest I’ve ever been. I can’t recommend Melissa’s teaching enough! Thank you.”

Nicola Ryan

“In a lifetime of exercise classes, the only one that has ever really had an impact on my strength and body shape is Melissa’s TRX class – I recommend them to anyone.”

Sue Hollingsworth

“Your classes have got me through lockdown. Not only getting up in the morning but I feel so much better after them and feel I can cope with the rest of the day. Your instructions are very clear and you normally build up the moves. As you workout with us, it is easier to follow and motivates you to keep you going, so even on a recording I feel I can’t give up. I am very happy with the zoom classes and they are very easy to access- live or via recording. Thanks again.”

Katy Crowston

“TRX – it’s one hell of a kick ass class! I almost chickened out of signing up but soooo glad I didn’t. It’s great to see familiar faces on screen and be part of the TRX gang! Gives me an great energy boost for the weekend.”

Rachel Coleman-Vaughan

“To be honest, I have struggled with keeping up with my fitness. However, after dabbling with several different home fitness apps and programs, this is the one that works for me! I had started with My Trainer and this was truly was a total fitness session. From stretching to strength building – it really comes highly recommended for those wanting to build up their flexibility and strength. I then switched to HIIT training, as a shorter session to fit in with other commitments. This is simply brilliant. I feel like I am worked so hard by Melissa and the best thing is that every session is very different. Her coaching and instructions are very clear and to the point. I love the way Melissa gives you the ‘just when you thought it was all over, extras’. I would go as far as saying Melissa has the best online training in town! You won’t regret it! Love Melissa’s sessions:)”

Gurdeep Major

“Melissa’s classes on line have been a life saver! The discipline of Showing up for classes has really helped me keep to a routine during lock down and its so convenient to do so! The instructions are clear and easy to follow (as always!!) and Melissa still manages to challenge me despite not being in the same room as me! Missing a class is never a problem – Melissa sends a recording of the class for me to catch up. Thank you Melissa for keeping me on track.”

Choi Van Rest

“Having tried different online classes, I would highly recommend both the My Trainer and HIIT classes. Melissa’s point of difference online is that she demonstrates all the moves, practices them alongside the class, motivates and engages us and continually encourages us to improve and and evolve our exercise practice.”

Ruth Miller

“Melissa’s TRX classes have translated into the online format really well. It’s still the same great workout that it’s always been, every class is different and there’s always a new challenge. It’s so nice to see everyone else as well at the start and end of the class. ”

Stephanie McDowell

“I thoroughly enjoy the challenging zoom workouts, with different exercises in every class, I stay fit and healthy and mentally stimulated too. I highly recommend joining our TBT gang.”

Jo Alexander

“I have been training with Melissa for many years! She is passionate and dedicated in delivering professional and friendly classes each week. Wouldn’t be without her! ”

Jane Martin

“I think the online format works really well, as there is no maximum class number so you never miss out on a class, which could be the case in the studio when there was a limit on numbers. I now don’t have to factor in travel time, plus I can get a recording of the class if I can’t make the ‘live’ session. A nice touch is that we still get to say hello at the beginning and end of the call! Thanks for all you’ve done in the last 12 months to organise and run the online sessions, it’s been an absolute god-send.”

Sarah Dobson

“Melissa’s classes really force you into good habits with form and making sure you’re getting the most out of your workout. Her love for TRX is infectious and that can be seen in the sense of community growing in the Saturday Morning TRX gang! I look forward to the focus and feeling of progression I get from it every week!”

Joel Peat

“Really love the new format! It’s given me the chance to continue classes via the recordings to fit around my work schedule, however, I still feel like I’m part of the class. The continuous coaching, encouragement and technique tips throughout make me feel like I’m in the studio with you! You take the time to ensure everyone is safe and has good technique even if they aren’t in front of you. I feel like I’m being individually coached and really seeing the benefits from it in my increasing strength and fitness. I look forward to next week’s classes! ”

Helen Pratt

“Training with Melissa is always awesome. Transitioning to a digital format has been seamless, classes remain challenging with great instruction, always fun and still feels like a positive collective community. ”

Nadra Shah

“I find the classes excellent and your instructions always very clear. Just love the long stretch time at the beginning on a Wednesday TBT – just so needed! Exercising from home certainly saves a lot of time and driving around. Because instructions are very clear, feel I am able to follow well.”

Claire Baillie

“Your classes have been a life saver for me during the last year while face to face training hasn’t been possible. The live classes make you feel like part of a community and the flexibility of being able to have the recording if you can’t make the class has meant I have been able to keep up my regular training schedule throughout the year. Thanks for your motivation and enthusiasm which is very uplifting!”

Tessa Lemon

“Melissa’s online TRX classes have been a godsend during lockdown. They have kept me moving and stretching and I always feel so much better afterwards! She explains each move very clearly so you know exactly what to do and how to do it correctly, and she is incredibly motivational, ensuring you get the most out of each class. Thank you Melissa!”

Kathryn Foster

“Thank you Melissa for your fab online classes. Your wonderful dedication, enthusiasm and energy have kept my mind, body and soul fit and healthy.”

Liz Webster

“I had never heard of TRX until I joined Melissa’s classes over 10 years ago. Her classes have gone from strength to strength and are hugely popular as a result. Going online with TRX was a small blessing because there was never any doubt about availability in her popular classes. I have tried various instructors over the years but Melissa really is the queen of TRX ! Highly recommend.”

Jules Brown

“Your classes always challenge and even when I’m struggling, your encouragement keeps me going. I used to avoid weights, but now feel the benefits of the weights exercises. The variety you bring to the class is brilliant for keeping this aged body going. Thank you.”

Mo Grundy

“The two best things are firstly you! You are a real person who knows everyone by name giving specific nuanced instructions on how to perform the exercises and you bring positivity and energy to the classes And secondly flexibility. It’s been great being able to squeeze these sessions into the day. I wouldn’t normally be able to attend on a week day but working from home has allowed this as it can be fitted into an hour. Also where I can’t attend, you can still get the recording. These two things have made it possible. Thank you”

Emma Walter

“Melissa’s on line ‘My Trainer’ classes have inspired me. She is so strong, positive, very knowledgeable and keeps the class on its toes. The instructions are very clear and guides me though very easily where mistakes can be made. Thanks again Melissa! You are a star!”

Dani Jacobs

“Melissa and her TBT sessions reliably deliver what they say on the tin - Total Body Training. Love the perfectly balanced combination of cardio and strength training, whether that be a HIIT or a MyTrainer class.”

Sarah O’Dwyer

“I have been attending Melissa’s TRX online classes for a year and found them a great workout and benefit in a difficult time. The online classes are well structured, varied and easy to follow with appropriate warm ups and cool downs. The live classes are a great group activity, and have been something to look forward to each week.”

Julian Lemon

“I’ve been training with Melissa for over a decade now which says it all really. I love her no nonsense approach but she keeps it fun, personal and above all fresh. Melissa works us hard but with compassion – I’m not quite sure how that works but it does. She keeps us motivated and always keen for the next challenge. I never clock watch in Melissa’s class and if I did she’d have me doing ten extra press ups!”

Denise Kolb

“I absolutely LOVE being a member of the Saturday morning TRX gang... Melissa’s enthusiasm positively exudes from the screen and with her expert instruction I often forget I’m training in the spare bedroom! I really do feel part of a team :)”

Julie Stepham

“Melissa’s online classes work really well for me – no time consuming travel, I have the space and equipment at home, it’s all easy to follow and really nice to see familiar faces online!”
