Personal training

Train Smarter. Move Better. Stay Strong.

At Hurt & Co, in Scarborough, Maine, our personal training programs are designed to meet you exactly where you are—whether you're new to strength training, rebuilding after injury, or looking to reach your next athletic goal. We combine expert coaching with an individualized approach, so every session is built around your body, your goals, and your pace. Our certified personal trainers are here to guide you every step of the way.

What makes our Personal Training different?

We’re not a big-box gym. Our strength coaches work one-on-one with you in a private, supportive environment. With deep knowledge of functional movement, injury prevention, and performance training, we help you build strength that carries over to everyday life. We create tailored workout plans designed specifically for you, ensuring that you achieve your fitness goals safely and effectively.

Our Focus Areas Include:

  • Safe lifting technique and functional movement patterns
  • Strength, muscle growth, and targeted training
  • Introduction to powerlifting and customize powerlifting programs for all levels of experience
  • Post-rehab strength integration
  • Core strength, mobility, and injury prevention

A Holistic Approach

We regularly collaborate with our in-house physical therapists to create smooth transitions from recovery to performance, making Hurt & Co. an ideal setting for anyone managing past injuries or chronic pain. As part of our integrated wellness center, you may complement your training with on-site services like physical therapy, massage, and our infrared sauna, or small group classes.‍

Who It's For:

  • Beginners who want guidance and structure
  • Lifters seeking better form and results
  • Clients returning to fitness after PT
  • Older adults maintaining strength, mobility, and balance
  • Anyone tired of cookie-cutter fitness programs

What To Expect:

  • One-on-one sessions with a certified trainer
  • Custom training plans tailored to your goals and movement needs
  • Access to our private Barbell Club with pro-grade equipment
  • A clean, welcoming space with no distractions or crowds

Strength is for Everyone. Let's Build Yours.

We believe training should feel empowering, not intimidating. When you work with our coaches, you’ll get a program that makes sense for your life, schedule, and body. You’ll build confidence, not just muscle.

Hurt & Co is the best! It's an inviting space and the owner Melinda is not only extremely knowledgable and strong, she will make you feel welcome right away in the community she has built. I had several physical therapy sessions there which helped me recover from straining myself at work. Everyone was so nice including the people who were working out there.

I came to Hurt & Co with chronic pain in my shoulders and back, that were impacting my daily life. Melinda took the time to discuss my concerns and symptoms. She helped relieve my pain using dry needling with stim, manual therapy and stretching. She did an excellent job of explaining the underlying issues and teaching me specific exercises to strengthen my core and improve my posture. She continues to evaluate my symptoms, identify the issues and provides me with a plan of action to become a pain-free, stronger person. At Hurt & Co you are not just another patient, you get the one-on-one attention that you deserve, from a provider that truly cares.

I've been working with Jess for personal training at Hurt & Co for the past year, and I can honestly say I've never felt better. I'm stronger, move more easily, and recently realized just how far I've come when I completed a long hike. A year ago it would have been exhausting; this time, I had fun. Jess is knowledgeable, encouraging, and makes working out enjoyable. The gym has an open, welcoming atmosphere and I felt comfortable from day one. For the past several months, I've also been using Hurt & Co's app to follow workouts Jess designs for me at home. It gives me the flexibility to work out on my own schedule while still benefiting from Jess's guidance, support, and encouragement. Working with Jess has made a real difference in how I feel, and I can't recommend Jess and Hurt & Co highly enough.

I’ve seen many PTs over the years but never one as effective as Melinda. I was immediately impressed by the thorough initial consult and remain impressed by her ongoing evaluations and treatments. Plus Melinda immediately put me at ease! I look forward to our appointments and the work we’re doing together. In addition to receiving excellent care from Melinda, I just started working out with the personal trainer at Hurt & Co, Morgan. I usually dread going to the gym, but Morgan made me feel comfortable right from the start. And after my workouts, I recover in the amazing infrared sauna! If I could give Hurt & Co 10 stars I would!
