Melissa was awesome! This was first time taking class in a couple of years and I was a little nervous at first. Melissa made me feel right at home, cheering me on, and offering corrections as needed. So excited to be apart of this community!

This was my first session with Mel. Butts and Guts kicked my butt! But it was a great introduction: she encouraged us to go at our own pace, take breaks as needed, answered any questions I had and repeated demos. Very supportive environment and while it was challenging, I felt I would be able to complete the session and was very stoked when I got it done.

Mel assists us at every level no matter if we’re beginning or an avid athlete. Willing to modify exercises but also motivates us to push a little harder because she has a good sense of what we’re capable of. She believes in us more than we do! Great coach!

Mel is such an Amazing coach. Always positive, encouraging, pushing you when she sees that she should and meeting you where you're at on those B or C days. Her class starts my day with a smile and the hardwork pays off every day in these old bones. So thankful for her and the energy she brings to the 5:30am class!!!

Mel pushes me to the limit, encourages me, but also provides scaling options to make me feel good about what I’m doing. I cannot believe where I am physically compared to a couple years ago- and as a parent of two small kids I was coming from a place of not having worked out for many years in any significant way! I had to increase my membership so I could come more often!

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!

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.

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.
