I've struggled with my weight since my mid-twenties. I'd spent a year really "trying to do it myself" and not getting anywhere. I was a complete beginner. I started working with Mark and his online studio around the beginning of April. Since then, I've lost 23 pounds and was able to go on a family vacation and actually participate in a lot of activities that I previously hadn't been able to do due to my weight and associated problems. Yes, the workouts are challenging, especially for beginners, but Mark worked with me to adapt the exercises to my fitness level, and continues to push me to my limits. He corrects us on anything he sees in the live sessions and will take the time to explain everything. His educational materials are awesome and cover a variety of topics. And lastly, the meal plans and recipe book are not only tasty, but a huge time saver. So many delicious, easy, and affordable recipes and meal plans to choose from! No more Googling or searching Pinterest for hours looking for recipe ideas! Overall, I absolutely love this program and highly recommend it!

I've hit my 2nd year anniversary in The Meltdown program. We modified to online sessions when COVID hit. It's really convenient to workout at home! Don't have to travel far! And you can have an awesome workout and see results without all the gym equipment! You can do online live or a pre-recorded session. He explains the exercise and watches to ensure we are doing it properly. He provides constructive feedback and encouragement. I continue the program because I want to be strong and healthy overall, And did I mention access to an awesome online playbook library with tips, tricks, nutritional, well being, and overall health information, motivational content, action and goal plans, assessments, challenges with meal plans to include the shopping list and recipes and so much more! This program is worth its weight in gold and will definitely change your life for the better!

As a mother and full time employee, I had an extremely hard time staying motivated and making myself workout. I started working out a little over 2 months ago with Mark's guidance and a great group of girls and have already lost 25 lbs. It has honestly been the best and a life changing experience. In the past, I tried going to the gym on my own and eating healthier but nothing stuck. However, Mark encourages you to push beyond what you think your capable of through a series of circuit training/weight lifting and provides you with online learning and a diet plan that's easy to follow. I have already seen so many changes and I know it's just the beginning. I look forward to my morning workouts Mon-Fri. If you are looking to lose weight or simply get in shape, I HIGHLY recommend Mark Valenti. I promise you won't go wrong!!

I joined with The Meltdown about six months ago which was one of the best decision I've made. If you're looking for a great workout and results then this is the place to come and get it. Coach Mark has great workout plans which he makes very challenging. In the six months working out with him I can see the changing in myself. I also like the Done-For-You Challenges with the meal plans he offers. The last one I participated in was Little Black Dress Challenge and I lost 8 pounds of Body fat and lost 7.75 inches in only 28-Days! Just don't take my word come join us you will love it.....

I highly recommend joining Mark's program. He is there for us every step of the way and provides helpful resources and encouragement. Having live workouts in a group is great and Mark is there to provide immediate feedback. Mark always provides a variety of exercises which makes working out fun. He also helps you stay motivated and is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition and fitness. Great program and great trainer - I highly recommend The Meltdown Transformation program!

I just completed a 4-week Little Black Dress Challenge from the Meltdown! WOW! What an amazing program! Not only has it changed the way I exercise, but it also helped me learn how to prepare healthier meals. Mark is an amazing coach and trainer! He cares about each and every one of us. He is constantly offering us the best exercises and the best way of doing them for greater results! Come and check it out! You will be amazed!

I have tried to get back in shape and shed weight for years and I just couldn’t find the right solution or motivation. I stumbled across Mark in February 2019. This has been the most supportive & effective place I’ve ever seen. He has a no fail program if you “just try”. The meals (are full of flavor), workouts (results driven) and community of (caring) people are beyond a blessing to me. These last 3-4 months have been sheer joy. This has been a complete game changer for my life. Mark is the fairy Godfather of getting results. He’ll guide you to success if you just try and believe. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
