NOT JUST ANOTHER WORKOUT.
NOT JUST ANOTHER TRAINER.

This is Personal.

I’m Melanie Levy, movement coach, biomechanics nerd,
and no-BS hype girl behind the EmpowHer Method™.
I help women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s build real strength,
reconnect to their bodies, and finally feel supported

THIS IS STRENGTH
FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

Movement is just the beginning.

“Personal trainer” doesn’t even come close. I blend functional movement, mindset, and gratitude to help women shift how they move and how they see themselves. When you understand your body and feel supported, everything changes. 

WHAT I BELIEVE

Your workouts should support your real life, not wreck it.
Your coach should see you, not just your reps.
Understanding how your body moves and feels makes fitness sustainable. Strong shouldn’t mean burnt out.

IN HER WORDS...

“Mel brings out the best in me. Her patience, expert guidance, and the uplifting community she’s built have helped me stay strong, focused, and pain-free.”

-Mela B

IN HER WORDS...

“Mel’s program helped me return to fitness in a way that felt sustainable and supportive. Her attention to my individual needs, form, and accountability, made this so much more than a workout. It feels like whole body wellness for me.”

-Danielle V.

IN HER WORDS...

"Mel’s small group training is the best thing that’s happened to me this year (besides getting married!). I’ve made friends, built strength, and finally feel excited about fitness and supported every step of the way.”

-Ashley O

IN HER WORDS...

“I came to Mel to improve body control and now I’m stronger, more mobile, and even sleeping better after years of shoulder pain. I feel steady, capable, and finally in charge of how my body moves and feels. It feels satisfying knowing I am taking care of my health."

-Liz D.

IN HER WORDS...

"Melanie has single-handedly helped me reconnect with and re-learn my body after a very extensive surgery. As a former athlete and lifelong active person, having to re-train full body mechanics felt daunting. But Melanie has made it fun, exciting, and easier than I had imagined."

-Hayes H.

IF YOU WAIT, NOTHING CHANGES.

You’re ready to stop holding yourself back.

You don’t need another challenge. You need a coach who sees your potential, helps you believe in it, and builds a program around you.

FITNESS THAT
