Interested in Trying Revel Out?
If you’re curious about Revel Strength & Fitness, the best way to understand what makes us different is simple: come experience a class.
You can read about coaching, community, and programming but the real magic happens when you walk through the door, meet the people, and feel how intentional everything is.
We invite interested newcomers to try a class so you can see what we’re all about, meet our coaches, and get a feel for our community. Many people choose to start with a Saturday class, which is a relaxed, welcoming introduction. These classes are often more bodyweight-focused, approachable, and a great way to ease in no pressure, no intimidation.
No matter your experience level, everything we do is scaled to you. You don’t need to be “in shape” to start—we meet you where you are.
If you’re interested in trying a class or learning more, we’d love to meet you.
Come try Revel and see for yourself.

Christina started working out at a local Y after she quit college dance. She needed a physical outlet to fill the hole where dance once was. Working out was that outlet and she got serious about it taking up CrossFit in 2008. Throughout the years Christina stayed committed to CrossFit, competing in the sport and even making 4 Regionals and 1 CrossFit Games appearance. She began her coaching career in 2010 completing her Level 1 Certification and started coaching full time. From there she opened a CrossFit gym in Tulsa, Oklahoma with two other co-owners and eventually moved on to St. Louis to manage and work at two CrossFit gyms there. Needing a little more Christina decided to return to Tulsa, Oklahoma and open Revel Strength and Fitness where she has been running and coaching since 2016. She has worked hard and earned her Level 3 CrossFit Certification making her a CCFT. Christina’s passion is coaching people. She has extensively studied the mechanics of every modality CrossFit has to offer and has coached over 10,000 hours in the gym. She wants people to know that Revel will meet you wherever you are in life. You don’t have to be a certain age, fitness level or body type. Revel can and will help you reach your goals.

Christina Merlo
Owner/Head Coach CF-L3
Becca got hooked on CrossFit after using it to help her lose the last of her baby weight after giving birth to her daughter Parker. She had been active her entire life in one form or the other starting off with sports in high school, cheer, pom and then running after college. Becca started out as a regular member at Revel and fell in love with the community and knew she wanted to take her fitness to the next level, helping people fall in love with their fitness journey like she did. After COVID Christina asked her to come on as a coach and she’s never looked back. She loves motivating others and finding unique was to teach complex movements in the gym. She wants anyone who is interested in Revel to come in, show up for yourself and have fun.
