Melissa Rivers

My experience as a private trainer to people of various fitness levels and backgrounds has strengthened my belief that anyone can reach their fitness goals and lead a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy empowering people with motivation, education, and a well rounded fitness program to help achieve the best results.  I specialize in weight loss strategies and resistance training programs while maintaining balanced wellness. Growing up I was competitive in team gymnastics, soccer, and track. I enjoy many different outdoor recreational activities as well as dedication inside the gym and hope to share my passions with others. I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology from James Madison University, with a Major in Exercise Science and a Minor in Exercise Leadership. I am completing a Master of Science degree in Exercise Physiology. I am a NASM certified personal trainer.
