Booty is an award-winning personal training business run by me, Mel Irons. Go get a glass of wine and peruse the website… there’s a fair bit to read because there is a lot going on in the world of Boot-wah! If you are looking for a bad-ass boot camp or an elite band of super athletes, oops! You are in the wrong place! If you are looking to join a group of normal people who exercise hard a few times a week but then get on with the rest of their lives – welcome. Jackpot! Get involved…

Recently…                                   Yeah, I’m stoked. What a day, great fun run and Eurovision final tonight – woo hoo. Thanks for all the effort you put in Mel, wouldn’t have even done a fun run without Booty:) X [sic]   

Recently…                             Thanks mate – couldn’t have done it without those Tuesday mornings!  But man, I am NOT looking forward to the next lot!I know you know I’m a huge fan of Booty, but I gotta tell ya, passing a sh*te-load of people up those hills today had me loving Booty just that much more!  :)  :)  :) I’ll try to remember that Tues morning…. [sic]   

Recently…                                    Hi Mel, Just wanted to send a quick email to say thank you for the last few months – you have really helped me through some tough mental stuff and helped me to get back on track. Sunday’s run in Melbourne was awesome and on reflection I know it was the hard physical training but also the tough mental preparation that got me through. I actually checked my time on the website and it is officially listed as xxxx for the half marathon – I thought I had done a xxxx so I was even more wrapped when I realised it was faster! [sic]   

Recently…                                      Just got your Xmas card. You’re hilarious! Thanks again for booty. it’s one of the best things i have ever done. Can’t wait for next year.  [sic]  

Recently…                                      Thanks, that’s good to know :-) Sometimes I accuse myself of being lazy when I’m training….I guess I need to remember that I’m totally smashing the old me who used to couch potato the whole time. That’s a GREAT feeling :-)   [sic]  

Recently…                                     But yeah anyway I loved it.  I really enjoyed the Saturday induction too.  For years I’ve been doing yoga/pilates but no one has ever taken the time to explain what the core is or where you should be feeling the stretch.  And a lot of the time I’ll be honest I’ve not felt it where I should so I think it’s great that you actually start with that!  [sic]  

Recently…                                       Hey Mel! Tonight’s session was good fun :-) and a great evening for it! Top group of people too :-) [sic] 

Recently…                                       PS Thanks for this morning.  I’m sorry for the bad things I thought about you as I was running through the rain – it turns out it was worth it.  I’ve been on a bit of a high (albeit a sleepy one) all morning.  [sic]

Recently…                                        Hi Mel, Thanks for a great start to the block, I love the way you always make things a bit different to keep them fresh. Good news, no trouble from my calf so far! I think I just need to keep up stretching & strengthening and slow warm ups. Thanks for your support with this :-) See you soon,  [sic]  

Recently…                                       Very interesting the psychology of the type of session we did today – brain definitely needs to learn that body can do more than it thinks, and I felt amazing afterwards and a few others commented the same. Enjoyed the group stretch at the end too. Nice job!!  Xx [sic]  

Recently…                                       Loving Pilates at the moment too by the way, my back seems to have settled down a bit and it’s not worrying me at work anymore which is great :) Thanks for your help! x   [sic]  

Recently…                                       Hi Mel, Thanks for your support and encouragement.  The first week I did circuit my knee had been sore and continued for a few days.  This week it was fine.  I could have turned over and gone back to sleep this morning but felt so much better after I had finished Pilates.  My upper body strength seems much weaker than it used to be. That ball thing you told me to do this morning felt uncomfortable at the time but did again tonight and it does help..thanks x  [sic]  

Recently…                                     It was great Mel, you’ve set a great atmosphere with the group. I thrived on everyone’s energy!! [sic] 

Recently…                                      Boxing is my most favourite thing and the snake liney thing is my v most favourite thing we do at boxing … it was a great/hard/exhausting/fabulous way to start the day … thanks Mel for another awesome session xx [sic]  

Recently…                                     Just so you know (which I’m sure you already do!), you are very motivating Mel!!!! Thank you!!!! I have to go teach art at ********* now, but I feel like going for a run!! For a Monday morning, that is a strange thing for me to say :)  [sic]  

