Meet The Team
Fabian
Owner, Melendez Boxing
Personal Trainer & Boxing Instructor
Tipping the scale at 300 pounds, Fabian delved into the world of boxing to lose weight. What began as an effort to lose weight, evolved into intense sparring, what then led to amateur fights and finally the arena of his pro debut. Fabian brings over 25 years of experience in boxing and weight training. Beyond his athletic prowess, he is recognized for his exceptional taste in music, adding a unique flair to our classes! He plays a pivotal role in fostering a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, making each member feel like part of a close-knit community.
Miguel
Boxing Instructor
Miguel's love for boxing started in 2014 and he's been hooked ever since. His deep passion and love for boxing brings out the best in his students and helps them achieve their goals. His dedicated and inspiring coaching is what keeps our members coming back for more, and the kids love him!
Lupita
HIIT Instructor
In 2023, Lupita faced the heartbreaking loss of her significant other, a time that left her overwhelmed with grief. At 212 pounds, she made the powerful decision to transform her life. This grief became the catalyst for positive change, motivating her to embrace healthier habits. Through a mix of HIIT, strength training, and a balanced diet, she lost 62 pounds in just 15 months.
Her journey has fueled a passion to help others achieve both physical and mental strength, just as she did. Lupita is dedicated to supporting you on your own transformation, empowering you to become the best version of yourself. Let’s get strong together!
