Mariam Mohamed Shatta began her journey in sports at a young age, around the age of eleven, with athletics becoming an important part of her life and a major source of passion. She started with table tennis, competing at a competitive level and participating in various competitions before exploring different disciplines, including fencing, squash, and fitness.

As her athletic journey continued, Mariam explored Parkour, Street Workout, and physical fitness, developing a diverse foundation in movement, strength, and conditioning. These experiences played an important role in shaping her as an athlete and eventually led her toward the sport that would become a major part of her career.

A major turning point came when Mariam entered her first CrossFit competition through ELFIT. Although she had limited technical experience in CrossFit at the time, the experience sparked a genuine passion for the sport and encouraged her to become more involved in the CrossFit community.

She gradually progressed from attending approximately one CrossFit class per week to committing herself more seriously to training. She focused on improving her technique, developing her physical abilities, and continuously challenging herself. What began as a single competition eventually became the beginning of her journey as a CrossFit Athlete.

In 2017, Mariam participated in the CrossFit Open and successfully qualified from the Open stage to the Regional stage, marking an important milestone in the early stages of her competitive career.

From that point forward, Mariam maintained a consistent presence in competitive sports. She participated in the CrossFit Open every year, competed in numerous local competitions across Egypt, and also participated in multiple IFBB competitions, gaining diverse competitive experience across different sporting events.

In early 2020, Mariam achieved third place at ELFIT, continuing to develop her athletic level and competitive experience.

After moving to the United Arab Emirates, Mariam continued her competitive journey by participating in the UAE Storm Games in team-based competitions. She achieved first place and second place in Teams competitions associated with Civil Defense, adding another significant team-based experience to her athletic journey.

She also competed as part of a team at the US Tournament Games, further expanding her experience in team competitions and different competitive environments.

Alongside her athletic career, Mariam developed her professional coaching experience through work across a variety of gyms and training environments. Her experience includes CrossFit, Fitness, Gym Training, and Weightlifting, allowing her to work with individuals with different levels, abilities, and goals.

Throughout her coaching journey, she worked with several training facilities and teams, including Bar Warriors Workout Team, Base-1 Gym & Fitness Center, Muscle Zone Gym, Viking Box Club, Black Barz Fitness Club, Marvel Gym & Physical Fitness Center, and CrossFit Proactive Gym, before moving to the United Arab Emirates and beginning a new chapter at Primal Gym in Abu Dhabi.

Mariam currently works as a CrossFit & Weightlifting Coach at Primal Gym, where she delivers CrossFit Classes, Personal Training, Weightlifting Classes, and Functional Training. She works with clients ranging from beginners to intermediate and advanced levels and designs training programs according to each individual’s goals and needs.

As her career developed, Mariam continued to strengthen her practical experience with professional education and certifications. Her qualifications include CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, HYROX Official Participation Certificate, and CPR Certification. She also holds a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting – English Section from Port Said University.

Mariam’s coaching philosophy is based on one fundamental belief: every individual requires a training approach tailored to their specific needs, abilities, and goals. She places a strong emphasis on movement quality and technique while taking injuries and physical limitations into consideration.

For Mariam, proper technique always comes before increasing weight or intensity. She believes that real progress comes from correct movement, consistency, and safe progression, creating a strong foundation for long-term development.

Her philosophy can be summed up in two simple principles:

Technique First. Consistency Always.

Her journey is far from complete. Moving forward, Mariam aims to expand her knowledge and experience in Rehabilitation, develop her understanding of injury management and sports rehabilitation, continue improving as a competitive athlete, participate in more competitions, and pursue additional certifications and specializations.
