Hi, I’m Melissa! 

I’m a Personal Trainer & Nutrition Coach based in Berlin, Germany & a remote coach at PhysioRX in Brooklyn, NY.

Fitness, strength and nutrition are often approached separately when in fact they are closely linked and all part of living a healthy life. That’s why I’m here to help you with both! The health and fitness space is full of bullshit - fads, unproven quick fixes and one size fits all concepts. Those are SO tempting because they work quickly and offer a simple answer to all our problems. 

Where real progress lies is often boring and repetitive. Lifting weights 2-3x a week for YEARS, eating enough protein, eating lots of fruit & vegetables, getting enough sleep, managing stress. Boring, but effective as hell. My goal is to make evidence-based nutrition and fitness more enjoyable and show that sustainable health can be attainable by building up small habits over time.

Here’s What Clients Are Saying

  • "Melissa is the first trainer that has worked with me at a pace that feels comfortable for me and my body. She is very knowledgeable with injuries and she is patient. She has a nice balance of pushing me to achieve my goals and believing that I can achieve more than I even think I can, while recognizing that I need to move at a pace that is right for my body."

    MF Coaching Client

  • "Love Melissa!!! Her positivity and encouragement is so helpful!!!"

    MF Coaching Client

  • "My goal was to get stronger and also leaner, ideally losing around 20lbs overall. And, how did it turn out?….smashed it!!! Working with the combo of weights, stretching and improved approaches to food was a game changer. Not only did I reach my goals steadily over 3 months, I’m feeling so much better and have a refreshed mindset. I have daily, weekly and long term plans I’m tracking (almost subconsciously at this point) and am getting compliments from friends and colleagues. Love it!"

    PhysioRX Client

  • "I was a little worried the consultation call would be predictable answers (exercise more, eat less sugar etc.) but I felt like we went a lot deeper into core problems and identified some surprising changes I could make that felt sustainable and approachable. I'm already incorporating more protein into my diet along with my exercise routine."

I HATE TO ADMIT IT BUTTTTT… alcohol is one of the biggest reasons I see my clients struggling to make progress. We’re so quick to give up carbs, go on extreme diets, do cardio for dayzzz but then we often ignore the implications of dri

Recently I did a *small* fat loss phase after focusing on muscle gain for awhile and it was sooooo good for me to remember how HUNGER SUCKS! It’s not easy to be in a deficit, and accepting some hunger is a normal part of any fat loss process.

Using a fitness tracker or a calorie estimator on a piece of equipment is a really sh** strategy for weight loss - these devices can be off by 10-30%, and there are soooooo many more factors that go into your individual calorie needs that a tracker j
