Your Next Project is You
For 26 years I’ve helped high performers get strong, take rest, and feel like themselves again. In the gym, on the trail, and everywhere in between.
Melanie’s spirit, capabilities, and professionalism are extraordinary. With her guidance and support, I lost over 50 pounds and completely transformed my understanding and attitude about fitness, nutrition, and well-being. Melanie is a beautiful soul who walks the walk and helps me to do the same.

Hi, I’m Melanie, I’ve Been Where You Are
I’m the founder of WebbWell and creator of the WebbWell Way of Life™.
For 26 years I’ve coached power players and everyday people back to bodies that feel strong and rested. That started with politicos at The Sports Club/LA in Washington, D.C. (now Equinox). Now it includes executives on private retreats in Utah’s canyons and in the training studio in Park City.
I’m also a trained biologist, so I like my “woo” backed by real science.
Most of what I know, I learned the hard way. Failures and successes, injuries and healing, fun trips and misadventures. I’ve been there. And most people I meet simply want to know they can trust me to care enough to guide them through it.

Ways to Work with Me.
Today, everything I do lives under one roof at WebbWell.
Corporate & Private Retreat Design
Resorts, outfitters, and teams bring me in to design and lead outdoor wellness experiences their guests talk about for years.
Thanks for making this trip happen. It has been a delight for so many reasons, not the least of which is your generous spirit and positive approach to everything.
– Jessie Colgate, Washington, D.C.
Destination Wellness Immersions
A fully immersive, one-on-one recovery experience on location: movement, nutrition, flexibility, and mental and spiritual well-being.
When my doctor advised that my hard-living lifestyle was catching up, I looked in the mirror and realized, my next project was me. Melanie held the loving space I needed to change my life.
– P.D., Manhattan, NY
Private Fitness Training
Strength, mobility, and recovery coaching, in person in Park City or virtually anywhere.
I’ve learned and experienced so much from you! I am grateful to get to know you, learn from you, and maybe most of all, discover new ways to care for and listen to myself.

Melanie is adept at creating the vibe we want with our trips. Her wide range of knowledge takes trip facilitation to the next level. She reads the room well and is beloved by guests and guides alike. She’s a leader, a listener, and an active participant, the perfect combination for a successful trip.

I’m Not Your Typical Personal Trainer
Before I was a trainer, I was a wildlife biologist in southern Utah’s canyon country, where I studied endangered fish and completed the first-ever studies of the Kanab ambersnail. Years later, the U.S. BLM made me the first person ever permitted to lead overnight commercial hiking trips into the same canyon, the Parunuweap Wilderness Study Area. I’ve guided 17 of them.
I was also the first person the U.S. National Park Service permitted to lead commercial stand-up paddleboard trips in any National Park, in Glen Canyon, under an agreement with the Navajo Nation.
That red dirt runs through my veins. I once got caught in a slot canyon flash flood. When 100% of the 20% prediction falls in your drainage, you do what you have to do to survive. I came out knowing what it means to live.
Today I also co-chair the Greater Park City Area chapter of Grow the Flow, a Utah nonprofit working to return water to the Great Salt Lake.
