Episode 304 – Every Person Starts Their Journey As A Beginner with FitGurlMel Melissa Alacantara

Published on

I love the incredible people I meet within the cast of my programs! From Hip Hop Abs to Let’s Get Up these people work to help connect and inspire people all over the world!  

On todays @trustandbelivepod encore episode, I am bringing back a cast member of INSANITY MAX:30 that inspired people through my program and beyond. You may remember her well known line “if you can’t do one, DO THREE!”. And the story she tells of her journey lets us know that’s really how she lives her life.  

You may know her as Kim Kardashian’s Personal Trainer, and we’ll touch on that, but this episode is about getting to know FitGurlMel, Melissa Alacantara.

In a very candid episode of Trust and Believe with Shaun T, Melissa gives straight talk about sustainability, how REAL change happens with you and how she leads by example from her 50 lb. weight loss transformation, to celebrity personal trainer.

Discussed on today’s show:

  • Melissa’s yo-yo struggle with her weight and leaving behind her poor health habits 
  • The turning point where Melissa decided to start INSANITY for the first time and how it changed her life forever 
  • How Melissa’s dreams came true when she ended up in the cast of INSANITY MAX:30
  • How a viral photo moved Melissa across the country to be a celebrity fitness trainer 
  • Melissa’s take on nutrition after being a part of a fitness competition 
  • How to manage being a mom and working a full time job without feeling like a failure
