MELISSA
GUITRON

Melissa is an OPEX CCP coach who started an individual design gym before the model existed. How? By trusting her gut, seeing the market gap, and seizing the opportunity, all with an unnerving amount of drive, purpose, and persistence. She had opened her first CrossFit gym by the time she was 27 and had an 80+ member ID gym by 30. Seven years later, OPEX Kura is a thriving OPEX gym community of 100+ on-site clients, four full-time coaches, a growing remote income stream, and more.

Now, Melissa wants to pay it forward to burgeoning coaches, self-starters, and fitness entrepreneurs who want to create and grow the gym of their dreams.
