Melina is amazing. This woman knows her stuff. She is a kinesiologist as well as a personal trainer. She has tremendous knowledge and uses it to help you find your limitations and go beyond them. She also has tremendous compassion. She will push you past your perceived limits, or hold you back if you are working with an injury. She is mindful of your safety and will not steer you wrong. My experience with her is excellent and I’m halfway to my goals after a short time. LMA staff are all friendly and encouraging and they’ve built a really great culture!

Signing up and having Melinda F as my trainer has been one of the most enjoyable gym events I have ever experienced! She has geared my workouts to reflect the end result I am looking for. Not only is she friendly and fun, she is knowledgeable, experienced and encouraging. I look forward to my sessions and am seeing and feeling positive changes with my body and its movements ie: balance, strength etc., it’s been great for me!

I started at Loaded Movement Academy with private sessions with Will, and he was incredible — dialed in on technique, focused on proper form, and able to customize my workouts around a few injuries. Once I built my foundation, I moved into the semi-private classes and haven’t looked back. You follow a structured plan, but you’re surrounded by a community that makes showing up easy. Every coach and every person in the room is supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your progress. The environment here is unmatched. Loaded Movement Academy has become a non-negotiable part of my life. I appreciate everyone here more than they know. Literal life changer.

I am not one to write many reviews but my time with LMA has made it impossible not to. Adam, Kar and the team are some of the best at what they do and the services they offer are phenomenal. From day one I have felt welcome, heard and most importantly supported. I started off on the semi private training group, which I strongly recommend to anyone looking to get back into fitness after some time off! Melinda and Beth were so great at correcting form and pushing you through your sets so you are getting the most from your workouts. The group atmosphere was pretty awesome as well! Then I transitioned into remote coaching with my coach Matt who gives great feedback, support and check ins. He was quick to work with me on my hangups, work load and items just holding me back generally. I can’t recommend this service enough to anyone looking to start, restart or continue their fitness journey! They genuinely care about their clients and it shows everyday!

As someone completely new to the gym world, I was pretty intimidated about getting started with weight training, but from the moment I walked in, everyone at LMA was incredibly welcoming and supportive. Rebekah has been an amazing coach. She’s not only knowledgeable but also takes the time to explain both the how and the why behind each movement. I really appreciated how she broke things down and made sure I understood the science behind what we were doing—it made the whole process much less overwhelming and a lot more empowering. Rebekah was super encouraging, and always hyped me up. Thanks to her guidance and support, I now feel much more confident in the gym. I've gained new skills, strength, and a solid foundation to keep building on. I’m so grateful for the experience—this team truly sets you up for success! Also shout-out to Janeva, Melinda, and Beth for answering my questions and helping me find my way around the gym. The whole team genuinely cares, and it really shows. Highly recommend LMA to anyone. It’s a solid place to learn, get stronger, and see progress.
