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 lose 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 lose 15 pounds 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.
As much as I tried, I just did not feel like “me”. Then six months ago it happened. My wife, who had been training with Melissa for several months, asked me to go with her. Although I never told her this, I thought she was crazy. How could an over-the-hill “strokie” (as my son calls me) be able to work out? I could barely tie my shoes. I was mentally in a bad place. Enter Melissa.
From the moment we met, I knew she was going to become an important person in my life. One of the first things she told me was that she was going to help me “come out of the darkness”. How did she know that was exactly how I felt? How did she know exactly how to get into my head so that I wanted to become fit? I can’t answer that. All I know is that the fitness lifestyle that she is teaching me has made a world of difference for me and my family. And while I know that I have a long way to go to find “me”, I can already feel the life coming back into my soul. Writing this makes me realize just how far I have come in 5 months. Without my wife’s love and Melissa’s encouragement, I shudder to think where I would be today. Now I look forward to my workouts. Boot camp…no problem! Ab-chair…bring the pain! Jacob’s ladder…I love it! I’m out of the darkness. I’m alive again!
