ABOUT OUR TEAM

MARIA PENATE

Maria has a Bachelors Degree in Biology at City College of New York. She started her fitness journey in 2015 when she joined a NYSC because she “wanted to lose weight”. Fast forward 4 years she went to her first CrossFit class and completely fell in love with it. In 2022 she started coaching CrossFit classes and the following year she got my NASM nutrition coaching certification. She is also a Level 1 USA Weightlifting Coach.

Maria loves competing and always trying different things. She does local CrossFit competitions, has done 3 Olympic Weightlifting meets, ran the NYC Half Marathon, did Hyrox NYC, did a Spartan race, a duathlon, etc. You name it, she’s tried it!

Aside from fitness she loves to do outdoor activities like hiking. She also loves to travel and has been to countries like Thailand, India, South Africa, Philippines, Morocco, Japan, etc.

Overall, Maria’s biggest passion is helping others become a better version of themselves through fitness and nutrition. If she can get someone to be just 1% better everyday, she has won!
