Melanie Garcia (Owner)
Seeing that three of the four trainers at Moxy are sisters (and the fourth trainer might as well be a sister too!), it goes without saying that being raised in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is conducive with being passionate about the outdoor lifestyle. Melanie has been a NESTA Certified Fitness Trainer since 2004 and is CPR and AED certified from the Red Cross. Melanie is the CEO of Moxy Fitness and produces the Annual “Solstice Scramble” Trail Run.

Melanie spends her free time mountain biking, road biking, snowboarding and trail running with her two Golden Retrievers, Tucker and Owen. She competes in mountain bike races, adventure races and trail running events.
