NATURE GUARDIANS

STRENGTH TRAINING
Ocean State Kids
I’m Melanie Ferreira, owner and head coach of MF Training — a boutique strength studio in Tiverton built on the belief that strength creates happiness. After more than eight years of coaching, I founded MF Training because I was tired of watching people cycle through programs that never stuck. Too many gyms treat members like numbers, chasing quick fixes instead of real growth. I wanted to build something different — a space where people could learn, lift, and discover what their bodies are capable of. Through science-based, functional training, I help individuals build lasting strength that supports them for life.
WHAT IS A NATURE GUARDIAN?

Nature Guardians are a select group of parents whose passion, dedication, and active involvement has significantly shaped Ocean State Kids. They are families that have demonstrated commitment to our mission and whose insight, voice, and leadership are highly valued and essential.
