"“I tried Melt years ago and came back this year — it’s on a whole different level now. Barbell work, CrossFit lifts, benchmarks, and multiple programs for any schedule. Matt keeps improving everything, and the progress is real — I went from banded pull ups to 8 unassisted.”"

"“Melt completely changed how I train. At 29, I’m in the best shape and strongest I’ve ever been. The variety and structure are unmatched — strength, MetCons, PPL, and 30-min workouts for any schedule. I’ve hit numbers I never thought possible, and the community + coaching push you to level up.”"

"“After college football, I needed something that pushed me mentally and physically — Melt delivered. A year in, through MetCon, Hybrid, and Full Body Strength, I’m in the best shape of my life, even as a new dad. The scaled options let my wife train with me, and the community keeps us consistent.”"

"“I’ve been following Matt’s programming for months and the daily variety feels like a choose-your-own plan. Across the 6-week blocks my strength and movement have skyrocketed. The workouts are smart, detailed, and Matt is quick to answer questions and take feedback. Truly fits every fitness level.”"
