Founder and Co-Owner
I was a competitive athlete in both Karate and Kickboxing and was fortunate enough to compete internationally!
Now, I've owned and operated martial arts schools for the past 35 years, been involved in many franchises and organizations, and learned a great deal about the Health and Fitness industry.
I believe the fitness industry is the key to health and longevity. One particular sport or fitness activity does not do it all. What I love about Gym Rat is that we've designed this intentionally so members will be able to diversify their fitness regime and benefit from many activities throughout their journey, not having to pick and choose due to financial restraints!

Founder and Co-Owner
When I'm not working, you can find me at the gym, or exploring the world. I am always eager to learn, and success to me means achieving fulfillment in the things I do.
I also own and operate a local construction company. I love to build!
I am passionate about fitness and health. I played competitive sports such as soccer and hockey growing up, which then evolved into a love for fitness and training. I am a certified online personal trainer, and before Gym Rat I had 3 gym memberships at catering to different goals of mine. Gym Rat is an unbelievable tool as it helps me keep up with my goals for one monthly cost, and allows me freedom to explore different disciplines.

Operations & Brand Director
Hi! I'm Clarissa. I'm passionate about entrepreneurship and making a positive impact in this world we live in.
I'm an operations whiz, having 8 years of experience in the franchise industry and having owned and operated 2 successful businesses in the past.
My fitness journey has been ever evolving. I competed as a track athlete, dancer, and horse back rider. My fitness routine now looks like a combination of weight lifting and hot yoga, and the occasional pilates or cycling class. I love that Gym Rat gives me the freedom to do what I want, when I want without the need for multiple gym memberships.
