Cara Castronuova

Cara Castronuova is a television celebrity, and fitness expert. She is a former professional boxer. She is currently a trainer on the U.S. Television show The Biggest Loser.

Born and raised in New York, Cara began boxing as a 5-year-old and eventually ended up ranked, at one point, as the No. 2 female boxer in the nation by USA Boxing.

Cara has seen first hand struggles with obesity, as her father was obese, and died when she was a teenager. With her mother gone too (she died in a car accident four years ago), Cara also takes care of an aunt who is obese, and her little brothers.

“Boxing competitively taught me how important it is to never give up, no matter how hard it gets,” she said in a release.

With her boxing background and accolades including two Golden Gloves titles, she hopes to help “The Biggest Loser” contenders find “their warrior within.”
