Hello, my name is Melissa Deal, and I've been working as a Personal Trainer in the San Diego area since February of 2003.  I have always loved working out and viewed it as my outlet to relieve stress. Despite my passion for exercise, I never really felt like all my hard work was paying off. So I decided to get serious about fitness and become a Certified Personal Trainer. This helped me gain a whole new perspective on exercise and nutrition, and not only did I learn everything I could, but I applied this information to myself. Shortly after that, I started to see huge changes and improvements to my physique, strength and endurance.

The more knowledge I gained about exercise and nutrition, the more overall changes I saw both in, and out, of the gym.  In 10 weeks I lost over 25 pounds! By exercising and following a nutrition program, I had finally achieved the results I wanted.  Physically and mentally, I felt the best I had ever felt my whole life.  I knew that not only had I changed my life, but I had the ability to help and change the lives of others.  I set a goal and achieved it, and now I can do the same for you!

I'm not just a Personal Trainer, but I'm also a Licensed Sports Nutritionist and Performance Enhancement Specialist. I enjoy working with all different types of people, helping them to achieve their individual fitness goal.

Presently, I am still working hard on my own fitness goals. I competed this year in four Figure Competitions. I am proud to announce that I am now a National Level Figure Competitor! I will continue to compete and work hard on achieving my goal of becoming an IFBB Figure Professional. Just like personal training, competition is something I love and feel passionate about.

Living a healthy lifestyle had a huge positive impact on the person I am today. It has been a learning process and I have overcome a vast array of obstacles. I am grateful that I have gained so much wisdom along the way, and now I can share my knowledge with others.
