Melanie Sliwka
SEALFIT Intergrated Training Center
Melanie Sliwka has been coaching and training at the SEALFIT Intergrated Training Center for many years and is the eleventh woman in the world to pass through the civilian version of the Navy SEALs Hell week. Formerly a competitive surfer, Melanie is no stranger to extreme physical acts and also the toll they can take on your body. Melanie uses many different tools and technics to recover and repair her body from this extreme training regime. Yoga, acupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractic and, of course, floating all keep Melanie ready for anything life, or work, have to throw at her. Melanie just released her first book, SEALFIT’s 6 Weeks To Cleaner Eating and companion program. She feels very blessed and fortunate to be in a space where she can learn and grow through radical new technology and age old meditation and self-realization. She chooses to make every day better than the last. Check out her blog at http://
