Mel L is so welcoming and a joy to be around. Her rapport with members is personal, anutgentic, and light-hearted. She doesn’t it too seriously which makes her classes fun, not intimidating, and really motivates me. I’m clearly not alone in this experience because her class was packed today and she welcomes everyone. Thanks Mel!

Erik does an excellent job at providing technical feedback to experienced lifters but what is really great is the balance he strikes at managing classes with a variance of skill set across its roster. No matter your level of skill Erik will take an appropriate of time with you in a welcoming style. Highly recommend his Friday time slot for all athletes.

Huge fan of the hug. Gym dog is not too bad either. As per usual, Mel did great with my haphazard approach to the class’s scheduled events and checked in to make sure I had what I needed. I’m sorry though- I forgot to wipe down the bike-it’s been a minute and I was distracted by Goose. I will remember next time!

Meg offered just the right amount of philosophical discourse and storytelling while explaining in simple terms what students should be doing with each body part. She demonstrated every movement, which I found helpful. And I liked that she’s offering a very timely heart-opening series as we all face a long winter ahead.

Mel Adams was my first coach when I walked into a 5:30 a.m. class at Deep Roots Fitness 18 months ago. Right away, she made me feel welcome, calming my newbie nerves! Her expertise, motivation, and attention to each member’s progress make every class both challenging and rewarding. Mel consistently brings energy and encouragement, pushing us to go beyond our limits while prioritizing safe and effective techniques. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve seen significant improvements in my strength, endurance, and confidence.

Today was a truly remarkable day with Coach Mel! I've had some major struggles with back squats and pistols throughout my journey with CrossFit. Mostly due to mobility with my shoulders, ankles, and hips. I usually see these movements in a workout and just reside to doing something else that day. Today was different. Mel gave me 2 huge directional pointers that helped my squat depth and kept me upright in the correct form for the squat. It hurt so much, but I actually felt like I was performing the movement to the best of my ability and succeeding in doing it correctly. I actually felt like I might be able to a real back squat one day plus, I was almost at full depth. It was a game changer. Pistols, pistols, pistols... My nemesis since days of shoot the duck roller skating. Late in life pistols have made me nervous because of the strength needed and pressure added to one leg. In fact, as Mel put the thick black band around the rig, I felt nervous that it wouldn't hold me and could see myself falling backwards. What actually happened was that I did the best pistol form of my life. Not full depth, but full strengths & confidence. I Actually kept doing them to finished my set on the other leg even after the timer was up. As I age and try to keep up at the gym, today reminded me that it's not only good to keep striving and go out of my box, but it's so much easier when you have the valued support of your coach that keeps meeting you where you are at for the. By providing the right techniques and encouragement, Mel really made my day and week. Keep moving, keep going!! Fri- Yay!!!!

I was the only athlete in class today, so Melissa gave me my own personal session. It was a great experience. She helped me have fun working on my weak points, and got me through what was a very challenging WOD feeling like I crushed it. This experience is why I love CrossFit!

I love the precision with which Melissa chooses exercises to work specific muscles. It’s an art. In the start I don’t feel overwhelmed by the movements, which gives me some pep, but by the last reps I feel it exactly where I’m supposed to. I feel confident in her selection of exercises to target less obvious muscles in thoughtful configurations.
