About Mariko Martin

Hello! My name is Mariko Martin. My passion has been helping others physically and mentally for a long time, as staying healthy and strong is an important part of my life. I want to help people feel confident and good about themselves by improving their physical fitness.

My passion for fitness started when I was in college as an undergraduate student. I lived on campus, gained the “freshmen 15”, and had no access to a vehicle. Campus recreation was the only entertainment and place to hang out with my friends. Because I was taking so many group fitness classes, the head of fitness program decided to hire me as a student instructor. Although English was my second language, I studied really hard to get certified as an instructor. I loved the energy of students during the classes, and I loved to educate them on health and fitness. But most of all, I became free from the stigma of the chubby girl, which I had since I was a kid. I felt so much better about myself.

Throughout my undergraduate and graduate years, I had been a part of campus recreation while I learned about counseling to become a school counselor. Even after I became a high school counselor, I continued to teach group fitness classes.

Helping people feel good about themselves and providing fun workouts has always been a part of my life. I taught classes and trained clients in North Carolina, Hawaii, Japan, California, and Virginia. No matter how many jobs I had, I found a chance to be a part of the fitness world.

The first time I discovered Fit Body Boot Camp was when I moved to San Diego because of my husband’s military duty. I was still not in the best shape six months after delivering my first son. But observing, learning, and shadowing the FBBC workouts guided me to getting in better shape quickly. My body composition improved, and became better than even before pregnancy. I was even lifting heavier than ever before in my fitness journey. I even used similar workouts for the active duty servicemen on base as a part of the one-on-one training (they loved and hated the workouts at the same time). From that experience, I continued to use FBBC style workouts for myself throughout my second pregnancy. I decided to reach out to more people with this great fitness program because I am a strong believer in this unstoppable formula.
