About Coach

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would one day own a gym. Growing up in Greece and spending over a decade working in the entertainment industry, fitness wasn't even on my radar. In 2015, during one of the most difficult seasons of my life, I walked through the doors of CrossFit Prescott Valley. What I found was so much more than a workout. I found friendships, purpose, and a community that believed in me before I believed in myself. It's where I met my husband, built lifelong relationships, and grew physically, emotionally, and spiritually.When the opportunity came to purchase CrossFit Prescott Valley, it wasn't just about buying a business. It was about preserving the place that had completely changed my life. This gym isn't just four walls and equipment, it's a second home. It's where people celebrate victories, overcome setbacks, discover confidence, and become part of a family.Today, my passion is to help others experience the same transformation I did. I love watching someone accomplish something they never thought possible, gain confidence in themselves, and realize they're capable of so much more than they imagined. Whether you're walking into the gym for the first time or chasing a new goal, I hope CrossFit Prescott Valley becomes for you what it became for me :a place that changes your life from the inside out.

CrossFit and CrossFit Prescott Valley have 100% turned my life around. I only knew a few people in this town and now I have an amazing family that all happen to be a part of our gym. I have always struggled with weight and body image and CrossFit has taught me how to be confident in my own skin, even if I am not where I want to be at any given moment. Even as a Coach, nutrition coach, and now owner of the gym I have my moments when I struggle with my nutrition and fitness but our community is so amazing that they are there to uplift each other but also us and make us drive harder and stick to our goals. There is something amazing to say about a group of individuals from all walks of life, all ages, and all fitness levels coming together for the common goal of health and wellness in a safe and fun environment. It is actually pretty remarkable to be part of a CrossFit community.
