Despite the fact that Melissa’s gym, Optimum Condition, was literally right under my nose in El Cajon, I never knew it existed all these years I lived here. I had no expectations other than deciding to find an experienced and available trainer who didn’t live light years away. Melissa has been a godsend and blessing beyond belief. She has a fully equipped, state-of-the-art gym and works to provide one-on-one personal attention and a program tailored to fit your every need, whether it’s personal coaching, health coaching or rehab exercises. She has a degree in Biological Sciences, is a former EMT, a Corrective Exercise Specialist, and has studied numerous other healing modalities; Melissa is always learning. I look forward to spending time each week in her gym. In the relatively short time I’ve been working with her, I can visibly see the changes in my flexibility and strength. Melissa truly cares about people, and I’m truly grateful that I have the opportunity to work with her.

I recently started working with Melissa and she has been great. Any questions I have she responds right away. Any concerns or change up I want with my workout routine she accommodates. I would highly recommend her services.

Melissa, the owner, is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. She set up a program for me to help me lose weight and get in better shape. It's only been 2 weeks and I'm already noticing a difference!

Wow! I've been a client of Melissa's for a little over a month. I had surgery on May 13th and wanted to get back into fitness safely and correctly after my restrictions lifted. Her blended medical and fitness background was a major draw for me.With Covid-19, the hybrid curriculum has been amazing!Melissa listened well to my limitations, concerns, and goals. She then tailored a program specifically for me and the meager exercise equipment I already had available at my house. And she constantly checks in on me to ensure none of the exercises are causing me pain or discomfort while I continue to heal. And the absolute best part? It fit into my budget. And she has tiers to help with various budget restrictions!I love the accountability the hybrid program created by completing workouts on time and logging them on the app. Melissa monitors my progress, offers encouragement, and checks in often.The occasional face-to-face interactions (done incredibly safely during these current times) are also an amazing piece of the puzzle.I feel fully cared for, monitored, and have no doubt we'll see results. I already feel so much stronger and capable than I have in a long time. And I have confidence back that had faded. I've no regrets whatsoever making the decision to invest in my health this year. And I'm oh so pleased with Optimum Condition and Melissa! Thank you!!!I absolutely recommend you check 'em out if you're looking for a personal trainer!

Working with Melissa is a great workout particularly since I am 77 years old. She tailored our routine in accordance with my ability. When I stared I could not even get off the floor. Eventually I became stronger and was able to accomplish that.She is very knowledgeable about exercise science and has many certifications. She is very understanding and works with people that are disabled. I would definitely recommend any of her classes.

I was very interested in a strength building program for a long time. My husband had been successfully working with Melissa for about six months, when I decided to also work with her. Melissa provided a customized program for me. During the eight months I worked with her, I steadily improved and reached several goals I had set for myself. I recommend Melissa to any one who is interested in getting a very knowledgeable, and professional Coach and motivator.

Melissa has been my personal trainer for 10 years. I had 2 knee surgeries, went to physical therapy 2-3 times a week and worked out with Melissa. My orthopedic surgeon was impressed with the speedy recovery and the improved strength in both knees. Additionally, Melissa worked with me to strengthen my back. I admire and respect Melissa for her knowledge and professionalism.

This is a great atmosphere for those who are shy with working out. I struggle with weight and the one on one was really helpful in becoming confident and develop skills for workouts. Highly recommend!

Melissa at Optimum condition has worked with me for a few weeks. She is by far the best trainer I have had, taking care to fully understanding my physical condition and my goals. Specializing in a workout routine that is safe and effective. She has helped me to achieve physical strength, flexibility and overall better health. Melissa's great attitude makes this time fun and she plays my favorite music. I am grateful that I was able to find Optimum Condition, a perfect fit! After I have spent time and money at traditional gyms and their trainers walking away hurt and having no results or longevity of a routine. I am excited to continue on this journey of health!
