About Melanie

 

 
Melanie Owen
Fitness Consultant
Personal Trainer
 
Melanie has been involved in the fitness industry for more than a decade. Her fitness career began in San Jose, California, teaching group fitness classes in a community center, health club and in a corporate environment, while working her corporate job. It was not until she moved to Kansas, with her husband, that she realized her desire to stay in the fitness industry was becoming more of a passion.

 

In 2002, Melanie expanded her fitness career by becoming a Certified Fitness Trainer with AFAA, and started her own Personal Training/Fitness Training Counseling business, while continuing to teach group fitness classes in several health organizations and communities around the greater Kansas City area.

 

To stay in the cutting edge of the fitness industry and to expand her knowledge, Melanie continues to take fitness certifications. She completed another Personal Fitness Trainer certification with the National Board of Fitness Examiner (NBFE), a newly formed organization to establish standardization among fitness professionals in this country. Last year, she became a Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant with American Council on Exercise (ACE). In addition to these credentials, Melanie also devotes time to reading and researching to keep up with changes in the health and fitness industry.

 

There was no more looking back for Melanie. In 2004, she founded Forever Fit, LLC, a company dedicated to providing fitness solutions, programs and support. Before long, she developed an exercise equipment called the Gym4LifeT Fitness System, which she also uses to train her clients in a program called PumpingRubber™.

 

In between her life as a Fitness Trainer/Counselor and a wife, she loves to travel. At home, she enjoys the company of her cat named Penny.

 

Melanie enjoys traveling with her husband Ken to exotic places.
