We are fitness professionals, pro athletes and a couple! We met at an obstacle course race in 2015 and raced professionally alongside each other for years. Since becoming a couple we have enjoyed sharing our love for fitness and racing with each other. We are so happy that we can now share our passion with you all through our fitness and athlete programs. Read our individual stories below:
Coach Victor’s Story:
I was an athlete growing up & always knew I would be a pro athlete someday, but after I stopped playing baseball I struggled with my weight.
At 13, I gained a lot of weight being inactive & eating all of the fast food. By 10th grade I knew I needed a change so I started learning about working out & began lifting weights. By the end of the year I lost a ton of weight & even had a 6 pack. People thought I was on steroids 😱 Well fast forward 5 years later after lots of alcohol & partying, the weight was back on. 😩 By 25, I said enough is enough. I got back in the gym, but this time adding some more cardio. The weight was back off & I was feeling good when one of my coworkers introduced me to Spartan Race. I signed up for my 1st Spartan Race in 2014 & began incorporating running in my routine.
After my 1st race, the rest is history! I was hooked. I stopped drinking & dedicated my life to being the best athlete I could be. By 2015, I won my first race in Hawaii & my dream of being a pro athlete finally became real. Then after having my son in 2018, it became even more important for me to continue to be a positive role model for him through the qualities this sport requires.
I struggled with weight gain, I was not a runner, but after years of discipline, determination & belief, I’m a pro athlete in OCR competing with the best of the best. I’ve completely transformed & I’m excited to help you transform and be the best you can be! 💪🏼💪🏼
Coach Kimberly's Story:
I’ve been a personal trainer since college (12+ years). Yet I grew up an athlete playing soccer until transiting to boxing & muay thai. I found OCR thanks to a client whom I helped beat colon cancer through health & fitness. After he beat cancer he wanted to try a Spartan Super. I signed up with him since he never ran more than 3 miles & the race was in 1 month. It was a miserable race, 30 degrees in Chicago in the evening. We finished, but both got sick! Yet somehow I wanted more & signed up for a tough mudder with friends. After beating all my friends, I realized I could be good at this.
I immediately went pro for the Chicago Hard Charge OCR show airing on Comcast Sportsnet. I won 2nd & was sponsored for the next race. However, I hurt my back in a car accident & was out a couple months. My 1st race back was Indiana sprint elite with Amelia Boone & other top athletes. I took 5th that day qualifying for the world championships. Didn’t even know they had world championships, but It was then I knew racing would become a huge part of my life. I quickly became sponsored being flown all over for races, placing top 10 majority most pro races, 1st in terrain, 2nd tougher mudder & have placed 28th in OCR worlds pro 3k, 19th OCR nationals pro 3k & 61st in Spartan Worlds pro. There were some tough losses in between (battle frog was my enemy😩🤣), but that’s what keeps it exciting & me striving to be better.
I love that I can harness my competitiveness through my love for fitness. The various races always provide a new challenge & gives me a chance to defy my genetics showing my clients that anything truly is possible!
Fitness is my life, helping people achieve their full & best potential is my passion & training for athletic events is second nature. I can truly help you excel no matter the competition! 💪🏼
