**Meet the Founder: Mel Grauds
Founder & Lead Personal Trainer**
Mel’s fitness story started exactly where many women begin—feeling unsure, overwhelmed, and stuck in routines that weren’t delivering results. After years of high-intensity workouts, long cardio sessions, and burnout, she discovered strength training… and everything changed.
Strength training helped Mel build:
• Confidence
• Energy
• A sustainable routine she actually enjoyed
• A body that felt strong, capable, and resilient
Inspired by her own transformation, Mel became a Certified Personal Trainer and left her full-time career as a Registered Nurse to create a space where women could experience the same life-changing shift.
Today, Mel leads the Melrose Training team and stays personally involved with every client through kickoff calls, progress check-ins, and ongoing support—ensuring every woman feels guided, understood, and empowered in her fitness journey.
