Ready to get stronger, feel better, and actually enjoy the process? Thinking about getting back into the gym, but not sure where to begin? Let’s talk.
About Me
Hi, I’m Melissa—though many people call me “Missy.” You can also call me Coach.
I didn’t start my journey as a coach. I started as someone rebuilding from the ground up. In 2018, I was involved in a serious car accident that nearly cost me my life—and very nearly my left arm (yes, I’m left-handed, so that part really mattered).
In September 2019, I met Dr. Green after another physical therapy group told me I needed to accept the idea of being partially disabled. Together, Dr. Green and I decided to challenge that narrative. The road forward wasn’t easy, and it required time, consistency, and a lot of determination—but the work paid off. Not only did I exceed expectations, I’m now in better shape than I was before the accident.
I’ve always had a servant’s heart. After experiencing firsthand how powerful commitment and encouragement can be, I naturally began helping others in our small group classes. Sometimes all someone needs is a little guidance, reassurance, and belief that they’re not alone. With the right support, progress will happen. Now, here in 2026 I officially joined the caring group of coaches here at PTP Lab.
There’s a Shinedown song I love called “Get Up.” Its message is simple but powerful: even when life is tough, the courage to change is already inside you. Sometimes, the hardest—and most important—step is just deciding to get up and move forward.
And that’s where I come in. 💪
