September Client of the Month... Melissa M!

We are excited to announce our Client of the Month for August… Melissa M!

Melissa is truly the epitome of hard work. Every time she enters the studio, she pushes herself and sets the intention to improve incrementally. Whether it’s increasing weights, nailing her form or just really “feeling it”, Melissa savors all the small victories that come with her workouts. And lately, there’s been some bigger victories as well.

Over the last year, Melissa has increased the intensity of her workouts and eagerly welcomed every challenge we’ve thrown at her. Some recent victories include hip thrusting more than her own body weight for reps, and overhead pressing 25 lb. dumbbells.

Her hard work has translated into success outside the gym as well. Since Melissa joined in December 2023, she has lost 9 lbs of fat and gained 3 lbs of muscle for a whopping 6.3% drop in body fat percentage. Additionally, she is down 3 levels of visceral fat from her increased activity levels and extra focus on clean eating!

Melissa’s day-to-day is quite busy running her own dental practice. When she first joined us, she hadn’t been exercising recently and found she had been prioritizing work over exercise. We’re incredibly proud to have watched her prioritize herself over the course of the last year and a half, and to see how her four weekly workouts have become a staple of her life. On a recent vacation, Melissa even scouted out the gym equipment she would have available, and insisted on getting in all four weekly workouts virtually from the Outer Banks! We’re so grateful to have Melissa as a part of our Fitness Together Burlington community, and can’t wait to continue watching her love for exercise grow!
