FAQ

Where are you located?2025-09-23T14:40:05-07:00

Previously located in a brick and mortar location, Melissa now travels to the client’s home or to a semi-private fitness facility, depending on the client’s preference and schedule. Offering a mobile service allows for more accountability for the client, resulting in better training results. Melissa’s model is similar to that of a traveling or mobile physical therapist, and the service area includes San Diego’s east county.

Where are your prices listed?2025-09-23T10:05:21-07:00

Not every program price is listed to prevent confusion, as it can very based on training frequency and distance to your home. Instead, only the basics are listed. The best way to learn if you are a good fit, is to schedule a free consultation.

I’m on a budget, do you offer any low-cost programs?2025-09-23T14:33:44-07:00

Yes. Hybrid Personal Training is a very affordable option and popular for people on a budget. Starting at only $97/ month.

What if I’m New to Exercise?2025-09-23T10:22:59-07:00

That is not a problem. All programs are built around your specific goals, skill level, and any restrictions or limitations. Training is scalable to match your current level of fitness.

What is IASTM?2025-09-23T14:52:16-07:00

I.A.S.T.M., or Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization, is a specialized form of sports massage. It uses specialized instruments rubbed into the skin to break up scar tissue. It hits knots form the side rather than straight on and so is very effective for chronic conditions and sports injuries. To see a list of the conditions that may be improved with the technique, please visit our I.A.S.T.M. page.

Why wouldn’t I join an average old gym instead?2025-09-23T14:30:59-07:00

If you are looking for the least expensive option, an average gym is your best bet. But if knowledge of the human body and education level is not important to you, you may want to reconsider. Melissa offers a concierge level of service you won’t find from a gym, and training environment options include the privacy of your own home or a semi-private fitness facility. Call to schedule a free consultation to learn more.

Do I have to give you my banking information?2025-09-23T10:11:49-07:00

No, you don’t have to. But if you choose to go with a subscription plan, the cost is hugely discounted because it saves me time. You can stop it whenever you choose.

Do you offer military or industry discounts?2025-09-23T10:16:19-07:00

Yes, you qualify for a 15% discount if you are active military or a first responder.
