Mel M.
Hey yall! I'm Mel, and I moved from Atlanta to Orlando last month to join Disney as a Manager in Corporate Alliance Strategy. My Pure Barre journey began in late 2020 when my travel-four-days-every-week job became a work-from-the-dining-room-table job. I quickly fell in love with Pure Barre's fun, musically-driven method and found an amazing, supportive community and a home at @purebarrewoodstock. Before I knew it, I was on the mic teaching Classic and Empower! I'm so thrilled to be home here at @purebarrewintergarden, and I can't wait to LTB through some throwback jams with yall!

Fav part of class: Back Dancing - That final, final 10 never fails to get me to lift a little higher or tuck a little more!
Favorite music to LTB to: Throwbacks - Give me a playlist with a song from the 90s or 00s (especially Britney, NSYNC, or the Spice Girls), and I'll give you the best class of your life!
Fav class format: Empower, hands down
Hashtag to describe your class: #PracticeMakesProgress - It's all about doing one more pushup, holding your plank one second longer, lifting your heels one inch higher than you did last class!
