I have been with Meral for about 7 years. She is absolutely amazing. She knows how to protect your body from any pain points and issues while pushing you to exceed your expectations. She is upbeat and encouraging, but will nonetheless kick your butt, exactly what I wanted in a personal trainer. I am in my 50's now and as strong as I've ever been. Not only is Meral one of the best at what she does, but she is also kind, fun, and warm to be around. For someone who always feels better after working out but still always wishes I had a reason not to exercise, she actually makes it something to look forward to in my day. I can't recommend Meral more highly to anyone of any age or level. She can do it all! read more

I researched a lot of options when I decided to get back to my health after our extended covid "holiday". I really wanted to focus on health, strength and appearance. I am very active but had fallen back into bad habits being at home so much. I found Meral and cannot recommend her enough!! She is amazing. She is encouraging, really listens to your goals (and all your other prattling during your workout) and walks her talk. She can help you with nutrition, weight lifting, cardio and is willing to work on your timeline/goals whether a slow track to better fitness or a fast track to a deadline. Honestly, do yourself a favor and hire her. She is phenomenal!! read more

Meral helped me prepare for a week long backpacking trip with my son at high altitude. With Meral's guidance and encouragement, my strength and endurance increased significantly. In fact, I was able to hike and enjoy myself the entire week. Meral is more than a trainer, she's a great coach and encourager. I'd recommend Body Lines by Meral without hesitation to anyone who wants to live a stronger healthier life! read more

I started with Meral in October of last year. I have been active with physical fitness and nutrition for many years but had not reached my goals of achieving a lean and healthy physique. I am in my mid 40's and used to be a "gym rat," but recently my metabolism had been slowing down and I found myself slowly creeping towards the dreaded "Dad Bod." I had been eating all the right foods and exercising how I thought was appropriate for my age. I had tried "keto," "Intermittent fasting," all kinds of supplements, etc..., and was losing weight, but was becoming "skinny fat." I realized that I had all the right concepts but was applying them incorrectly. Meral helped clear the fog for me. She put everything into the proper perspective. She developed a nutrition plan for me and adjusted my "macronutrients" and Caloric intake. She provided me with ways to obtain the proper nutrition to meet my goals in a way that was enjoyable and did not feel like work. She empowered me and gave me the information that i needed to make some positive changes. I started off at 20% bodyfat and and am now in the 12% range. My goal is to get below 10% and achieve the lean aesthetic build I have always wanted, complete with 6 pack abs! I can not recommend her enough! We meet about every 2 weeks and do a body composition assessment at her cozy gym in Maitland. We readjust my parameters "as needed" in order to continue my transformation. In short, she has changed my life and has given me so much confidence! You need to put the work in as well, but if you are dedicated to changing your body and becoming healthier and looking amazing, there is nobody better than Meral! read more

Meral starting training me six weeks ago. In that time my strength, agility, energy, and confidence have all increased exponentially. With her guidance I am also losing weight at a steady, healthy and controlled pace. In addition to her knowledge and experience Meral is a gifted trainer. She assessed my abilities quickly and continues to push me hard to increase those abilities. She also knows how to take my weak areas and bring them up to speed. Her workout routines are varied and she always adds something new to increase the progress. Meral is a positive "can do" person whose personality inspires. She takes a personal interest in her clients goals and cares about our progress. I wanted a life change and Meral is making that happen. I cannot speak highly enough about Meral and what she brings to the table with her clients! read more

I started training with Meral about a year ago, and in that time I have seen so much progress in my fitness! Meral is meticulous in preparing a program that takes into account each client's goals and medical history to ensure that progress is steady and safe. I love that workouts are switched up to keep muscles and interest engaged! I never thought that as a 57 year old woman whose fitness was practically nonexistent I would be able to do 16 full pushups (and counting...), walk miles easily and lift the weights I am now. More than that, Meral has pushed me to work on my nutrition and my life balance with lots of resources and tips. My workout days are hard, fun and a highlight of every week! If you are looking to be challenged, lifted up and inspired, then Meral is the trainer for you!! read more

Meral is no joke. I came to her with no workout experience other than the treadmill. Meral has me doing things I never thought I could do after just three months. I am in the best shape of my life. Meral is incredibly personable, understanding, but also fast paced and will push you past your comfort level. Her gym is exquisitely clean and she is consistently adding new equipment to keep it up to date. Her workouts may be painful but they are never boring. If you have the opportunity to work with a trainer, CHOOSE MERAL! read more

If you are looking for a easy trainer or someone to tell you what you want to hear you can stop reading right now. If you truly want someone who will help you transform your body you've found the right trainer in Meral. She's a former competition bodybuilder so she lives what she teaches and it shows. If you train with her consistently you will see amazing results. If you also follow her diet recommendations you'll see even better results. She is honest and up front about diet being a key component to the body everyone wants. She constantly changes the routine so it's never boring and she will adapt as you progress to keep you challenged and keep the results coming. It won't be easy, but if you choose her and do what she tells you you are making a priceless investment in your health and confidence. I would highly recommend Meral to anyone who is serious about making fitness a priority. read more

(32yo male) I was introduced to Meral through a friend and she's one of the best trainers I've ever had. Of course she's highly experienced, knowledgable, and educated since she's been a pro athlete for many years. But also a great listener and knows exactly how to tailor a program to every individual's specific needs and lifestyle. I've struggled with gaining weight/muscle for all my life (which is just as hard as losing weight), tried various trainers/supplements/programs etc. But now I've taken her diet + workout program advice not too long ago and have already gotten great results. Goal is to add 1 pound per week. All done without any fancy gym equipment or complicated meals. If you are not serious about your goals and prefer trainers who sugar-coat things and make you take baby steps, then Meral is not your person. Otherwise I highly recommend her as she's truly encouraging. Just clearly layout your story/goals to her, put in the hard work, take every advice to heart, and you're golden. read more