Recently…                                   ALSO- you are amazing…generous and incredibly compassionate…people dont tell you this often enough! thank you thank you thank you thank you…. i really appreciate it… i feel like somethings been lifted off my shoulders already.[sic]   

Recently…                                    Just writing to say thank you for night booty last night. I was feeling a bit apprehensive about it for some reason (even after however many months of booty) but after reading the blog and seeing so many smiling  faces at the beginning and throughout the session made it so much easier. And of course it hurt, but a good hurt, the kind that reminds you why you exercise! [sic]

Recently…                                      I got your message the other night, and I wanted to say thank you. I felt really comfortable with pretty much all of it, and I think it’s something I could really get into. Definitely turned this week around towards more positivity, so thank you. [sic]

Recently…                                   Ah shux Mel. I’m feeling that rewarding soreness today. Tomorrow I will practice my new improved sit-up formula. Thanks heaps for letting me jump in last night! [sic]   

Recently…                                    Also, thought I should let you know I really like morning pilates. Makes me feel so good for the day! [sic]   

Recently…                                  Thanks for another great running block, I’ve really enjoyed these sessions and have actually felt myself improving! [sic]   

Recently…                                                You’re a sick puppy… but you do bring out the best in people when they think there is nothing left. Thank you for letting me tag along! [sic]   

Recently…                                               I wish I could start every day with Pilates! Was a really nice way to start the day :) [sic] 

Recently…                                                I am a total convert to PIlates now I can tell you. I struggled for 2 years with that TFL injury and now there is no problem. Only thing that changed was pilates so I credit you and Pilates for fixing it and my physio for telling me to go!  [sic] 

Recently…                                              Hi Mel, Sooo happy with the morning runs! Really fun! Impressed with your organising! I love how running with all the others kicks my motivation, and I can’t help but smile the rest of the day, because its such a brilliant and fun way to start the day :) [sic]

Recently…                                             Thank you again for being so caring.  ***** sent me a message saying that I was missed on Tuesday. Such lovely people.  [sic]

Recently…                                         Just wanted to say though how much I am liking the booty blog though! Go you!  It must be a lot of work but I thought I would let you know that the time you are putting into it is really appreciated. [sic]   

Recently…                                         Hey Mel! Just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic first week at Booty, it’s been heaps of fun. Everybody is so encouraging and helpful and I’m really looking forward to next week.  Have a lovely weekend :)  [sic]   

Recently…                                      Really enjoyed morning pilates.  Definitely a different feeling first thing in the morning, but left feeling relaxed but also invigorated. Helped clear my head as well. [sic]   

Recently…                                       Hi Mel! Just a quick email to say a couple things, I’m LOVING this block of booty – it’s fantastic and I wish I had come back much much sooner :( [sic]   

Recently…                                     As for Booty blog stuff. ***** really enjoyed reading that to me last night as I made dinner (I liked listening too!). She seems to think you had something on your mind. I assured her you mind was as empty as ever ;-)  Seriously – it was really good and I really hope people read it and can reflect on what you said and act. [sic]   

Recently…                                      Thank you for giving me that push to make this change and helping teeing it up with ……  - I know I’m going to be at least 400% happier now! Yay!! [sic]

Recently…                                     Heya. Re: your blog spot about superheroes…OMGosh you are fabulous. I want to marry you and have your babies! (I didn’t write that on the blog replies on the web page coz I didn’t think you’d want to print it!) Well said! Loved it! [sic]

Recently…                                     Hi Mel. Was going to send you an email to say how much I enjoyed the boxing. Found it a great work out. Everyone is so lovely as well.  Thanks for the email  x x [sic]

Recently…                                   you are amazing. I just saw all the stuff you have organised for the Bootyers while you are away. Most people’s mums don’t put in that much effort when they go away. Enjoy your holiday. You rock!! xxxx [sic]

Recently…                                      Thanks Mel you do a super job. PS Just a little warm and fuzzy…I am really close to my brother and his wedding was one of those small motivators for my fitness leading up to the event as he is super fit . I know I have only been coming for a short while but I felt really good  on the day and had heaps of lovely comments. I just love how being fit makes you feel on the inside and out!  So thanks! sic]

