How Melissa Got Stronger, Healthier, and Found Her Confidence Again
“Today I’m stronger than I was yesterday.”
That’s how Melissa Mabry describes her journey since joining Hustle One Fitness—and it’s a transformation worth celebrating.
Before Melissa joined Hustle One, life felt stuck on repeat.
Her gym had shut down during Covid. She spent more than a year searching for a new place to work out—trying gym after gym, hoping to find something that felt right. But every time, it fell flat. The workouts didn’t feel personalized. She wasn’t seeing progress. She was stuck in a routine of random classes that didn’t challenge her in the way she needed.
“I tried different gyms with station workouts, but I never felt like I was making any progress. I’d end up stuck with lighter weights because the heavier ones were already taken.”
Melissa knew she needed more. As an archivist, she spends most of her days sitting at a desk, but she also needs to lift 50-pound boxes and climb ladders regularly. Add in being a mom to two young kids (ages 7 and 4), and she wanted to feel strong, capable, and energized—not worn down and frustrated.
That’s when she found Hustle One in February 2023—and everything changed.
Building Strength She Never Knew She Had
From the very first workout, Melissa noticed a huge difference.
“Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. And Hustle One was the first time I ever worked out with barbells. What a difference!”
For the first time in years, workouts weren’t about just getting through the hour—they were about getting stronger, gaining confidence, and pushing herself to do things she never thought possible.
“My strength gains are what I’m most proud of. I love hitting PRs and knowing I’m stronger than I was yesterday.”
Small Shifts That Made a Big Impact
Along the way, Melissa also started working with Coach Rebecca on her nutrition. That piece of the puzzle helped everything click.
“After taking Rebecca’s nutrition coaching, I think about food differently. I try to incorporate her tips into my meal planning, and it’s helped so much.” (Learn more here!)
Her energy went up. Her strength skyrocketed. Her mindset shifted. And life outside the gym felt easier—lifting boxes, climbing ladders, and keeping up with two young kids wasn’t nearly as exhausting anymore.
Advice for Anyone Feeling Stuck
Melissa’s biggest takeaway?
