It was a great first time experience. Although I do work out, I’ve never lifted before. The instructor was clear and kind. I didn’t feel rushed, and there was no “gym bro” attitude. Everyone worked at the level that was comfortable for them.

Do miss this incredible teacher! I am so grateful we have this level of expertise in our community. Mel has a gift of duality; where both the guardian of safety and the leader who pushes you to places you did not consider possible are held. Mel is honest is and authentic. I love these classes and I can’t wait to continue my journey 🎆

Good class with Mel L today. Mel is very encouraging and keeps things lively. I'm new to weight lifting so I appreciate her advice on my technique and help selecting the weights, etc. I feel like she is keeping an eye on me so I don't get into trouble, but not micro-managing, if that makes sense.

What’s not to like about taking a class with Mel Adam’s? She’s a great coach with an attention to detail, noticing all the little things in your form and giving practical tips to help you improve. On top of that, she’s everyone’s biggest cheerleader, always encouraging you to push yourself and supporting you all the way!

Danielle P.

Aug 27, 2025

I am really enjoying both the form and the flow classes because they work on flexibility and core strength. I also like how Meg explains us through each pose and gives visual examples.

Mel L. is a wonderful coach! She’s thoroughly and detailed in how she explains and demonstrates every movement, gives alternatives depending on where you’re at in your journey, reminds you if your form needs a little adjusting, and is generally an absolutely joy to be in class with.

Mel made my first class seem less scary and I immediately felt comfortable with the whole crew.

Steve D.

Aug 7, 2025

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.

Dan H.

Kristin H.

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!

Good workout. There seemed to be a lot of down time between lifts in the middle workout but maybe I just needed to add weight. Then maybe I would have needed more recovery time

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.

Jess M.

Jan 10, 2025

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!

Theda B.

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 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!

Oct 17, 2024

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.
