Melanie Rankins

Melanie has been passionate about fitness her entire life. A competitive gymnast from the age of three through college, she earned All-American honors as a collegiate athlete before transitioning into coaching, where she spent nine years training young gymnasts.

Her commitment to health and wellness led her to pursue a career in personal training. She completed her certification at the Personal Training Institute in Minneapolis, MN, and began her professional journey at Gold’s Gym. Soon after, Melanie launched her own fitness studio, Crow River Fitness, where she combined her expertise and entrepreneurial spirit to help others reach their goals.

Since 2018, Melanie has been a key member of the Endurance Fitness team in Lino Lakes, MN, where she teaches high-energy Tabata classes and offers one-on-one personal training. She also provides in-home personal training services, making fitness accessible and personalized for her clients.

A dedicated endurance athlete, Melanie has completed six half marathons and two full marathons. Her passion for fitness is not only professional but personal—she prioritizes her health and strength to stay active and energized for her two young sons.
