As a former cross-country/Track Athlete I have become a student of running science and training methodologies. Since finishing my career as a runner, I have fallen in love with Hybrid training. Combining aerobic engine work and muscular endurance strength has led me to over 5 podium HYROX finishes, and a top 5 HYROX World Championship finish. I coach with passion, because this is my passion.

coach-avatar Marissa Richey

With 3 years of personal and group fitness training experiences and the holder of many elite running and rowing times, I love pushing my limits. With both a background in education and fitness my heart and passion is unwavering: I desire to empower individuals with knowledge and tools to unlock their full potential. Crafting clear, quality fitness regimes that align with goals is my specialty.
