Background: My name is Marissa Pagaran. I am 28 years old; I’ve been coaching/personal training since 2015. I started my fitness journey through Crossfit. I started coaching Crossfit about a year later. I fell in love with the feeling and results that came with working out. I thought to myself if I can change my lifestyle, why couldn’t I help others do the same? Short after, I decided to pursue my bachelor’s in Kinesiology and obtain my Personal Training certification. During school and after graduation, I worked in various commercial gyms and sports clinics where we worked with a lot of MMA and Crossfit Athletes. I love helping my clients whether it is to lose weight or to rehab an injury; it’s the best feeling to know I was part of their journey. Outside of the gym, I like to hike, explore new places, and just have fun with friends. Now, I am happily continuing my personal training career with the Silicon Valley Athletics family.
