Malia Warren

Malia holds a B.S. in Criminal Justice from CSU Sacramento and has been doing CrossFit for over 10 years. Her favorite lift is the clean and jerk, and after moving to Florida in 2022 for the sunshine, she and her family haven’t looked back. She’s competed in Olympic weightlifting, CrossFit competitions, Spartan races, and more half marathons than she can count. When she’s not coaching, she’s probably at the beach or Disney, reading, or deep in a fandom rabbit hole — TSwift, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings are her specialties.

Her life theme has always been “go all in.” Sports taught her early that grit beats talent, and CrossFit became a major turning point in 2012. But in 2022, being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s changed everything — the fatigue, weight gain, and confusion pushed her to learn more about her own health. That journey inspired her to pursue her PT certification so she could better support others navigating autoimmune challenges.

Her purpose as a coach is simple: help people feel strong, capable, and like athletes again. She believes fitness should feel like play — joyful, challenging, and empowering. Whether that means crushing a Spartan race, trying a new sport, or carrying all your groceries in one trip, she wants every member to feel welcome, seen, and supported on their path to living a fuller, happier life.
