MEET MELISSA STOCKDALE

In what year did you start CrossFit?
In 2017, I was off and on. But officially at Straight Flush January of this year.

Why did you start CrossFit?
I used to just go to boring old LVAC, but MGM started offering CrossFit classes to employees and I grew to love it WAY more.

How many days per week do you CrossFit and what is your normal class time?
I go 3 times per week at 6:00 am class.

What is your favorite movement?
My favorite are deadlifts!

What movement do you want to conquer?
Pull-ups and TTB have always been a goal of mine.

What kind of music do you like to listen to when you work out?
I like to listen to anything Rock.

What kind of changes have you noticed since joining Straight Flush?
I have officially become a morning person. I feel more confident and I'm noticeably more strong and able to lift every day things that I would normally need help with.

What do you do for a living?
Anti-Money Laundering for MGM Resorts - or as Coach Chris likes to say, I kick down doors to catch bad guys lol

What do you like to do when you’re not working out at Straight Flush?
I love going to Raiders and Knights games, hiking, or just sitting at home with my 2 hairless sphynx cats.

What do you love most about the Straight Flush community?
I love how Straight Flush welcomed my old gym that closed, Icebox Strength, in this year with open arms. Chris at the 6 am class makes waking up feel easy and even fun. I have never felt more supported in my fitness journey.