Recently…                                    As an aside, one of my friends, who I hadn’t seen in ages, visited us over the weekend. She told me several times how awesome she thought I looked and how she’d never seen me so confident and comfortable in my own skin.  I told her it was mostly cos of you and Booty.  She also joined me at the Glenorchy fun run on Sunday and was seriously impressed by how lovely all the Booty people were and how encouraging and supportive we all were to each other during the event.  She totally wishes she had a Booty in Melb :)    [sic]

Recently…                                   It’s a sunny day – i’m stuck in an office, and all I can think is “gee I wish I could go for a run, look at that weather!” …. You’ve ruined me, you have. xxxx [sic]

Recently…                                    Just wanted to let you know that I love the format of circuit! I mean with the running in between with a partner. That way I get just the right amount of running (at least for me, since I don’t like running all that much), while still having enough time for all the different stations. I wouldn’t run that hard and often alone! :-)  [sic]

Recently…                                   I really enjoyed Friday and liked the use of humour J I just did what I could but believe me I worked hard!! [sic]

Recently…                                    Wow, I am totally getting into these sessions… what is happening to me!! :D [sic]

Recently…                                     PS: last nite was a blast, I love crocodile runs ( am I on my own here? ) Great way to push to the limit :-)  [sic] 

Recently…                                    I can tell you that Booty has helped me in more ways than just losing a few kgs.  I am happier, less stressed when I get home (I must leave a lot of the work worry in the middle of the Domain) and my relationship with …… is great (it’s always been good but now I think I like myself better- so that makes it easier(?) for me to believe that he thinks I’m awesome). I do look forward to staying part of the Booty “family” for some time to come and getting to know you and the other Booty-ers better.  That’s another thing I’ve loved about joining- it’s not just exercise I’ve actually made new friends! [sic]

Recently…                                      Hey Mel! Thank you for my Christmas postcard, it made my day as normally only get bills in the mail… I just wanted to say thank you also for all of your help and support this year, i would never have made it through! I’m really excited for next year and getting stuck into booty again and becoming more stronger and fitter both physically and mentally. I’m pumped!!! Thanks again and see you next year! xx [sic]

Recently…                                       Thank you for the lovely card and your very kind comments! I really appreciate being part of your group and are very grateful for all your support  :-) [sic]

Recently…                                      I did want to say a huge thanks though, as embarrassing as it is to admit july 2011score was 5/2… July 2012 10/3 so fair to say you’re pretty ok at what you do!!! You’re actually amazing, I feel like I’ve totally changed my life in the past 12 months and I couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks Mel xx  [sic]

Recently…                                    As for the running I felt good all day. The next day I had sore abs and chest. ( never my legs???) I really am very very surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I will try to organize my roster to continue with it. [sic] 

Recently…                             Thanks for all your support, I was thinking on the way to work this morning how much booty rocks! Nice work. [sic]

Recently…                                     And thanks for asking.  Cathartic really having a whinge, getting it out of the system and then building a bridge! [sic]

Recently…                                    Well I’ve learned something today….”mastery experience”.  Whoever knew there was a fancy schmancy name for making us do just one more… :-)   Keep those sorts of posts coming; it’s that kind of thing that makes Booty stand head & shoulders & biceps above the rest.  Love it! [sic]

Recently…                               The band was brilliant. Thanks for a great night too, I had so much FUN, looking forward to the next one already :0)  So many lovely people do booty! See you on Tuesday, I have missed no booty this week xoxo [sic]

Recently…                                    Doing booty has not only improved my fitness levels and physical health, it has also improved my mental health and outlook on life. With Mel there is no b-s and she genuinely cares about your physical and mental health. She is there with you every step of the way. I can guarantee you that doing booty will be the best decision you’ve ever made, it was defiantly mine! [sic]

Recently…                                    ooh thanks Mel, that is very kind.  I love the atmoshphere that you have created – I have met so many wonderful people in such a short time and the party made me realise how many i still need to meet :).  You have such a great group and have cleary and genuinely impacted a large number of people.  Must be so rewarding knowing the postive impact you have had on people’s life, literally life changing – fantastic work. talk soon [sic] 

Recently…                                      I can’t even describe how awesome the cocktail party was!!!! The highlight of my year. I have made so many wonderful friends. You truly are amazing mel, and should be extremely proud of the business you’ve made. Couldn’t ask for a better bunch of people. Booty has changed my life. Thankyou :-) [sic]

