I have been looking for personal fitness trainer that knows how to challenge me with my workout and goals. After almost a year of being home with no gym and yoga studio and gaining extra lbs from staying home due to pandemic. Melissa of Buns and Guns Bootcamps know exactly how to get me back into my fitness routine. A friend of mine who's been training with Melissa recommend that I should try and get back to training and hire Melissa. I didn't hesitate with her recommendation after seeing obvious great results of my girlfriend who's training w Melissa. I told Melissa on our first meeting what I want to work on with my body and what I want to improve with my fitness goals and she listened and made me feel confident with her workout plans that I'm going to achieve my goals. I love all our trainings, 1 hr of full body and 1 hr of lower body series twice a week. Every session, she comes with fun, challenging kick ass workout. Shes great at keeping me motivated even on the hard / super challenging circuit. She makes it fun and motivating!!!!! She's also very professional and organized and very accommodating with my crazy schedule. Melissa also gives back to our beach community with her beach clean up program every Saturday morning at Alamitos Beach. Training with Buns and Guns for full hour twice a week gives such amazing results and I can say that she def made me reached my fitness goals in a matter of 4 months of training. If you are looking for personal trainer or would like to join small group private training, I highly recommend Buns and Guns Bootcamp! It's fun, challenging, motivating and very inspiring!!!! Thank you Melissa / Buns and Guns Bootcamp for all the amazing things that you do to our community here in Long Beach!!!

I started buns and guns Bootcamps in December of 2020. I am incredibly thankful to have found Melissa. The groups are always so friendly, encouraging and great energy. I never feel self-conscious or uncomfortable working out, whereas before when I went to classes at the gym I dreaded being in those groups, and my form was never checked. Melissa always makes sure we have correct form, motivates us to push for more, and makes it fun. My journey to a healthier lifestyle is nothing without Buns & Guns! read more

Buns & Guns Bootcamps - Fitness Coach and great friend! - Boot Camps Near Me

Being a fellow fitness aficionado I've tried my fair share of boot camps and this one was seriously the best. As another reviewer mentioned, the beachside location was such a gorgeous view on top of a killer workout! The top two ways I gauge a great workout: 1. If the instructor caters to a varied group of fitness levels (newbies v. seasoned). They totally nailed this one. Everyone was monitored for safe form and the pace was perfect for all levels. Definitely a go-at-your-own-pace between all the timed stations. 2. If the time flies by. I'm sure the view helped but these ladies led the training in such a fun positive way! I blinked and it was over, even though I was sweating like a beast. Melissa is the bees knees!!!! Planning to incorporate this bootcamp into my workout plan for sure read more

I love training with Melissa!! I have been training with her and a one of my friends and it is so much fun to do a group bootcamp together. She does an amazing job of motivating and switching up the workouts so its always something new and different. Great energy and super positive. So while your burning on those last few reps she's right there to cheer you on. I would highly recommend her training camp for anyone looking to tone up. I had a baby six months ago and she is great at always offering a modification if something is too much or isn't working for your fitness level. Always and option to make it harder too so there is something to work toward. We have been doing the camps at the beach so what more could you ask for?! Go check out her bootcamp and I promise you will not reg read more

I started with Melissa (Buns and Guns Bootcamps) last summer (June 2017) at 5 months postpartum. I tried working out on my own after having my baby, but had a hard time staying consistent. I tried her bootcamp and loved it! Each bootcamp combines cardio and strength exercises. She's always switching up the equipment and exercises so it never gets boring. Melissa also creates a fun, supportive environment to get in a tough workout for all fitness levels and offers individual modifications for exercises if needed. I also love that she teaches me exercises that I can do at home while watching TV. Not only is Melissa a great fitness coach, but also an amazing motivator. She genuinely cares about her clients, and helps all her clients lead healthier lifestyles. She is always posting on Instagram motivational quotes, healthy food, and pictures of her at the gym. Melissa helped me lose over 20 lbs since last summer! I'm almost back to my weight before I had a baby. But even more important, I'm feeling more comfortable and confident in my own skin. I've followed Melissa to Walnut Creek, Oakley, and Concord. I promise you, she is that good! read more
