M.A.C Videos: Fifty Years. On Film

Every fight, every celebration, every milestone - captured.

In The Press

Melrose Athletic Club and Champ's Gym have been a part of the Roanoke story for over fifty years. The local media has taken notice. From news features on the gym's legacy to coverage of our community programs and youth athletes, Melrose Athletic Club has earned its place in the conversation about what makes Roanoke a community worth investing in.

The coverage you see here is not the whole story. It is just the part the cameras caught.

What's Happening At M.A.C

From the boxing gym to the football field - there is always something worth showing up for.
