Flawless Fitness

Stopped in to check it out. Very small. Not a lot of privacy. A high sales tactic is not really my cup o tea either. Not for me. My search continues.

Starting off the new year with a renewed commitment to fitness, I was looking for a class close to home in Pasadena. I was a little skeptical about a place with 17 5-star reviews, but in just a few weeks I'm feeling so much better! Melody is terrific - fun and knowledgeable. I can't recommend her and Flawless Fitness highly enough!

This place is phenomenal! Melody is super sweet. The place is dog friendly. Melody lets you chose your workout music. I recommend you do an internet search on Melody Schoenfeld so you can read about her degrees and certifications. She has the knowledge and over 20 years of experience to backup her knowledge bombs so you should listen. Melody's workout are intense, but she is flexible and willing to work with you.

I asked Melody if we could change the exercise routines from weights and equipment to just body weight exercises because I wanted to continue the exercises at home or the local park. Because of her years of knowledge and experience she easily came up with a challenging workout routine costume tailored for me. When working with Melody give her your honest limitations (health condition, fitness level, your determination level to improve your fitness level, etc).

Leave your ego/pride at the door. Melody will push you and the next day when my body is all sore I may have some choice words to say in my head. Melody is pleasant to work with, but she will kick your butt. The gym is clean, fresh water is provided, and the restroom is neat. Do your future self a favor and go see Melody.

Melody is passionate about her mission to help people get and stay inspired to be the best they can be. She designs her own equipment, walks the walk and is very committed to her clients. Five feet of fury!

Melody is a great coach and fitness partner! She put me immediately at ease but keeps a strict focus on form and precision during the sessions. She respects my time and knows how to pack in an extremely efficient workout in a short 30 minutes, which leaves me feeling strong and winded. Perfect for busy schedules.

You need to train with Melody. She's amazing. One of the best decisions I've made was to train with Melody. She is top notch. She's well informed and shares her vast knowledge in a way that is engaging and easy to apply. Her lack of ego is refreshing, especially in the fitness industry. She's creative and has a lot of fun equipment and gear to work with (kettle bells, maces, atlas stones, chains, and a whole lot more) which means workouts are always challenging and fun. I've noticed a big change in my body composition and my strength since I started working with her. She is also trained in body work and nutrition which makes her a great resource if you are looking to fine tune your diet or if you have a minor injury.

I've been working with Melody, mostly going to her super affordable afternoon bootcamps, for about 8 or 9 years. I have to say that she really knows her stuff, every workout is a little bit different, utilizing kettle bells or mace balls or these big sloshy things or Indian clubs. It's never boring. Always challenging. I highly recommend her.

Have you met Melody the trainer? You must not have because you haven't yet made a decision on having her train you. Once you meet her, you know she'll be a good (and safe!) time. I worked with Melody in a group format where she was teaching many trainers at once. She covered form, safety, and laughs while demonstrating a few kettlebell moves.

In that hour or so, I learned quickly that Melody is thoughtful, dorky, intelligent, strong as hell, and cares about her work. And my goodness is she well-read. She has a lot of information she's dying to share with you, be it in a one-on-one session or in a group. All that plus the ability to explain movement in an easily understandable format puts Melody at the top of my trainer list. Next time I'm in Pasadena I will be sure to stop by Melody's to get a little taste of being "Ant Strong."

When I first met Melody I hurt all the time. I have a laundry list of nagging, chronic issues that definitely took their toll physically and psychologically. I started in July 2014, and remember the first session well. I was introduced to barbells, kettlebells, and a few bodyweight exercises that I can guarantee I was doing wrong up to that point. 8 1/2 months later, my pain has drastically gone down, my strength has noticeably increased and I now have pleasant dreams about all manner of heavy metal objects that test the limits of my capabilities.

The basic gist is, if you'd like to get stronger, hurt less, and have someone that shows you that you're capable of much more than you thought, I would highly suggest paying Melody a visit.

I've been going to Melody for a year now, and I feel so much stronger and healthier. I am not the big gym type. So, Flawless Fitness was perfect. Melody provides a personalized workout, and pushes you to get better. I recommend Melody all the time to friends and family, and it's great to support a local business. Her group classes have a great comradery, and are very affordable. Go see her, you won't regret it.

