Marina brings over a decade of CrossFit coaching and gym ownership experience to our staff. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience and can’t wait to help make you better. One of her favorite quotes, "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you" (Fred Devito), exemplifies Marina’s commitment to CrossFit and to the athletes she coaches.

Marina started her crossfit journey in 2012 when, like many of us, she was invited by a friend to give it a try. Growing up as a competitive gymnast and not having much experience with the barbell, Marina loved the challenge of learning new movements, mastering the barbell, and all while able to incorporate her gymnastics background into her fitness. Marina was hooked the second her friend mentioned handstands!

Marina became a CrossFit coach in 2013 earning her CF-L1 and her earned CF-L2 coaching certification in 2015. Additionally, Marina has earned certifications in CF Kids, CF Rowing, CF Kettlebell, CF Gymnastics, and is a NCCP (National Coaching Certification Program-Canada) Level 1 Weightlifting Instructor.

“I love the community crossfit provides and I love helping people become fitter from wherever they are at! As a coach, it makes me so happy when an athlete breaks through a barrier, learns a new skill they have been working on or learns more about how strong and amazing their body truly is!”
