Michael Melito was born and raised in Destrehan, La. He was very active in sports growing up and began weight lifting at 15. From an early age he has had an interest in fitness and health. He understood the importance of weight training and healthy lifestyle in order to succeed. He went to LSU where he earned his BA in Agricultural Business and was also an LSU cheerleader for three years. After college he continued to weight train and pursued MMA. Michael found CrossFit in 2012 and saw a bigger change in 3 months than he had ever experienced with traditional weight lifting. He was immediately drawn to the community feel that CrossFit exudes. He also discovered the Paleo lifestyle and has been driven to share this way of life with others. He believes that with a strong body and healthy lifestyle, anyone’s goals can be achieved. He is a proud father of daughter, Gia. He is also a sales rep for Smith and Nephew Orthopedics. Michael has a passion for small business and opening a CrossFit affiliate made perfect sense to combine his two passions. He is thrilled for the opportunity to share his knowledge with his community and intends to offer a family oriented fitness lifestyle experience.
