River City Health & Performance brings personalized coaching, strength training and performance-focused support together under one name. Rooted in Jacksonville. Built around your goals.

What we train

Strength

Barbell, kettlebell and bodyweight work built around the big lifts. Weights go up a little each week, and you can see it.

Movement

Hips, shoulders and back that work the way they should. Fewer tweaks, better posture, lifting that feels good instead of risky.

Performance for life

Training for the long haul: carrying groceries, chasing kids, playing your sport at 50. Progress you keep, not a six-week crash.

How it works

  1. Talk

    A free 20-minute conversation about where you are and what you want. No sales pitch.

  2. Assess

    A first session to see how you move and lift, so the program starts where you actually are.

  3. Program

    A written plan, usually four weeks at a time, with sets, reps and target weights for every day.

  4. Train and track

    Your program lives on your phone. Log what you lifted, and every week builds on the last.

Your coach

Mike Melesky is a Jacksonville native and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist who has coached people in this city since 2013.

Before coaching, Mike spent four years as a Marine Corps officer. Leading Marines through training is where he learned what he still believes: almost anyone can get strong when the plan is clear, the standard is fair and someone is paying attention. He came home, earned his certifications and trained clients in corporate gyms and in their living rooms before opening River City Personal Fitness in 2013.

Most of his clients are adults with jobs, families and a few old injuries. Many have trained with him for years. Every one of them gets a written program, a coach who tracks their numbers, and a session that leaves them better than it found them.

River City Personal Fitness is now River City Health & Performance. Same coach, same city, same badge on the wall, with a name that fits what clients actually come for: to get strong, move well and keep doing both for decades.
