Success Stories
Balancing marathon training with real life felt doable thanks to Melissa's coaching and thoughtful approach. Her app made following workouts stress-free and our weekly phone check-ins provided consistency, encouragement, and space to adjust as needed. I felt supported every step of the way. The training led to a nearly four-minute PR, finishing the NYC Marathon in 3:21 and reminded me how empowering well-designed coaching can be.

I have always been hesitant to weight lift in the gym, because I didn't feel confident navigating the equipment or knowing where to begin. It was all overwhelming. Lissa helped me learn how to use the equipment and provided me with detailed information on key lifting workouts that I should incorporate into my routine. Now I have the confidence to lift at the gym independently and feel like I belong there.

Lissa was an incredible coach for my first HYROX race! Coming from a running background with little to no strength training or lifting experience, I had a lot to learn physically and even more to learn about the race format and strategy. She helped me (and my doubles partner) put all the pieces together in a way that felt manageable and confidence-building. Thanks to her, we were able to put together strong performances in both the individual and doubles competitions. I can't wait to see what we'll accomplish at the next race under her guidance.
