Who We Are
Coaches
Maria Larangeira
-Head Coach-
“Ninja”
I am a retired 20 year Law Enforcement veteran from the great Garden State, New Jersey. I was first introduced to CrossFit in 2012. The intensity and physical challenge of it reminded me of my police training and the “never give up” attitude I strive to live by. From my very first workout, I was hooked. My background and my passion for living a “fit for life” lifestyle, fuel my passion and positive energy I bring to coaching. For me, what I love about coaching is that I have the opportunity to make a positive difference in people’s lives, helping them become the best version of themselves they can be.

Cole Pope

"CP"
I began as a collegiate strength coach right out of college and coached at the collegiate level for 10 years. During my last year as Head of Strength and Conditioning at Jacksonville University, I was introduced to CrossFit. I very quickly developed a passion for it and decided to move back to Ocala to begin coaching. I have been a CrossFit Coach and Strength & Conditioning Coach in Ocala at various facilities since 2013. Coaching is my passion, it’s what I am meant to do. I love helping people realize their true potential and helping them set and achieve their goals!
