Testimonials
From Our Healthy Aging Clients
I have worked with Sophia Mellen as a personal trainer for about 18 months. After tearing my meniscus and reaching a plateau in physical therapy, my physician recommended strength training to address the persistent inflammation and pain in my knee. Sophia was very knowledgeable about the specific exercises that would help support the further recovery of my knee. Within a few weeks of working with Sophia, my knee was feeling markedly better and within a few months I was completely pain free. After 18 months my knee continues to feel great, and I continue to work with Sophia to stay on track with my exercise goals. Sophia brings great energy and a positive attitude to her training sessions, varies the exercises we do each session to keep things interesting, and frequently asks for feedback. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone who is looking for help with a specific issue or to improve their overall fitness.
“I began training with Sophia in June, 2024. At 47, I had become increasingly prone to injury and, as a result, had stopped exercising altogether. From our first session, I trusted Sophia to help me safely regain my strength and confidence. I have struggled with plantar fasciitis for years, and through targeted exercises and stretches she introduced, my pain is now well-managed. She is attentive, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in tailoring workouts to my specific needs. Before working with Sophia, I lacked motivation to exercise. Now, I genuinely look forward to our twice-weekly sessions. She has a remarkable ability to keep me engaged and laughing while also encouraging me to push beyond what I think I can do. Although Sophia is younger than many of her clients, she connects effortlessly across generations—often reminding us that we are all “seniors in training.” If you are seeking a skilled, compassionate, and engaging fitness instructor, whether for group classes or personal training, I give Sophia my highest recommendation.”
“With Sophia’s help, I surprised myself. I learned that I really could find some answers to help me have a better quality of life.”
“Sophia made me feel immediately comfortable, she has sensitivity, caring and wisdom that I wish I had. And she has a sense of humor, always a plus!”
“I would give Sophia a 10/10. She is earnest, encouraging, well-trained, and is an attentive listener. She is also very good at encouraging you to think about and devise ways to achieve your health and well-being goals AND to measure your progress to help you keep on track.”
“After being scheduled for hip replacement surgery, I began Personal Training with Sophia Mellen. My surgery date was not for almost three months which gave me time to prepare, as I had lost strength due to chronic pain. Sophia evaluated my condition and prepared a routine for me. She worked with me twice a week and I also tried to do some exercises on my own. I was anxious to make as much progress as possible. Post surgery, I waited several weeks to restart training. At first it was painful but gradually I regained strength and now continue to exercise with Sophia. I definitely am much stronger now and she continues to help me – Not pushing me too much, but encouraging me to do more. I do not feel I would have made this much progress had I not had the commitment to exercise with a qualified trainer.”
