Marla Brasco

My passion is fueled by longevity, leadership, and purpose. As a single, only parent, I’m committed to living my longest, healthiest life so I can always be there for my son. With heart disease in my family, training and nutrition are how I protect my heart and my future. I’m inspired when people at work, in the gym, or in my community ask for guidance on fitness and health. I strive to model a balanced life—showing my son and others that consistency, not perfection, creates real change.

CrossFit is my foundation. Training at my gym is my favorite way to stay fit because it combines strength, conditioning, and constantly varied challenges. Beyond the workouts, the support and camaraderie of an incredible community and group of friends push me to be better, mentally and physically. It builds resilience, keeps training fun, and makes fitness sustainable in the gym and in everyday life.

Building on my CrossFit Level 1 and Level 2 foundation, I’d invest in continued education around functional movement, nutrition, longevity, and youth development. I’d apply that knowledge through small community efforts, support my son’s athletic growth, and use the Ms. Health & Fitness platform to share practical, heart-healthy fitness habits that support both physical and mental well-being for women and families.
