M.E.L.T. Workout Studio

The short and sweet version is… If you have tried a million methods of losing weight this is the program for you. No gimmicks just workout with the best trainers and get results! I always struggled with motivation and this has kept me motivated and going longer than ever before.

I’ve been going to MELT for nearly two years and it never fails to totally kick my butt. The 30 minute workouts are intense with great support and guidance from the MELT coaches. I’m signed up for three classes a week and it’s always nice to be able to choose which area to work on (Tues/​Thurs are full body metabolic, Mon/​Wed/​Fri are legs, arms and core respectively). While the memberships are pricey, I’ve gotten SO much more out of these workouts than a simple cheapo gym membership.
I’m writing this because the old location closed and my review disappeared with it — but the new Glastonbury studio is wonderful with great spaces for working out (of course), plus personal item storage, etc. The online scheduling system is also efficient and you can even do it through the app (great for me because I’m always on the go).
Overall, highly recommended.

I’m having a hard time typing this, as my arms are beyond sore from yesterday’s melted upper body class.
In my hunt for a new fitness class place, m.e.l.t. kept popping up– recommendations here on Unilocal,Groupons, friends, etc. I decided to purchase the Groupon– $ 19 for 3 weeks unlimited. Purchasers of such Groupon must attend an orientation, which was a nice way to get everyone acclimated.
I will admit, I was skeptical about the workouts only being 30 – 35 minutes. My skepticism has subsided, and I am a believer. I felt more accomplished in those 30 minutes than I have in any hour long class, let alone my individual workouts at the gym. The instructors are great, motivating, but not in your face. They give different levels of difficulty, and alternate options for exercises if you’re not comfortable.
Classes may be signed up for online, which is convenient. There are plenty of class time selections, and what’s really great is that the classes are the same for the full day (ex: all Tuesday classes are meltabolic, Wednesday is melted upper body) so you don’t have to pick and choose certain times on different days.
I still have 2 ½ weeks left of my Groupon, and then I will consider purchasing a membership (seems fairly pricy though!).

I joined M.E.L.T about a month ago. My sister has been «melting» for almost 2 years, and she’s always raved about it, but I never thought a bootcamp style workout was for me until recently. I had tried Crossfit, and while I really enjoyed the workouts, I sometimes felt that i was just another nameless face that never really understood the movements. I wanted/​needed to lose weight, so I decided to give M.E.L.T a try. Now that I’ve started– I can’t imagine stopping! I love that the workouts are 30 minutes long– short enough to go by quickly, but long enough to kick your butt! I always feel great after finishing a workout and pushing myself as far as I can. The coaches are GREAT! They all remember my name after only a month, and seem to understand what I can and cannot do. They are always pushing me me to do my best! I would recommend M.E.L.T to any and everyone!

MELT offers a one-​free week trial membership. And after one week, I knew I had to sign up.
I’ve done gyms for years. Used them irregularly at best.
MELT is the anti-​gym experience. You have a good-​sized facility, trainers who know your name and want you to come in for training, and the workouts are challenging to your fitness level. They last 30 minutes.
Quick does not equal easy. Au contraire, mon frere! You’re moving the whole time, under the watchful eye of your trainer, and by the end, you will find yourself sweaty, tired, and thankful you survived.
Think you can’t «handle» boot camp classes? Neither did I until I went and saw that they customize your workout to your level and work around injuries. There are all ages, sizes and fitness levels that go. Feel self-​conscious? Surprisingly, I’ve never felt any judgement. You’re too busy trying to get through each station of the workout to notice anything other than what you’re doing.
I’ve been going to MELT for 4 months now. I go about 3−5x a week and I have not done the same exercise twice.
They have three locations: Glastonbury, South Windsor, and Harwinton.
And the other thing about MELT classes: they know you, and they know what you’re capable of, and thus they know when you’re slacking! The trainer will come over, give you a little smile, hand you a heavier weight, modify the form of an exercise, or make you drop deeper into a squat or lunge while asking you perkily: «Do you feel that now?»
Oh, and if you’re a woman thinking this isn’t for you: think again. Just as many women attend then men. There are equal number of male and female trainers, too.
This is not those boot camps where the trainers yell at you. They definitely push you. They motivate you. And they congratulate you. You will discover that your body, and you, are much stronger than you ever thought you could be. Your win is their win.
