Where's Melissa Adylia Calasanz of Controlled Burn Fitness?

Where Did She Go?

Good Question

Hello there,

This is Melissa Adylia Calasanz of Controlled Burn Fitness. I’m still here. I’m still working hard. I have not forgotten about all my wonderfully inspiring and hard working clients. In fact, I think of y’all daily.

I had put off going back to school because the success of my business, and the love for my clients, demanded too much of my time. Fortunately, when the business suffered a fire (yes, I said “fortunately”), and had to be closed in May 2011, I finally had the opportunity to put my business and the majority of my clients on hold, and head back to school full time.

I am currently enrolled in the Saint Mary’s of California LEAP Program, as well as enrolled at Glendale Community College, completing a Dance Teaching Certificate and working with my amazing professor, Dora Krannig, on an independent study research project. I am getting ready to begin my last face-to-face Saint Mary’s class on Monday, May 20^th. I am also rounding out my research project with Dora at GCC in preparation for an internship (hopefully at USC), which will combine my health and fitness expertise, my dance training and experience as a professional dancer, and my passion for helping people attain and maintain healthy balanced and functional bodies, as I consider pursuing a Masters in Gerontology.

Please keep in touch with me on Facebook and check in to the ControlledBurn Fitness Facebook page to keep up to date on any events, classes, and workshops I will be holding in the near future.

Also, if you happen to be age 55 or older, please take a moment to fill out This Survey. Your answers will be very helpful in assisting me with the work I am doing on a research project that focuses on raising the standards of group fitness classes offered for active adults, age 55+. By completing the survey, and including all your contact information, you will be eligible to participate in upcoming 6am group classes that will be held on Wednesday mornings in Glendale, CA, FREE of charge* (Valued at $25 per class).*Restrictions apply. 

If you have any questions, or would like to book at 6am Personal Training Session, Private Group Fitness Class or Workshop for 1-5 participants, please leave a message on the Controlled Burn Fitness Facebook page, and I will get back to you as soon as I am able.

It would be great to hear from you!

Wishing y’all a Happy and Healthy Day!

Hard work, a little discomfort, humbling realizations of weakness...Must remember it will all be worth it. Move your body, exercise your mind, challenge yourself and thank the people who support you.

The Biggest Loser Season 14

Do you want to live a happy healthy and functional life?

Or do you crave abuse from someone who has been put upon a pedestal by Television Network Executives?

A NOTE to people who hope to lose weight and are Biggest Loser Fans 

Though I have a reputation for being an intense and demanding personal trainer, working out efficiently, and losing weight successfully does NOT require a trainer to SCREAM and push a client to puking, falling, fainting, and risking injury! 

If that is the type of workout you crave, please look elsewhere for a personal trainer who promotes self-abuse, because that is NOT something I would ever endorse, promote, or deliver to any of my Controlled Burn Fitness clients.
I am happy to admit that I am actually a fan of The Biggest Loser. 

I do appreciate that the show does inspire many people to start moving and reevaluate the decisions they make about food and fitness.

However, I do not support the abusive nature of training that is presented during each episode.
Please, be kind to your body, even when pushing it to it's limits, so it will be willing to continue to deliver what you demand from it.
Stay happy, healthy, productive and kind!
Cheers!

Avoid Unnecessary Injuries #1

Foundation Exercises for the Feet

Toe Articulation Warm

Caring for your feet it the first step in creating a healthy, balanced, and functional body.

Devoting as much time to your feet as you do to your workouts helps minimize the risk of injury.

Many running-related injuries, such as shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and calf-strain, can be avoided by performing these exercises on a regular basis.

If you are considering transitioning to a minimal or barefoot running style, these exercises are especially important to add to your regularly scheduled fitness routine.

The following, informal video, shows Personal Trainer and USA Track and Field (USATF) Certified Level 1 Coach, Melissa Adylia Calasanz of Controlled Burn Fitness, performing the first few foundation exercises for the feet from a Controlled Burn Fitness Class.

Apologies for the abrupt ending due to the late realization that the feet were out of the shot during the last exercise

Your Feet are Your Foundation
