Marissa Melchor

Marissa discovered CrossFit in 2016 while looking for a training style that combined athleticism, community, and real-world strength. What began as uncertainty walking into her first class turned into one of the most rewarding parts of her life.

Over the years, she’s hit milestones she once thought were impossible like her first handstand walk, ring muscle-up, and continuous progress in Olympic Weightlifting. She credits much of her growth to the incredible coaches who supported her and fueled her passion for the sport.

CrossFit has also given Marissa a second family. The friendships, support, and camaraderie inside the gym are what keep her showing up. She believes CrossFit is truly for all ages and all shapes, and loves watching people discover what they’re capable of.
