My Name is Ricky Belen, Co-owner of Hyte CrossFit. I’m 30 Years old. I been always passionate about sports but never the strong kid, always getting injured, when I found CrossFit in 2014 I realize by working out the proper way I was going to become the best version of myself; adding to that, something that shock me it was the level of support and impact that the CrossFit community can do on you, helping you to be better every day.
That start the fire inside of me on becoming a coach and help others as CrossFit helped me.
As I was getting my Bachelors degree in Business Administration, I did the CrossFit L1 Trainer Certification with the idea of blending my two professions becoming a gym owner in the future.
I stopped coaching when I moved in to US in 2018 because of the language barrier, that gave me the motivation to learn the language and finally started coaching again in 2020, a year later me and my wife became Affiliate Owners with Hyte CrossFit.

Now I can deliver this beautiful methodology to a lot of people and I have my dream job!

My Favorite CrossFit Movement is The Thruster!!

My Name is Mari Monsalve, and I’m co-owner of Hyte CrossFit!
Throughout my youth I was not really disciplined in a sport, always trying to do something new as I easily got bored.
When I was 19 years old, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and was living in a lot of pain, that led me to research alternatives to live with that condition and that’s how I came across with CrossFit.
CrossFit is not only an exercise, it is also a lifestyle, thru nutrition and movement I have been able to live with a lot less pain, more energy and I can say I took control of my health.
What kept me coming back to the gym was 1. the community, always keeping me accountable, 2. the coaching, always making sure I was moving right and the best part is that I did not have to think about creating a workout or anything, everything was ready for me every time I walked in the door.

Now I can say I found my call in life, that is to help people take control of their health, I married my husband Ricky (we met at CrossFit) and I get to do it surrounded by the best community there is!

Precision Nutrition Coach
Coaching Fundamentals Certificate (CrossFit)

Growing up I always played sports from gymnastics in my youth to volleyball and lacrosse in college. Going to the gym was something I never stuck with long term. I tried just about everything and in my senior year of college when my sports seasons were over I decided to give CrossFit a try. Long story short, I fell in love with the sport. I loved the competitiveness of it which replaced no longer playing sports, but it was the community and accountability that kept me coming everyday. The CrossFit community is unlike any other and I knew I wanted to be able to help others achieve the goals they had for themselves by coaching. Seeing someone hit a PR or learn a new skill is so rewarding and I love that I get to help with that.

Favorite CrossFit Movement is Handstand Push Ups!

CrossFit Level 2 Trainer (CF-L2)

As a former college athlete who left the game early due to injuries, I always knew that I needed to replace that competitive edge with something else. I started CrossFit in 2015 to pursue a healthier lifestyle. It didn’t take long to see what an amazing community came with CrossFit and I was immediately hooked. In 2017 I began coaching because I wanted to help people change their life and strive to become healthier. Having the competitive aspect always drove me simply because it allows me to push myself more knowing everyone in class next to me is doing the same. Because of CrossFit, I have found life-long friends, a love for health and wellness, and a passion to help others live a healthier, happier life.

Favorite CrossFit movement is Bar Muscle Ups!

My name is Joel, originally from Michigan, I have 12 years of dedicated CrossFit coaching experience with an obvious passion for coaching, competing and studying CrossFit.

My journey in CrossFit has led me to a Level 2 CrossFit certification and have been further enriched by multiple weightlifting and gymnastics certifications through the years.

I believe the 4-5 hours a week that I dedicate to CrossFit goes far beyond physical improvement. I believe CrossFit gives me invaluable life skills that I apply daily to my roles as husband, father, and friend.
