Maricris Lapaix
At a young age, Maricris naturally gravitated to sports, and enjoyed the process of improving her skills that gave her the competitive edge to compete at the high level of competition she craved, especially with her favorite sport – volleyball. As a result of her determination to be the best athlete she could, she simultaneously improved her mental and physical health. Her gratitude for her mental and physical growth during her athletic years are what inspired her to become a fitness professional. It is also what influences her body of work as personal trainer and wellness coach.
Maricris’ coaching style is best described as experiential fitness. Looking back at her most influential athletic years, she recognized that her movement programs were never about aesthetics, but the ability to MOVE & PLAY. Maricris believes that when your goal is to find joy in your movement, the commitment and results will naturally come.
Maricris’ unique take on fitness has inspired her brand Move with Maricris, and led to her being a contributor for major health and wellness brands such as Women’s Health, Self Magazine, Nike Training Club, Re-Spin by Halle Berry, and NASM.
Her most recent fitness venture is with Chris Hemsworth‘s training app – Centr.
