TRANSFORMATION STORIES

Transformations are different for everyone. Some ladies have major physical transformations but many women just want to feel like themselves again and improve their strength and health as they age. I have helped women with all sorts of transformations and here you’ll find just a few stories of ladies like you who have transformed their bodies and lives and have been brave enough to share with you!

MORE TESTIMONIALS

I turned 40 this year and was feeling frustrated with the lack of results I was getting on my own, so I signed up for Melanie's program and made sure to read/watch all the information. I learned so much about my eating habits and was surprised that I didn't need to exhaust myself with long, heavy cardio programs! I'm just about to wrap up the 8 week program, and I cannot believe how strong I feel and how much fat has vanished from my waistline. I knew it was real when my husband commented about how strong my arms looked from across the gym!

Overall, it is a realistic program that encourages you to eat things that make you feel full and healthy, and the workouts are simple but very effective. I'm signing up for the next 8 weeks!

I am happy to report that I have lost some circumference around most areas of my body...thighs, hips, chest and waist. I have noticed a marked improvement in my muscle tone. My clothes are fitting better and going to the gym has become a habit. I love having the workouts loaded in the app. It makes me feel good knowing I don't have to figure that out when I get to the gym. I also feel like you're watching so that keeps me accountable. It's what I really needed.

Also I have had some improvement in my period. I am very happy about that. My cycle has gone from 10 day to 7-8!

I just have to say thank you for your nutrition plan and your approach that’s possible long term. I feel so much FREEDOM.

I’ve eaten a lot of different ways over the years and got it in my head about good foods or “bad” foods. I never counted calories though. And while I think I have a good understanding of eating real whole foods and unprocessed stuff, I am thankful for the calories in/calories out approach.

This is all because my husband’s patient gave him a loaf of homemade bread. I LOVE bread but got an unhealthy belief in my head about bread. I ate a piece of bread and butter with my supper and it was SO good and thankfully I didn’t feel guilty. It fit in my calorie range and I knew I had met my protein goal today, ate a lot of fresh greens today, and I enjoyed every bite and crumb of that bread. 😅

I'm SO pumped. The macro tracking is almost second nature to me now, and I'm getting to a point where it can just happen vs. it be the main focus of my day. I can see a difference in my progress photos too, and feel finally in control of how I look - much of it is in the numbers! It’s so awesome because at first I thought it’d be really difficult but it’s been very sustainable!

I am absolutely loving this meal plan. I love that there are so many options, the recipes are easy and I get to eat a lot of food. 

I’ve never been blessed with any sporting or athletic ability…however after 18 months of training with the awesome @melaniedurette, I can honestly say weight training is a new found love.

Mel thank you so much for your knowledge, encouragement, nutritional advice and listening ears! Ladies I can't recommend Mel enough...she's friggin awesome!

I took my measurements and progress photos today. I can definitely see and feel the difference between now and when I started. I’ve lost a couple inches - from my waist, hips, thighs and chest - and gained some in my shoulders and arms. I love all of the changes. I’m also seeing less sagging in my legs and rear. My knees finally lost some of the sagging, and my pants are fitting better in the butt. I actually have some budding biceps! 💪 💪 There’s still a long way to go, but I’m really grateful for everything so far.

Hi Mel. I've just had the most pain-free period I've ever had which must be due to exercise and eating well. I've had no period pain at all, no crazy hormones - maybe a little pimple come up by my chin but that was all. I'm on to a good thing here - my journey has just begun!

This program is incredible! It specifically addresses areas of your body that seem to become more stubborn as you age. Because of Melanie’s ability to individualize aspects of the training and focus on YOUR needs and wants I have seen such a difference in my body. My arms have been difficult to tone in the past 2 years and my husband noticed that change within just a few weeks!

I am so happy I chose to do this program and have been for almost 2 years. I am never disappointed. And Melanie makes it so easy to communicate with her, unlike workouts you find on a random app. This program is a program you will not regret!

Apart from gaining muscle mass and strength, I have gained confidence. I used to be terrified of picking up dumbbells in the weight room – now I walk in there and feel like I own the gym! Nothing is more empowering than achieving things you thought you were incapable of.

The program helped guide me through all the exercises and how to do them correctly and most importantly, the exercises were specifically chosen to develop an athletic and feminine physique. Love the accountability too!

Hey Mel. Just letting you know I LOVE my program. Kills me every single time!!

I went for a ski tonight instead of going to the gym - I can't believe the stamina I have skiing compared to last year! Wowza! I feel the changes and strength in my body everyday but out skiing tonight I was amazed and proud of myself. Thanks for helping me get there! xoxo

A lady came up to me at the gym today (she's a PT) and she says she's watched me over the years and wanted say say whatever I've changed has really shown especially in my upper body as she can really see my definition. LOL! I told her I had actually changed trainers and she said well tell her congratulations - she's doing a great job! So there you go. Thanks so much Mel! xxx

Just wanted to report that I did a ladies ski weekend this past weekend at a ski resort and I felt so strong! I wasn't even tired at the end of the day and last year when I did the same trip I couldn't even make it down one run without having to stop because my quads were burning. 

I had such a different experience this year and it's because of your program. Thank you so much!

Rachel

I am really into this! I love the videos. The plans are clear and I enjoy the app - ticking off progress is inspiring. Thank you for the check ins. Excited about the changes in my body! Wonderful, Melanie. So happy I found you!

Jenny

40 Something, New Zealand

This is so awesome! I love this program already! I’m not sure how you do it, but it feels like I actually have a personal trainer - not like you have a one-size-fits-all program. That makes me feel really good. Thanks so much for all your help.

Hilary

I find it bemusing that I am losing weight and eating so much. I have definitely not been feeling hungry (quite the opposite). I have had people notice how slim I am looking, and I tell them about you and how I am eating more (and better) than I ever have, and doing weights.

Rebecca

Turning 40, New Zealand

Great workout today! I love all your notes - they are so helpful. I'm learning so much. I also like that you let me know how hard an exercise should be - it helps me gauge whether I'm doing it correctly.

I'm feel great! Thanks so much. I'm so grateful I found your program.

I really don’t think there are words to describe just how much love and respect we all have for you and all that you do for us as women in this crazy world we live in. You are such a wealth of knowledge and we admire you as a coach and value your friendship.

Amy

50 Something, New Zealand

I feel stronger, healthier, more agile, more balanced and I love myself more. Its been a great self-care program that I really needed. I feel like this program gave me the structure (with enough flexibility and accountability) to get control of myself.

Four months later, I have achieved the physical results I hoped for and I also feel stronger emotionally and mentally. Thank you Melanie for helping to make the world a better place for women through your well thought through fitness programs.

Ana

My husband and I went golfing for the first time this season in Michigan. I beat him by 4 strokes which is very unusual. I had to adjust my clubs. I had too much strength in my arms and subsequently my swing. I don't need as much club as I've used in past season.

Whoa! Thank you Melanie! I wouldn't be here without you. So thrilled.
