Hi! My name is Melody Bateman! I am a Physical Therapist Assistant, a Licensed Massage Therapist, a 1st degree black belt in American Kenpo Karate, and a Certified Running Coach.
I have been running for 13 years. I started as a hurdler in high school and started distance running in college. During that time, I ran my first marathon. After college, I began ultra running, completing multiple races, long-runs and projects over 26miles on the trails, including a self-supported 100mile race.
I have been teaching fitness since I was 12, starting as a karate instructor. I’ve been coaching runners specifically and “officially” for 3 years (I “unofficially” have coached friends and family since I was a teenager!) I love to help other’s feel loved, find their potential and reach their goals!
