Melanie is originally from Stone Mountain, Georgia and was raised in the Atlanta area. She graduated from Clarkston High School in 1978. She held a variety of jobs in her 20s, but was not involved in the fitness industry. Overweight, unhappy and divorced, she moved to Orlando, Florida in 1990.
In Orlando, Melanie began to get interested in fitness and wellness. She first began to get into shape by attending Jazzercise classes and learning about proper nutrition. Eventually, she got interested in weight training, becoming both a certified personal trainer and sports nutrition counselor. In addition, although she never competed, she was a professional level body builder.
She met her husband, Kenny Roberts, a retired City of Orlando Police Detective, while living in Orlando. They moved to Murphy in 2001 and now own two businesses, Curves For Women and MelKen Land Development. She and Kenny live in the Unaka Community where they built their dream home and reside with 4 dogs and 2 cats.
Getting involved in fitness not only made me healthier physically, but mentally as well. I am now a stronger woman and hope that I make a difference to other women by helping them feel better about themselves through fitness.
