Coach Karen Zenteno

I grew up in Phoenix and did my first CrossFit class without any athletic background and close to zero strength. Like many who enjoy CrossFit, I fell in love with the sport after my first WOD and signed up the next day. Over the years, I’ve seen the benefits of CrossFit in various areas of my life, both physically and mentally. This sport held me together during times of transition and change and it has allowed me to meet some amazing people along the way. I earned my CF-L1 last summer 2022 and am excited to be part of Sol’s coaching team and help members crush their fitness goals.

Outside of the gym, I’m happiest trying out a new place to eat or a craft beer. I also enjoy being out by the water, preferably on an island. I’m most recently proud of training and running the Chicago Marathon.
