Marisa Gomez

Operations Manager

In the spring of 2018, Marisa was a bartender in San Francisco when she was selected to represent SF in the Bartender Boxing Organization, where professional boxing trainers teach bartenders the basics of boxing. Through the BBO, Marisa began training with Paul Wade and 3rd Street Boxing. After months of rigorous training and a USA Boxing-sanctioned amateur fight, Marisa found herself fully immersed in the 3rd Street community and boxing culture.

Two years later, Marisa stepped into a management position at 3rd Street. As the pandemic hit, she and Paul worked tirelessly to creatively keep the business afloat, from delivering heavy bags to apartments all over the Bay Area to running virtual bootcamps. Despite the challenges, the gym ultimately pulled through, and Marisa continues to happily manage the 3rd Street boxing community with her life partner, Paul Wade.

When Marisa is not at the front desk, you can find her in the weight section working on her deadlift or at home on the couch with her pit bulls.
