Maribel was born in California to a multicultural family. She has always been fascinated by learning about different cultures and languages; this lead her to study International Business Management in University.

Since 2013 she has been on a journey to become more active, she first began by setting a goal of reaching 10,000 steps a day. Then in 2014 while living in Costa Rica, she began to run and do dance fitness with routines she found online.

In the summer of 2015 she was invited to try a BollyX class at her local gym, she enjoyed it so much that she continued attending classes 4 times a week. In 2019, she believed in herself -thanks to her instructors and mentors Tamara K., Raka A. and Sophie A., she decided she wanted to become a BollyX Low Impact instructor; achieving her Certification that year in March. A few months after, she launched her first in person class at her local gym.

In 2020, she took her classes online. Teaching solo on Tuesdays and co-teaching with friend and fellow instructor Miyuki, they both have built a strong community that enjoys BollyXing together and also have become close friends. Their motto is all about empowering others while having fun!

Maribel has always been passionate about dance, she believes that dancing is about feeling the beats and rhythm with your body, mind and soul.

She loves that BollyX Fitness allows her to dance and unleash her inner rockstar. When asked what she likes about BollyX Fitness, she will say:

- Inclusion: It is inclusive for everyBODY!

- Empowerment: Instructors and the community as a whole empower each other in countless ways.

- Supportive: The BollyX community is unique, from class participants to instructors to the company itself in both class settings and in your personal life.
