Coach Kristina was very welcoming and supportive. She is very encouraging and uplifting. She ensures that I am doing the techniques proper so I do not get hurt and ensures that I keep the proper techniques. Her boost of motivation is very inspiring. I hope to develop her endurance, strength and mindset one day. She has a glow and positive energy that is very inspiring even very early in the morning. I look forward to getting stronger and passing my test.

Kristina was great! She gave very helpful form advice, patiently explaining exactly how to perform each movement with the right technique. I appreciated how she watched closely, gently correcting my posture by adjusting my shoulders and spine alignment, and guiding me through every step - from the initial setup to the finishing position - to make sure I was doing the exercises properly and safely. She was engaging throughout the whole class, offering encouragement that kept me motivated even when the workout became tough. The energy she brought made the session feel both focused and enjoyable, turning challenging moments into ones I looked forward to. The other members who attended the class also made a strong impact on the overall attitude. Their positive energy and friendly interactions created a welcoming atmosphere that made it easy to stay focused and push myself harder. It’s very clear that members and faculty at Bold Athletics have strong friendships, which adds a sense of community and support that you don’t find everywhere. Being part of that group made the whole experience feel more meaningful and motivating, as if I was working out alongside friends who genuinely wanted to see me succeed.

Review for Kristina Marinkovich

Enjoyed trying new gymnastic and balance exercises- one legged broad jumps, dips and holds on the rings- a year into CrossFit and like that I’m still trying new movements. Have more self confidence and endurance because of consistent coaching and attendance. That’s a product of the gym owner’s tone and my own drive to stay fit deep into my 40s and beyond! Strength and honor.

Review for Kristina Marinkovich

Even though I’m recovering from shoulder surgery and can’t do the high-level workouts with the rest of the members, Kristina has always carved out time to spend with me. She carefully designs exercises that accommodate my limitations while still challenging me to build strength and mobility. Her attention to how my shoulder responds during each movement, along with the encouragement she offers, makes me feel confident and motivated throughout my recovery. The entire team at Bold Athletics has been incredibly welcoming. Whether it’s checking in on how I’m feeling or celebrating small victories, they create an environment where I feel supported and valued. I can’t thank them enough for making this journey not just about recovery, but about becoming a healthier version of myself.

I thought Brad did a really great job under difficult circumstances. It was the largest group I’ve been a part of since starting at Bold. The individual skill levels were all over the board (and my own were negligible). Despite it all, Brad kept it together, was everywhere at once, and was continually encouraging everyone.

My experience at Bold Athletics was awesome! Kristina made me feel super welcome. I’ve been to a few gyms, but I’ve never had someone really break down good form the way Kristina has. She took time to make sure I was doing the movements safely, and she pointed out something I was doing in my squat that I had no idea was even happening. I’m excited to become a part of what’s happening at Bold Athletics!

While doing hanging knee raises and kips during today’s workout, I was experiencing some discomfort in my left shoulder. Kristina prompted me to make a change in how I was hanging from the bar. The correction immediately decreased my discomfort and improved my ability to complete the movements more efficiently.
