Mel Lofgren Fitness

Teaching former athletes & beginners how to gym!

My mission is to provide affordable training to former athletes and gym newbies.

I prioritize your brain, body confidence, and self-love while pursuing a physically healthy body. My goal is to get you to move your body for your mind and empower you to be your best self!

Let’s create a sustainable workout routine and find a diet that fits your brain, life, and health needs.


Managing mental health, relationships, and life while maintaining a healthy relationship with diet & exercise is difficult. I can help you create a sustainable workout routine and find a diet that fits your brain and health needs.

 


Overwhelmed, distracted, & bored at the gym?

Is not knowing what to do in the gym holding you back? Having trouble fitting exercise into your routine?

I GOT YOU!

If you are anything like me then a lack of movement and too much take-out & frozen meals for dinner only exacerbates your brain functioning & just makes adulting and daily obligations more difficult!

I am here to help you take your workouts into your own hands, see results, & make sure you are exercising for your physical AND mental health goals.

All whilst working WITH your schedule and brain!

I’ve always wanted to be strong AF! So, I taught myself how to get there!

I help you reach specific physical goals, while focusing on finding a routine and workout style that works for your mental health and life.

Pricing Philosophy

I believe healthcare is a basic human right. Having access to health care and education is a part of life; it is not something you should need to have money to receive. The lack of these services perpetuates unjust systems in our Western world. By restricting access to essential health maintenance, care, and education, we are saying that health is a privilege afforded to those with money and time. Health is a basic human right, and everyone deserves to live a healthy life, no matter their circumstance. Every single person deserves to experience life with joy, freedom, and the love of one’s full self. This is why I prioritize my services for QTIPOC persons. Using a sliding scale helps to lower costs for people on a limited budget.

If you feel I am the right coach for you, but my prices worry you, ask about my sliding scale and shoot me an email. It never hurts to ask!

My primary goal is to help you move your body according to your brain’s and body’s needs.

I am here to help you learn how to love and appreciate your whole self while navigating your brain and busy life.
