       Castronuova got her start as a boxer before she became a trainer. She first entered the competitive boxing arena by competing locally in boxing events. Her first championship was at the New York Empire State Games where she won a gold medal. She went become the New York Golden Gloves Champion twice, winning the title in Madison Square Garden and become ranked #2 in the nation by USA Boxing. She also participated extensively in volunteer work at a community gym, coaching troubled youth and teaching them the virtues of boxing to keep them off the streets.

    Castronuova has trained extensively in martial arts and other fighting techniques, which led to acting opportunities as well, primarily as a stuntwoman and stunt coordinator.  Castronuova combined her fighting and training background to start her company, “Fighter Fitness”, whose mission is to help people find "their fighter within" and make their own “comebacks” on the road to good health.
   
       Most recently, Castrounova has started “Knockout Obesity”, a charity aimed to help youth who struggle with obesity and need help in obtaining a healthy lifestyle.  This past summer the charity sent three children for a fun-filled summer at a premier weight loss camp, where they lost a grand total of over 100 pounds!    Castronuova’s “Knockout Obesity” will continue to grant scholarships to need-based children to send them to existing weight loss camps and giving them local gym memberships. Castronuova’s charity looks to create its own non-for-profit summer camp program for need-based youth as a goal in the five-year plan of the charity, as well as create community fitness programs for kids.
   
       Castronuova just launched her new fitness, empowerment, and motivation website www.U-Improved.com to spread the word of the power of the mind when it comes to fitness. She is also thrilled to announced her new sleep-away weight loss Summer Camp program for kids in Summer 2014. The camp will be called “Camp Kid Warrior”, and will focus on weight loss and the related components of mental strength, body image, and confidence building. See www.caracastronuova.com for future announcements regarding the camp. Cara’s mission is to make fitness “magic” for kids, and make sure they have the time of their life.
