By the time the pandemic hit in 2020, Mel had run 6 marathons, too many 5Ks and half marathons to mention, regularly indoor climbed, skied/boarded, hiked sixteen 14ers, boogie boarded and tried every single type of indoor workout imaginable: yoga, crossfit, weightlifting, spin and pilates. But it wasn’t until she discovered Lagree in late 2020 (pandemic approved workouts outside) that she finally met the pinnacle of a physical and mental challenge. The passion she felt for Lagree progressed from taking class into a teaching certification and teaching into opening her own studio MEGAROUNDS in 2024. Mel’s contagious enthusiasm for all things Lagree and Climbing are passed to all that walk through MEGAROUNDS’ studio doors. 

Mel is also a closet Disney dork. Yes, she was selected to participate in the Walt Disney World College Program and graduated with a Mousters Degree. If you need any help planning your next Disney trip, Mel will not only give you a precise day by day itinerary but also recommend hotels based on the quality of their fitness studios.
