“I highly recommend Russ Melgar for your personal trainer. I started my workouts with Russ when I was diagnosed with a torn meniscus. Fifteen years later, Russ is still my personal trainer.

Russ is not just a personal trainer, he’s really smart and analytical. He has an amazing ability to determine what kind of training is right for you. So, he’s able to develop a personalized personal training program, just for you.”
