Lisa Hill, Level 5 MELT Method Instructor

Lisa is a fully qualified MELT Method Instructor based in the UK with over 25 years’ experience in the fitness industry.

She is passionate about helping people feel better in their bodies, move with more ease and stay active for the things they love doing. Her work is centred around helping clients build confidence, reduce pain and create a more balanced approach to fitness and self-care.

Lisa teaches over 15 classes every week, supporting a wide range of clients from beginners to advanced movers. Her classes are welcoming, supportive and suitable for different ages, abilities and stages of life.

As a Level 5 MELT Method Instructor, Lisa supports clients at many different stages, from those wanting to move more freely and stay active, to those who need a little more guidance or are rebuilding confidence in their body. She takes great pleasure in seeing clients make progress, often noticing changes not just in how they move, but in what they feel able to do in everyday life.

One of the things Lisa values most is getting to know her clients as individuals. She takes time to understand what each person needs, whether they are returning to movement, managing pain, building strength or simply wanting to feel more mobile and comfortable day to day. Many of her clients have been with her for as long as she has been teaching, which is something she feels very fortunate and grateful for.

Lisa is also qualified to work with ante and postnatal clients and older adults. She teaches a weekly class specifically for older adults and has developed a strong understanding of menopause, supporting women through this stage with kindness, practical movement and encouragement.

Lisa has been delighted to receive the Prestige Awards in the fitness industry for London and the South-East from 2022 to 2025.

Jo Borgia. Level 2 MELT Method Instructor

Jo is a Level 2 MELT Instructor and has been part of Lisa Hill Balanced Fitness for the past two and a half years.

Before training as an instructor, Jo was a client of Lisa’s for 15 years, so she brings a deep understanding of the method from both sides, as someone who has experienced the benefits of MELT herself and now supports others in their own practice.

Jo teaches the Beginner and Intermediate MELT classes, helping clients build confidence, understand the foundations and progress at a pace that feels right for them.

She brings a wonderful sense of calm to the team and always receives lovely feedback from clients. Her teaching style is supportive, steady and reassuring, which makes her a much-loved part of the Lisa Hill Balanced Fitness community.

Jo also covers Lisa’s classes when she is away, offering clients continuity, care and confidence in safe hands.

Matt Keel, Level 1 MELT Method Instructor

Matt is currently Europe's only male MELT Method Instructor offering sessions and workshops, including the first Men’s Only MELT sessions globally. All his sessions help people move more comfortably, reduce everyday aches and pains and reconnect with their bodies through simple self-care techniques.

Matt first discovered MELT in 2024 while organising the Mindset Unlimited Festival. After just one session with Lisa Hill, he was amazed by how quickly he felt the positive effects. Through the festival Matt had experienced many different wellbeing modalities, but MELT stood out for its powerful yet simple approach that combines gentle self-treatment, breathwork and mindfulness. Matt is qualified in Hand & Foot & Level 1 and specialises in accessible treatments that create noticeable whole-body changes. His sessions focus on helping people release accumulated tension from modern lifestyles, improve mobility and feel more comfortable in their bodies. Matt also covers Lisa’s classes when she is away, offering clients continuity, care and confidence in safe hands.

"Lisa is the most welcoming, professional and knowledgeable MELT instructor I have ever come across. She knows the correct balance between just how much to push you, and ensuring you don't do too much (with pre-existing health conditions). She knows each of her clients well and makes you feel at ease throughout. Not only does she teach the different components of MELT, but she explains the why, so you understand how you can implement the techniques when you practice outside of her classes.

MELT has helped to ease some of my chronic pains and it takes very little time to actually do daily.

She really is so passionate about what she does which is infectious. It's one exercise class that doesn't feel like a chore! Thank you Lisa, you are AMAZING!"

Sasha Starr

"I discovered Lisa and MELT about two and a half years ago at the age of 73. It was one of the best things I have taken up. It has improved a lot of the aches and pains I had, definitely improved mobility and has been a contributing factor in staving off a knee replacement. Now at the age of 75 I have taken up Padel! which I don’t think would have been possibleI without MELT. Apart from the physical benefits of MELT and the fact that Lisa is a great teacher, the classes are fun to go to. So great for mind and body."

Vanessa Clarke

"Lisa is completely professional and compassionate. I Love Lisa’s classes for her enthusiasm, sense of humour and commitment to getting us all sorted, but can’t recommend her more, for her one to one sessions. Thank you!"

Sarah Fuller

"I’ve been Melting with Lisa for several years now. I used to regularly need physio to remove tension and chronic pain and I can firmly say, Melt has replaced this. Lisa is brilliant, she has a natural desire to help everyone and makes you all feel special in her classes. I have completed 3 triathlons since Melting and and I can honestly say it’s made a difference for me."

Claire Jealouse

"I started MELT seven weeks ago. After a partial knee replacement and onset of osteoarthritis, my flexibility was compromised. Lisa's knowledge of the technique and her enthusiasm in teaching it has been transformational. From my very first session I was a convert and cannot underestimate the impact MELT has had on my life. I was a runner before my knee injury and MELT has given me confidence to begin running again last week. Lisa is amazing and for me this method has been far better than the yoga and pilates I have tried previously. It has revolutionised my exercise routine for the better."

Fiona Pearce

"I cannot recommend Lisa enough. Her enthusiasm shines through, and her passion for making sure that each of her clients gets the best out of each and every session is remarkable. I know that a lot of background work goes into the planning of all her classes and this ensures that they run so incredibly smoothly."

Julie Tilbury

"I started with Lisa about 7 years ago in the hope that my posture would improve and my various pains in my body would benefit from the gentle exercise. Little did I know she would change my life! My posture has improved, my rotator cuff issues have all but disappeared, my range of movement is now back to how I was 10 years ago! Thank you Lisa!"
