On a member note, we’d like to take a moment to wish Melissa “Diesel” Nunez a Happy Birthday!  Mel is one of the OG CrossFit Gables members.  She’s always been a staple in the afternoon classes bringing humor, fun and a fighting spirit.  Mel has also volunteered and competed in many of the events that we’ve hosted throughout the years. 

HAVE AN AMAZING BIRTHDAY MEL!
