 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had never attended a gym session until my late 60's when a friend suggested I try a free session with Mel.  I have been going back ever since (I am now 73) and feel stronger and fitter than ever.  Mel is a great motivator and 'pushes' me to extend my limits, something I would not do training alone. Mel has created a team environment that is really caring and supportive.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m nearly two years in to my Evil Barbee experience and at 61 I’m the strongest, fittest and the most mentally clear I’ve been in years. I love the smaller boutique fitness environment Mel has created. Other members are friendly and like minded and Mel and her instructors are supportive and caring in helping us be our best. Give it a try and I’m sure, like me, you’ll be hooked. 😄

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 🏃‍♀️ Training regularly at Mel's studio means I'll keep up with the grandkids! I love mixing up my workouts with a class of Pilates, Zumba or Stretch. Creative workouts, encouraging trainers, supportive community, with the welcome option of a coffee after class. ☕
