Getting back in shape isn’t just about lifting weights—it’s about lifting yourself out of old routines and into a stronger, more confident version of you.
Today, we’re spotlighting a Reverb member who did just that.
From feeling stuck in a solo gym grind to gaining back muscle, motivation, and confidence, Maribel’s story is proof that structure, support, and a strong community make all the difference.
Let’s hear it from her.
What were you doing for fitness before Reverb?
After starting college I wasn’t doing anything besides going to the school gym myself, which I didn’t like. I need structure and other people around for motivation; I felt like I was spending time working out and not seeing results.
What was the problem you wanted to solve that made you want to join Reverb?
I wanted to get back into shape. As a high school athlete I was fit, toned, and looking how I wanted. Going to college got me out of shape, so I wanted to get back to that.
What kind of changes have you seen?
I’ve been coming 6 months and I’ve gained back a lot of muscle. I feel better, look better, and have lost some body fat.
How else has it impacted your personal life?
I feel more in shape. It has affected my confidence by getting back to the way I want to look and getting stronger.
How did the recent Reverb Nutrition Challenge help?
The nutrition challenge kept me accountable because we had the community group chat where we could see examples of what everyone was eating. The group chat made me more mindful of what I was eating each day.
Everyone was doing the same challenge and we were helping each other by sharing recipes and encouraging each other.
What would you tell someone interested but scared to get started?
Go for it. The thing that drew me in the most was the community, especially the community we have here. Everyone is welcoming and says hi to you when you walk in. After workouts everyone says good job you did great.
