Marla Brasco is a busy mom to a football-loving high-school bound son and a Crossfit coach. She earned her Level 1 Crossfit certification in 2016 and went on to earn her Level 2 in 2021.

In addition to her Level 2 she holds her Crossfit Gymnastics certification. This certification not only complements her passion for gymnastics but also aligns with her background in cheerleading.

“Originally from Pittsburgh, I attended the University of Pittsburgh and Duquesne University to become a school psychologist. I’ve been blessed to have worked in Sarasota County Schools for nearly 20 years!

For me, Crossfit is about mental resilience as much as physical strength. At Crossfit Megalodon, I’m dedicated to fostering a supportive environment where everyone, regardless of fitness level, feels empowered to reach their full potential. It’s a special community where unwavering support and camaraderie make everyone feel like family.”