About four months ago I was reading these reviews when I was looking for a trainer. Flash forward to today and I'm 20 pounds lighter, waaaayyyyy stronger and can't imagine life without working out with Melody. Her attention to detail and expertise is balanced by a great personality and I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an option to a corporate fitness club. Thank you Melody!

Melody is an amazing woman. I've been training with her on and off for about 5 years. We joke about how she beats us but honestly, I never regret the sore muscles and achy joints. She makes me feel good about myself and at times, I think she cares more about me than I do. She's a constant source of encouragement not just to exercise more but to look at all aspects of my life and work on other areas that aren't healthy like habits, relationships, etc., that keep me from becoming not just a physically healthy but emotionally healthy too.

So you could say she's a two for one deal, trainer and therapist! If you have been looking to find a supportive place/person to train and workout, you can't do any better than Melody and Flawless Fitness.

Melody is great and you should definitely check her out. My husband and I have been coming to Melody for about 1 year. She offers both personal training and small group classes. Each session is 30 minutes which is very do-able and also makes going to her very affordable. Melody also will help you with diet/food suggestions. Her studio is efficient and nice and its very easy to come and go. Don't have to deal with parking structures and never being able to find parking like most chain gyms. Also, she's dog friendly.

My husband loves her early morning group classes and has made a lot of progress over the past year in terms of strength and overall body changes. He looks great! Melody also trained me throughout my pregnancy up until a week before delivery. My delivery was very easy and I credit a lot of that to working out consistently with Melody. I am trying to find the time (and will) to start going again regularly because I really do miss it.

Yahoo! Melody is amazing. Funny & wicked smart. My body is changing!

I've gone to Melody for personal training on and off for years and she is absolutely fantastic. Gives you a well-rounded, ass-kicking workout in a relatively short amount of time. Also she's an incredible massage therapist so if you throw your back out she can fix you before the end of your session. lol. Highly recommended.

Melody is awesome. Nice facility - clean and well lit. Plenty of parking. I attend group lessons. Melody is indeed the "angel of pain." Intense 30 minute workouts are convenient and effective. She pays detailed attention to technique and form. Also effective advice on changing my eating habits. Not dieting, but fundamentally making better food choices in a (hopefully) sustainable manner.

Great music, sense of humor, and the other clients are all supportive and friendly. Every January, my New Year's resolution is to lose 10-15lbs. Thanks to Melody, I've already lost about 10lbs less than three months, and my goal in 2015 is to maintain my current weight.

A few years ago, I did a Yelp search and Melody's name came up with amazing reviews. I definitely took note of all the glowing testimonials of Melody as a person and as a trainer, but my stubborn, out-of-shape self didn't take the plunge. Fast-forward to September 2013: After gaining 30 pounds over the past 4 years, I decided enough was enough.

I wanted to learn how to play tennis, but I realized that I also needed to get in shape first. So I finally emailed Melody to set up a fitness assessment and start training with her. Honestly, it was the best decision I ever made. I typically attend the group sessions, with some individual sessions thrown in here and there. Each time Melody switches up the exercises to keep the workouts fresh and interesting. Oh, and if you're worried about getting a tough enough workout, have no fear.

They are BRUTAL. Melody also happens to be a champion powerlifter, so she knows a thing or two about strength training. At the same time, Melody will work with you to achieve your fitness goals, and you can make your workouts with her as challenging as you want. She's not a sadist, but she will kick your butt. She'll push you to get stronger and make you like it. Did I mention that she's got a great sense of humor and excellent taste in music?

And she's also a licensed massage therapist, in case your body needs fixing after an intense workout. In the three months I've worked out with Melody, I've lost 17 pounds. And I plan to continue the awesome in 2014, with Melody's help. The proof is in the pudding. Sign up with Melody. You won't regret it!

I have a LOT of good things to say about the owner of this gym, Melody. Apart from being an awesome person, she is.an awesome trainer! I first found her using yelp, because I was looking for a personal trainer. I had lost my motivation for working out and was looking to gain that back. And of course, I wanted to tone up and look good! Well, Melody did just that!

She really helped make working out fun for me again and I started getting compliments on how good I was starting to look, too. I will always remember one time I told her she needed to charge more, because she was just THAT good. She told me she wouldn't, because she wants her services to be accessible to EVERYONE. WHO DOES THAT?!? Melody. That's who.

If you are looking for a trainer, group workouts, or just want to meet an awesome person, go and see Melody at her gym. It will be one of the best decisions you've ever made.
