Bella Vista Resident Using Fitness to Change Lives – KNWA

Bella Vista, AR -- - For some, fitness is a way of life. Others workout just for fun. But one Bella Vista man is combining them both.

"I just wanted to start a free bootcamp for people just to get them out, to exercise, to have a good time." Scottie Melo, the starter of Melo Motivation, said.

Scottie Melo started Melo Motivation exactly two years Sunday at Bella Vista Lake park. Melo started the group all because a friend from church asked him for help.

"I went to him one day and said, I want to lose some weight man, can you help me out? And he said sure and we came out here started." Adrain Broadus, one Melo Motivation participant, said.

What started with just one person has now turned into dozens of people. One of those is Michael Clark who served in the marines. Clark said 6 years ago he became disabled but thanks to MeloMotivation his life is now changed.

"I've had nerve damage running down my legs and horrible pain in my feet and with this workout with Scottie, I'm about 90% pain free and I feel wonderful. At 61 I really feel like I'm 41."

The fitness group meets three times a week ranging from 45 minutes to an hour in a high intensity workout. Clark said thanks to Melo Motivation, he is now able to do things that he wouldn't be able to otherwise.

"It's all great except for the burpees, I hate the burpees. I hate running but Scottie's got me to run half marathons and 5ks. Five years ago I probably couldn't have run."

Melo said the goal for participants is to get a great workout in and have fun while doing it.
