Meet Coach Corina AKA “Das Machine”
Corina comes to us from the greatest province in the country, Manitoba. Her introduction to fitness started at a young age when she quit all recreational sports and started danced competitively.
She trained in all styles, competing and performing across her hometown and the country. She loved performing so much, that she made a career out of it, and got her Bachelors Honours Degree in Musical Theatre Performance. It was during the first covid lockdown that she found herself unable to do what she loved and was confronted with a lot of negative health and fitness habits she’d created from the demanding performance industry.
By some random fluke she decided to walk into a CrossFit gym and like most people, had an “aha moment”. Somehow, the mixture of community, competition, goal setting, and self motivation gave her a sense of empowerment that she had never felt before. She loved CrossFit because when she showed up, results happened, and she could do this all for herself, not for the critics eye. Unexpectedly, she began to thrive in her dance classes and auditions, and gained attention for how her technique and performance improved drastically.
After this, CrossFit became her outlet, community, and daily accomplishment.
Whenever she traveled for work she began coaching and teaching anyone she could, and sharing how functional movement changed her life! She soon would be known by her cast mates and audience members as “the jacked one” on stage, which only empowered her more to represent healthy athletic bodies in an exclusive field.
She is so excited to start officially coaching at Colosseum! The gym has been a big catalyst in her fitness journey and she hopes to give back even a fraction of what she has gained from it!
Let’s go get to it !
