Oscar Jaren – Head Coach

My background in sport and fitness goes back to when I was kid. I played a lot of different sports, Tennis, Fencing, Soccer, etc.. but there was only one that I fell in love with, baseball. Started at the age of 8 and played until I graduated from High School. This sport taught me discipline and teamwork. Wasn’t too long after I finished my career as a baseball player that I found CrossFit, introduced to me by a friend. I spend so much time at the gym that Jhon (Head Coach) gave me the opportunity to intern and help around. That was when I found my passion for coaching and helping others improve their lives. Took seminars and learn a lot from the other coaches, I became a CrossFit Level 1 Coach, I also got certified as a Running Coach by Pose Method and Gymnastic Coach. I have competed in several local Crossfit competitions placing 3rd in one of them.

Lulu Faria – Coach

It wasn’t until her 20s that Lulu got involved in fitness. Her journey started with bodybuilding but eventually she fell in love with the functionality that Crossfit offered – it wasn’t just about the body looking good, but moving great as well! Besides being a CF Level 1 trainer, she also has certifications as a personal trainer, body mechanics, functional and core training specialist. Outside of fitness, she’s also studying to become a nurse. Growing up as an overweight child, she knows there’s no short cuts, and in order to get results, you must put the work in – so if she’s giving you tough love, it’s because she cares.

Maya Louzado – Coach

Born and raised in Miami, I have a love for sports and the outdoors! For 7 years, my passion was soccer, I was the captain of my varsity team and I loved bringing everyone together to enjoy the sport. Once I graduated college I felt the need to challenge myself and I stumbled upon CrossFit. The sport allowed me to be competitive with others and more importantly with myself. Not to mention all the everlasting friendships I have made at the gym.
With my background in Business and Marketing and my new found passion for fitness and helping others, I became a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and the manager of the gym! I am happy to make an impact in others lives and health, one workout at a time! 🙂
