Purpose built training to future proof your body

You don't need another workout split you need a system.

A system that develops strength, power, capacity, and control, not just muscle.

Welcome to Melissa LeRoux Training.

I am here to equip individuals to build lifelong strength, resilience, and confidence through structured, progression-based coaching. I teach my clients to train with purpose, not punishment, by intentionally structuring training sessions to address what most approaches overlook:

mobility, rotation, stability, unilateral strength, and joint integrity - alongside progressive strength and conditioning.

This is performance driven training with longevity as the priority. The objective is not short term results, but durable strength, efficient recovery, and the capacity to train well for years, not seasons.

Training Smarter & Training Harder

WHO IS THIS FOR

This training is for those who:

Want strength that is supported by movement quality.
Are performance driven but longevity focused.
Expect structure, progression, and purpose in their training.
Are ready to move beyond generic workouts and stagnant results.

Training Focus

What You Will Gain

Every training session is designed to deliver:

Structured, purpose driven session design with clear performance intent.
Training that prioritizes joint integrity and movement quality, reducing pain rather than creating it.
Integrated development of strength, mobility, stability, speed, and power.
Aerobic and anaerobic capacity development to support sustainable, real-world performance.

The problem with most training programs/ sessions

Only train in one plane. (forward/back)
Ignore imbalances and unilateral work.
Lack mobility, rotation, or stability.
Prioritize load without control.
Random workouts with no progression.

The Solution

This training approach is built around how the body functions:

Integrated rotation and lateral movement.
Progressive sequencing from control, to load, to power.
Foundational strength established before higher performance demands.
Mobility and stability embedded into every training session.
Plyometric work and energy system development to support real-world capacity.

My aim is to build capacity for my clients by giving them the knowledge and skills to achieve their goals. This capacity arms clients with a toolset to create resilient bodies which are healthy and strong.

I believe in a formula that allows you to not only feel strong but to train pain-free with more energy. The formula is simple. It includes a structured plan consisting of exercise and food choices which bring the least amount of stress to the body.

Simply put, the best exercises and nutrition that are going to develop a strong body with the least amount of injury or risk.

Throughout my 20s and for my most of my 30s I was heavily over-exercising. This included an excess of cardio and a strength training regime fit for a strongman contest. I looked fit, but my body and mind were worn-out. I struggled with insomnia, chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalances, food cravings, and feeling constantly overwhelmed. To top it all off, I was making poor nutrition choices that left my body depleted. It felt like I was completely falling apart.

All attempts to heal my body failed. Switching cardio routines failed, changing exercises failed, stretching, foam rolling, hot baths, and different diets, all failed. Some provided temporary relief, but the inflammation and exhaustion always returned.

I decided to take a step back into a season of rest and research. What I found was practicing slow steady consistency with each workout was key to recovery. I have replenished my body with smart nutrition and have learned the value of eating enough. And I am happy to say, I have recovered!

I continue to have a deep desire to learn and grow my knowledge specifically around biomechanics and how physics is essential for human movement and the application of proper exercise methods. I have learned that you CAN develop a strong body while still maintaining healthy joints, all the while creating a healthy mindset around food and nutrition.

I seek to build fit and strong bodies that are resilient to injury. It is about intentional, highly effective, goal-oriented training that does not wear your body down.

Melissa doesn't just coach for aesthetics, she coach's for life. She has this way of encouraging, assessing, and helping me address not just my fitness but also my mental, emotional and spiritual health. This has helped me change and grow in many aspects of life.

What stands out about Melissa is her attention to detail. She watches every rep, adjusts on the fly, and explains why we are doing what we are doing. Sessions are organized and structured and I have made a ton of progress in my strength and mobility.

Chantel Patel

I came into sessions to lose weight, but I got so much more. My mindset, energy levels, and relationship with food and exercise has completely shifted in a way that is sustainable and works. Melissa teaches discipline in a way that feels empowering, and not restrictive.

Samantha Doyle

Melissa follows up with me after each session without fail. She is genuinely invested in how I am doing and feeling. She is often sending me encouraging messages, podcasts, book recommendations and more. I feel fully supported, and its why I have been training with her for over 5 years now.

At 56, I did not think I would be getting stronger, but I am! Melissa's coaching is built on progression, not gimmicks. She meets you where you are, then raises the bar, safely, intelligently, and with care.

Julie Reid

I use to dread workouts, but have found I now look forward to them and crave them after working with Melissa for a few short months. She brings this calm intensity that pushes me without overwhelming me. I never thought I would say that I actually look forward to my workouts now.

Working with Melissa has improved my strength and nutritional habits dramatically. I move better and without pain and I am able to eat in a way that gives me energy, and smart weight management tools. The long term commitment to sessions with her is worth it.