Recently…                                 Thanks for getting me out for an icy run this morning – it was a great way to start the day :) Thanks for your encouragement and hard work- especially on cold mornings, I’m really enjoying Booty. [sic]

Recently…                                     I have just got home and really wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed my induction today.  It was truly GREAT!  I really had not expected it to be that much fun! I had also never considered boxing before and was both surprised to get to try it and to discover how hard and rewarding I found the expereince.  In a few moments I’ll look up your boxing classes!  It was also really nice to be corrected, when not getting the activity right. (I usually only get the useful corrections at yoga and pilates yet despite going to the gym a fair bit, I realised I’ve never been corrected there – so I just hope I’m getting it right!) [sic]

Recently…                              yay!!! yeah i already feel so much stronger doing one class of pilates a week! i come out feeling so much more relaxed at it’s great that you just take some time to chill out and breathe!! I am feeling so much better, I still have a way to go, but i can actually feel myself getting better now, and i think the pilates has a lot to do with it!! I look forward to reading the blog =)  [sic]

Recently…                                For spin today………………it’sa fantastic class!  I love it…..!  You don’t miss a thing………… noteven a very sneaky little extra drink break – thank for keeping me on my toes and honest!! [sic]

Recently…                                 Just a quick note to tell you I loved circuit, have never done anything like that before, so thank you!  [sic]

Recently…                               Pump last night was brilliant, I felt amazing afterwards, and today too. I even used weights on the shoulder track for the first time, and my bad shoulder survived. It’s so good when you see results like that :)   [sic]

Recently…                                Thanks Mel. You are so amazing at what you do!  It was a fun class and I LOVED the music [sic]

Recently…                                 In keeping with the idea of expressing daily gratitude could I say a big “thank you” to you for being an inspirational influence to me and so many others. You have boundless positive energy, which makes a few of us very envious, but quite happy to have a bit of it rub off on us for a little while each week! Thanks Mel!  [sic]

Recently…                                Since I have started pilates I don’t have nearly as much lower back & shoulder pain as before, so something must be working! [sic]

Recently…                                 And its amazing how much better I’ve gotten at spin since the start of this block! It’s nice to be back :-) [sic]

Recently…                                 p.s. You are the best without a doubt pilates instructor I have come across. I stretched more than I thought possible on Monday like 10 out of 10 considering I’m a senior and I felt so good yesterday, didn’t even need to take any antiinflammitaries to get going! [sic]

Recently…                                 Pilates has been great for me as a recovery from booty. It is challenging but I feel fantastic after having done a session. The time flies as well!! I also believe my flexibility has improved greatly! [sic]

Recently…                                 Thanks Mel. I have, very much, enjoyed the sessions. I particularly find the Wednesday night ones so nice after a long day at work. I find I’m getting more and more flexible in my legs and hips, and I’m seeing the benefits whilst playing netball. I think it’s going to help with injury prevention, particularly with my ankles and hamstrings. I also appear to be more nimble – which is not like me at all! Will be there for the next lot of sessions! [sic]

Recently…                                  Yeah it’s great, a lot harder than I had thought! I can definitely feel that my muscles have been stretched after the session but it’s a good feeling! I think you’re a fantastic instructor which really helps for someone like me who is new to pilates :-)  [sic]

Recently…                                  Hey Mel, How are you? Thank you for letting me join up to Booty…. can I say it is great :) It is hard work but it is good to be motivated as I know I would just “give up” if I was doing it alone. The thing I was most worried about was that I know I am not a good or fast runner and that I would feel out of place around all super fit people but it was not the case. I did not feel out of place or judged by anyone, and everyone is so friendly. I was sore this morning but not as bad as I thought I would be… [sic]

Recently…                                     Hi Mel, Thanks. Hard but good. That sort of fitness work suits me rather doing 3km road runs!!! Seems a very social and friendly environment, which makes it so much easier! [sic]

Recently…                                    I have been meaning to send this email for a little while but keep forgetting, after getting a chance to watch another group for a little bit this morning reminded me. Thankyou for running the sessions, I have really enjoyed my time in booty and look forward to each session. You encouragement is fantastic and you create an environment where the whole group is very supportive of each other to the extent of having pride in each others achievements and this for me is a large part of what helps to make the sessions enjoyable and push that bit harder. [sic]

