Maria Bird

Hey! I’m Maria, a personal trainer who also happens to live with lupus. I know what it’s like to deal with fatigue, flare-ups, and feeling like your body isn’t always on your side. But despite it all, I’ve dabbled in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, telemark skiing, bodybuilding, and even ran a few half marathons. Movement has always been my way of reclaiming strength and feeling alive—and now I help others do the same. I’m all about realistic, flexible fitness that fits into real life—especially when you're managing chronic illness or just trying to feel better in your body. Whether you're starting from scratch, coming back after a break, or figuring out how to move in a way that actually feels good, I’m here to help you build strength, boost energy, and find your groove—without the pressure or burnout. Let’s take it one step at a time and make fitness something that works for you.
