Listening to Your Body & Soul

Meet Melanie Guadalupe. Mel is originally from the UK and moved to the US in 2002. She holds an MBA but says her passion has always been deep-rooted on the front lines of fitness helping others to reach their goals. She holds several internationally recognized certifications to include National Academy of Sports Medicine certified Personal Trainer, Athletics and Fitness Association of America Group Fitness Instructor (GFI), Training Peaks Power Specialist and is a Spinning® Master Instructor and Power Specialist Master Instructor. Mel’s self-care advise will resonate with so many of us as she stresses the importance of truly listening to what our body and soul are telling us. This is a huge shift in mindset for many of us and learning to respect our bodies is paramount to living a quality life as we age. In her teens, Mel was a competitive athlete holding UK national titles and world rankings in Artistic Roller Figure Skating and trained at the Olympic Center in Colorado Springs during her off season. Melanie has been working and presenting in the Health and Fitness industry for almost two decades and is passionate about people. She is an active mentor for new group fitness instructors at Yates Field House, Georgetown University. Melanie also enjoys co-training the University’s Triathlon team in the Spinning® Studio. Away from fitness Melanie is mum to her two beautiful daughters and loves music, dogs, travelling, discovering wine and dancing.