Recently…                                 Today was one of the best boxing sessions I have attended, hard but great, I’ve never sweated so much at boxing. I enjoy all your sessions but I think the intense long rounds really lifted the cardio side also. New exercise was hard but good!  [sic]

Recently…                                  Thanks Mel!! I’m really enjoying it… I thought I would find it hard to get motivated after being unfit for so long, but not with your sessions, so thanks! x  [sic]

Recently…                                 This is the fourth boot camp style class I have done in four years, I guess you could call me a ‘boot camp tramp’ but it is by far the best in terms of numbers, relevance (matching similar abilities), professionalism, teaching, fun and of course people. My first boot camp I did for 3 months and not once did they introduce anyone, your first session swapping partners and remembering names was a fantastic icebreaker, and makes it much easier to turn up by yourself. Thanks Heaps [sic]

Recently…                                    I ‘m sure I don’t need to tell you how awesome you are, but it’s always nice to get good feedback :-)I’ve always hated running, so I was surprised to find it bearable once done in the right, supportive environment. Still don’t know if I’d be able to go and do a marathon on my own, ever, but at least I’m moving! :-) I’ve been telling everyone at work that they should come too. Thank you for your awesomeness. See you tomorrow morning! [sic]

Recently…                                     I just wanted to say thanks for the last 3 months – Booty has been awesome and I am so glad I got talked into doing it! I couldn’t imagine NOT doing it now [sic]

Recently…                                    Nice Work Mel!!! This mornings session was awesome! When you said, alright 4 more sets of sprinting to go, I thought “oh my golly, I can’t do it” but then cognitive restructuring girl jumped into play and yelled “you CAN do it, one sprint at a time” and then I did and I was SO proud. And then the session just kept going, and I kept going and I thought it was awesome. THAT is what booty is all about! Going further than you think possible! [sic]

Recently…                                 Hey mel! Loving booty, I finally feel like i can actually get healthy and fit, and everyone is so nice! [sic]

Recently…                                 Hey Mel, Just wanted to say thanks for the session on Tuesday. Was good fun and the people were great as promised by yourself and others. [sic]

Recently…                                  Hi Mel, that was fantastic, bloody hard and my legs really are feeling it. You are amzing and to have to do it twice… that is just ridiculous!!!!!!!! xx PS: ridiculous and inspiring! [sic]

Recently…                                     I had the best time, and i felt FANTASTIC!!!!!! It made my day so much better and even though i know my strength is not good, it is going to get stronger every time i do that booty. I feel that it is a very encouraging group to be with, and all credit to you Mel, you are inspiring many to believe in themselves, least of all me. CANNOT WAIT UNTIL NEXT MONDAY BOOTY [sic]

Recently…                                     I just wanted to say im so glad ***** and I are doing booty – it is such a positive environment. I have a friend doing a different group training thing and I have never seen her so miserable and obsessive. I’m so glad booty is about small, long term lifestyle changes and bettering yourself, not about putting disgusting before and after photos in bathers on the net for everyone to see, who has the coolest gym gear or who can do the biggest dead lifts [sic]

Recently…                                  Also wanted to thank you and all other support crew for the encouragement last Sunday. There were moments when it truly made a difference having someone (often not known to me personally) from booty, giving a shout out along the way. Who said marathon running was a solitary endeavour. Anyway I had a great day – made even more special watching **** run the 5k on his own and **** taking on the 1k fun run. – Very proud mum! [sic]

Recently…                               Thanks for ‘forcing’ ( encouraging ) me into this. Actually looking forward to another one and I never thought I’d say that [sic]

Recently…                               Hi Mel, Loving pilates so of course I have reregistered! Thanks =) Tis so great to be back into pilates again!! Xoxo

Recently…                               Hi Mel, So usually at this point the day after running I am crippled by tight calves. Can’t walk up and down corridors, let alone stairs. I’ve been stretching and massaging lots but it doesn’t seem to do anything. Monday night we did downward facing dog. Yesterday during running I was pleasantly surprised that my calves weren’t tight. By last night they weren’t sore. And today, for the first time, I have sore glutes and hamstrings but no sore calves. You can not imagine how happy this makes me!!!!!! Also for the first time, after doing those PAC things, I didn’t wake up with a sore neck! Thanks Mel [sic]

