March Athlete of the Month: Daniela Carvalo

Congratulations Daniela, you are our March Athlete of the Month!

Daniela has been a part of our mid-day, 10am group, for a while now. This class has formed a tightknit bond and is a great example of what our NoCoast community is all about. Not only is this group socially there for each other on a daily basis, but they’ve supported each other through their highs and lows inside and outside of class! This is a piece of what makes NoCoast so incredibly special!

We are so proud of Daniela’s dedication to the gym and we love how hard she works every day. Her strength, fitness, and confidence has grown so much in her time at NoCoast. We are thankful for her and Cesar’s support and love - thank you, Daniela!
