Maria joined the Fit4Mom Peninsula team in Summer 2023. After moving from Germany to San Carlos in 2022 with her husband and her two daughters, she soon realized that meeting other moms and working out was crucial to her happiness. So when she saw a group of moms working out in Burton Park, she knew that she wanted to be part of this community.

Growing up Maria enjoyed various kinds of sports such as running, hiking, jumping fitness and yoga. She is also very passionate about coaching and a healthy lifestyle. As a mother of two daughters, exercise for her is crucial for her mental and physical wellbeing.

Maria has a BA in International Business and worked in Human Resources. Currently, she is pursuing a coaching education with the International Coaching Academy.

Maria participates in almost every Body Boost class and coaches Body Boost whenever she is needed. She also enjoys teaching Stroller Strides. For her the best part of being an instructor is the ability to give other moms this "after workout feeling" and helping them build new connections.
