About CrossFit Hoka Hey
our Mission.
At CrossFit Hoka Hey, we’re more than a gym. We’re a community that shows up for each other, celebrates every victory, and refuses to let anyone settle for less than they’re capable of. We have an unrelenting drive to win, not just in competition, but in everyday life through discipline, consistency, and hard work. Every workout is designed to challenge your limits, build confidence, and reveal strength you didn’t know you had. Whether your goal is to lose weight, get stronger, move better, or become the healthiest version of yourself, we’re committed to helping you achieve the best results of your life. When you walk through our doors, you’re not just joining a gym. You’re joining a team that expects greatness and helps you earn it.

Maria Craig
Owner at CrossFit Hoka Hey
- CrossFit Level 1
A mother of eight, a competitor at heart, a gym warrior, and, above all, a woman of faith. Life is anything but slow-paced for Maria. From raising her children with love and devotion to pushing herself in the gym, she thrives on challenge, competition, and growth. She’s not just showing up-she’s giving her all, every single day. Whether she’s lifting heavier, moving faster, or striving to be better than yesterday, her competitive spirit fuels her. But Maria’s strength doesn’t just come from her training-it comes from God. Her faith is the foundation of everything she does. In every challenge, every victory, and even in the struggles, she leans on Him for guidance, strength, and purpose. She’s living proof that you can be strong, competitive, and deeply rooted in faith-that you can chase your passions while raising a family and keeping God at the center. Maria is not just a mother, not just an athlete-she’s an inspiration. She reminds us that with faith, hard work, and an unstoppable spirit, all things are possible.
