About Coach

‍

Hey, y’all! I’m Mel. I am new to the Philadelphia area and I am originally from Florida. I went to FSU (Go Noles!) where I obtained my MPH and decided that I   wanted to promote health, fitness, and the importance of taking care of yourself in order to have a better quality of life.

‍

I started CrossFit in 2019 in order to help cope with depression and BPD. I quickly fell in love with the sport and the mental clarity it gave me post workout. CrossFit challenges me in the gym while simultaneously allows me to have a physical outlet to improve my wellbeing.

‍

When I coach you, your partner, your friends, your neighbors, I want you all to feel like this is the best hour of your day no matter your fitness level or the type of day you’ve had. You can walk out of OBA feeling better both mentally and physically.

‍

The friendships made within the CrossFit community can change your life; I know because they have changed mine. We all start somewhere and we are all works in progress. My goal as your coach is to help you where you are at, in order to get you where you want to be. Collectively, we can work towards a goal of being fitter, stronger, and happier.
