Member of the Month: Chris Melonas
This May, we’re excited to spotlight Chris Melonas as Hustle One Fitness’ Member of the Month!
Chris joined us back in November 2024, and in just a few short months, he’s made a strong impression—not just with his consistency and work ethic, but with his energy, positivity, and the way he shows up for every workout.
From Columbia to Hustle One
Originally from Columbia, SC, Chris found his way to Hustle One after trying other gyms and realizing that the group class environment gave him the structure, motivation, and accountability he needed. He came to us highly recommended by another member, and it didn’t take long before he realized Hustle One was the right fit.
“I do much better working out with other people in a class setting. The community here really makes it easy to stay motivated.”
Why Chris Loves Hustle One
Chris’s favorite part about working out? Watching himself get stronger, seeing the results of his effort, and of course—being part of a supportive fitness community.
Outside of the gym, you’ll find Chris spending time with his family outdoors, at sporting events, or enjoying time around the water. And when it comes to good food? Chris knows his way around a plate. With over 30 years in the restaurant and foodservice industry, he has a deep passion for food and food science—something many Hustle One members may not know about him yet!
His favorite cheat meal is a classic: a beef brisket sandwich with all the fixin’s, and when he’s in the gym, you can bet he’s crushing some heavy deadlifts—his favorite movement.
Chris’s Advice to New Members
When asked what advice he’d give to someone just getting started at Hustle One, Chris keeps it simple but powerful:
“Commit, give 100% effort, and give your body time to adjust. Results will come.”
Chris, we’re proud to have you as part of the Hustle One family. Thanks for showing up, lifting strong, and inspiring others around you. Keep up the amazing work!