Recently…                               Thanks for letting me join in. I really enjoyed it. I was quite intimidated joining such a large group but they way you run Booty makes newcomers feel very welcome. I really enjoyed the exercises and felt fine today. Looking forward to tomorrow [sic]

Recently…                              Dear Mel, Thanks for the little goodie bag (well envelope) this morning, so many little treats inside! And, thanks for an amazing first week! Completely different from my initial (and somewhat scary) view of all this! Never knew feeling sore could feel so good. See you soon! [sic]

Recently…                               Hi mel! It was great, heaps of fun! Awesome group of people, everyone is very friendly! I think I did alright, but the planks were tough! See you wednesday :) x [sic]

Recently…                                  I freaking love drink bottle sprints but all I can say is thank god I have a lot of desk work to do today! :) xxx  [sic]

Recently…                                 Loved Spin!! ! was going to email today – really really enjoyed it! Was a sweaty mess! Thank youuuuuu [sic]

Recently…                                  Hey Mel,
Thanks for your message. It is nice to know that you care so much. I love you! Spin was good, it is always a struggle on the butt and special girl bits (I’m sure for boys as well) if you haven’t been for a while, but I coped!! [sic]

Recently…                                  Hey Mel, I just absolutely fell in love with spin!! Do you take a spin class any other time during the week? I actually can’t wait for next week!! Spin is going to be amazing, I can tell!! My back and bum will love me for it!! I think I’m already becoming an addict, watch out next week, ill hit it hard!! Thanks and cheers [sic]

Recently…                                  Hey Mel, just thought I would pass on a little bit of more detailed feedback on the spin this morning. I thought it was a fantastic class, much better than any of the other spin classes I have done previously. I loved your choice of music, very appropriate to push people along that little bit. I also like the idea of having the person next to you to encourage you along as well. I found that I was often getting into a “comfortable” rhythm and having someone to push me out of it and make me work harder was great. The few people I talked to really seemed to enjoy it. I think some people may be a little tentative at first but hopefully everyone gives it a good shot and learns to love it. [sic]

Recently…                                Thanks!  I meant to email you to say today was super fun.  I love the worm of doom or whatever it is called!  I didn’t even mind going around again and again, but it is fun just to have a bit of a whinge anyway :)  [sic]

Recently…                                  Thanks for a fantastic first ever Booty block, I loved it! Can’t wait until the next one starts. Have a lovely break, you definitely deserve it! [sic]

Recently…                                    Thanks for another epic cocktail party. Great times and props were awesome!!  Also I have meant to say this for awhile and always found an excuse not to cause i feel slightly awkward but i sincerly thankyou for the whole business you have going on. Being away i was speaking to people about what i do as far as fitness and describing to them what you do and the amazing atmosphere of hard work and support that occurs between all bootiers made me realise how lucky i am to be part of such a wonderful group.  [sic]

Recently…                                 Hey Mel! I actually really liked outdoor pilates this morning! Was a great way to welcome the day. Just wanted to say that I’m starting to get some of the basics down, and I can tell when i’m doing something right cos it feels ouchy in the good ways! Ha not in the “i’m so lost and not sure when i should be breathing” ouchy ways!  Anyways, thanks for drawing me back into the Booty phenomenon.  You’re amazing! Love! [sic]

Recently…                                    Hi Mel, Thank you so much for the lovely card. You never fail to amaze and impress me with your thoughtfulness and the dedication you put into your work. I’m so glad I joined Booty!! See you in the new year!! [sic]

Recently…                                  Hi Mel. Just wanted to say thanks for his morning – although ever so slightly sunburnt (!) I really enjoyed it! I can barely lift my arms over my head and my legs feel as though they weigh a ton! I’m definitely feeling it – and it feels good! [sic]

Recently…                                    Hi Mel, I just wanted to say a BIG thank you! I have now completed my first two blocks of booty and definitely feel heaps fitter and stronger (although it doesn’t look like it mid session LOL).It is a great feeling rolling into the new year having made the time for exercise in the lead up to Christmas. Thanks so much for your motivation and encouragement.
Have a really lovely Christmas and well deserved break. See you next year.  [sic]
