Fitness Model, Personal Trainer

Born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, Maria Cecelia Villalba is a fitness model and personal trainer. She became unhappy with her appearance at the age of 20, in 2011, and began training in the gym; embarking on her fitness journey as a result.

For the next 5 years, Maria worked rigorously to sculpt her dream figure. She followed a well-planned diet, and had managed to attain her trademark glutes and legs.

During this period, she started posting pictures and videos of her fitness lifestyle on Instagram. It wasn’t long until she’s attracted masses of followers – fans from around the world were fascinated by her incredible figure, and began asking Maria how she’d achieved her physique.

This motivated her to help others reach their goals; for this reason, Maria studied towards earning a personal training qualification – and by 25th June 2016, at the age of 25, the Venezuelan had become a qualified fitness coach.

As a result, Maria created a website and started offering her services – determined to guide others to fitness success.
