What Client’s Say
Kevin
I know Mel to be a top tier physical trainer and he has guided me on my fitness journey for close to 20 years. When training with Mel, his knowledge of kinesthetics and physiology is obvious and I learn something new every week. His personalized approach constantly evolves around my current state of physical capabilities. Mel is multidimensional in his approach addressing all aspects of my physical health, from strength and cardio to balance and mobility. Mel cares deeply about his work and his clients. Simply stated, "Mel is the best".
Beth Miko
I’ve been training with Mel at M3 Studios for over three years, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Mel met me exactly where I was and guided me on a journey to rebuild my strength and agility. Mel is incredibly knowledgeable and has a unique talent for explaining new exercises in a way that’s easy to understand and makes them fun to try. Mel has truly been a game-changer in my fitness journey.

Turning sixty was a major wakeup call for me. After months of limping around with a painful knee, I decided it was time to do something about it. Immediately, the first and only place that came to mind was Mel and his studio in Hopewell. After consulting with Mel, we came up with a game plan. With a very strict and knowledgeable eye, Mel has helped me get back on the horse again and take back control of my physical mobility before it was too late. As I watch clients come in and out of his studio, it is very apparent what a blessing Mel is to the Hopewell and surrounding community. And, I am to report, my knee pain has disappeared and I can walk normally again.

Mel rocks the gym! He has been working with my 14 year-old daughter and knows
exactly how to motivate her in a positive, assuring way.
Mel's
training has not only provided physical transformation, but mental toughness as
well....his work with my daughter has given her the confidence to step outside
of her comfort zone and take some risks. Thank you, Mel!
Bob Bestwick
Working out with personal trainer extraordinaire...Mel Johnson who I have known for over 20 years as the best personal trainer in the State of New Jersey...if your trainer doesn't make you sweat like this, it's because he is not motivating you...maybe you should have a baby sitter instead of a personal trainer. Mel is the best.

Working with Mel is fantastic. His training and fitness has helped me to fortify myself physically and mentally. He's really given me a new outlook on what a health active lifestyle can be, and the routine he created for me has helped set me up for success. Thank you Mel and M3!
