I’m Mariya Munsey* — the Y is there because I’m half Japanese and allergic to writing a bio in third person. I’m a multi-disciplinary creative based out of LA but also call Seattle + Tokyo home. I guess they call me the Creative Director of Earned / Not Given Club.
At my day job in advertising, I’ve helped craft projects for brands like Nike, Apple, Adidas, Converse, Disney, Coca-Cola Co, and more. But E/NG is where my love of sport, building community, and creative truly come together.
I’ve been a ‘creative athlete’ since I can remember. Growing up playing soccer and basketball, the feeling of working towards something as a team is where I find comfort. Yet the oddly independent and self motivated pursuit of being creative is where I thrive.
Although I’m not a trainer, I truly believe that strength and movement training is a vital part of the creative process, both physically and mentally. And my mindset for the two are the same: always be learning.
You can find me training in our semi-privates or running around with a camera in hand at our classes & events.
*If you’re struggling on the pronunciation of my name think of the song Maria by Santana or the one from Sound of Music. I promise it will help. No need to sing it to me out loud though.

The E/NG Philosophy and Promise
Earned / Not Given Club is a platform that focuses on more than just fitness. Our core belief is that individual growth inspires communal growth — this means that we prioritize your wellness from many different points of view so that you can show up as your best self for you and the people around you.
Progress Over Perfection
We do not believe in a constant state of perfection. Work can get busy, events can break your routine, everyone needs a vacation, and more. We will always work with you with the understanding that life ebbs and flows.
Community First
We believe in creating a safe and welcoming community, within and even outside our walls. But we also believe in putting in the work individually, with each other, and with our collaborators to uplift and support the community of Los Angeles in various ways.
Mindset and Momentum Matter
At E/NG Club we are committed to taking on your goals alongside you. We believe everyone has the capability to improve their mental and physical health just by showing up and being willing to put in the work.
