Meet Christie and Melea H.

Posted on Tuesday July 28, 2026

Christie is the founder of Gutted Fitness LLC – a stress and recovery gym in Midtown St. Louis. We met her and her daughter Melea on the newest section of the Brickline Greenway near Harris-Stowe State University. They live and work in downtown St. Louis and are so excited to have this dedicated space for walking, running, pushing a stroller, and riding a teeny, tiny trike!

“I love having the Brickline Greenway in Midtown near my home and work! It allows time for us to reset, release energy and recharge safely. We walk as much as possible, outside, every day. On the Brickline, I don’t have to worry about uneven pavement, steep curbs, or to look for cars while walking, running, and spending time outside with my daughter. We enjoy the flowers and art along the way— they help us practice identifying colors and plants. The Brickline Greenway has been the best amenity in our neighborhood and helps us keep a healthy routine.”
