Meet the Bay Area creator turning exercise into an adventure!

Did you know PCT has a brand-new series designed to get kids off the couch and moving! All while having fun?

Meet Melanie Joy, or as she likes to be called, Pal Mel, the heart and energy behind Palersize, an inspiring new show premiering soon on Pacific Coast Television! Rooted in creativity, movement, and childhood joy, Palersize is more than just a show. It’s a mission to help children believe in themselves, find their passion, and move their bodies in fun, meaningful ways.

This fresh series keeps the spirit of Palersize alive by highlighting its core elements: three pals, holiday-themed adventures, and short-but-powerful fitness segments. While the show doesn’t include full workout routines, it does feature two-minute inspirational tips from Mr. Bones, along with movement breaks to get kids up and active. Melanie’s goal is to encourage healthy habits and make screen time more engaging and interactive! A bonus for parents concerned about too much sitting!

So, what exactly is Palersize?

Melanie describes Palersize as a movement-based motivational adventure for children. One that began over 30 years ago on pure faith. After starting her career as a receptionist by day and exercise instructor by night, Melanie realized her true passion was working with kids. She combined her love for fitness and imagination through weekend parties and creative programs she built from scratch for her niece and nephew.

From teaching body sculpting and aerobics to building themed routines around holidays and seasons, Melanie's journey evolved into what she calls the "Pal Empire": a growing collection of tools, characters, and philosophies like Palmanners, Palimagination, and Pal Language, all designed to promote wellness and confidence in children. "Pal," of course, comes from the word friend, and friendship, positivity, and movement are at the core of everything she does.

Through the years, Melanie has brought Palersize into preschools, parks, and recreation centers, creating a program that blends imagination, music, fitness, and fun. With her new series on PCT, she’s bringing that same magic to the screen! Giving children the opportunity to learn, move, and dream big from the comfort of their living rooms (with a little jumping around in between!).
