About Coach Marissa Gee

Coach Marissa Tiamfook Gee, JD
NASM, USATF and NBC-HWC Certified

Hi! I’m Coach Marissa Gee and I would be honored to be your coach and trainer. As a former corporate lawyer, small business owner, and mom, I know that your time and investment are valuable. Trusting me with your health, body and overall quality of life is a big responsibility and I don’t take it lightly.

My Experience

As a certified health coach from Vanderbilt University’s Integrative Medical Center, a certified personal trainer from NASM, and a USATF Certified Running Coach, I have helped people of all ages and abilities, from age eight to age 90, including post-natal mothers, older adults, and those recovering from surgery or a stroke. I also coach marathoners of all levels and have experience coaching cross country and track & field at Santa Monica College. I take great pride in every athlete I train, and each finish line feels like a personal victory.

an athletic childhood…

I became an athlete as a young child. My father began running to lose weight, and he took me and my sister, along with our dogs, to the local track every Saturday. It got us out of the house, out of my mom’s hair, and we got to spend time with Dad. Pretty soon we were beating him around the track, then most other kids in our age group races. I ran my first track race at age 7, my first 5K and 10K at age 8, and my first marathon at 21. I now run and race regularly, but also coach, cross-train with plyometrics, cycling, swimming, yoga, boxing, weight training, and dance.

World Traveler

I am an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys trekking and exploring mountains and hidden trails. I have traveled extensively, working in healthcare in Uganda, teaching English in Asia, interning at the UN in Geneva, practicing law in Mexico, and studying abroad in Jerusalem and Amsterdam. I’ve also backpacked through the Pacific Rim and Europe, and climbed Mt. Fuji in Japan, the Yellow Mountains of China, and Ayers Rock in Australia. Also, I’ve repelled through caves in New Zealand and Israel, hang-glided in Brazil, water skied in Russia, and ran miles everywhere.

I now live in Los Angeles with my husband and two daughters.
