the fitness industry to re-teach training techniques to well conditioned clients. “All my clients come from a
strength training background predominately from a gym atmosphere. I taught them that they could maintain the
results they desired, and improve upon flexibility and elongation of muscle fibers, and to strengthen the
muscles that give and help them maintain great posture.” The program proved to be so successful, that in
1999 Melissa opened her own studio in Hollywood, Florida to such notables as Nikki Taylor, whom she rehabbed
back from a life threatening debilitation.
Melissa maintains a commitment to the health and fitness industry through healthy lifestyle practices and continuing
