Marithza Maravilla: Studio Fit Chicago's August Star
At Studio Fit Chicago, we celebrate women who show up, put in the work, and inspire others through consistency and heart. This August, we’re thrilled to spotlight Marithza Maravilla (known as Mari), whose infectious energy, genuine love for the process, and remarkable strength gains make her an absolute joy to have in our SFC community.

Mari's Chicago Favorites
When she’s not crushing workouts in the studio, Mari has some fantastic Chicago recommendations to share. While she doesn’t have a current favorite bar, she’s passionate about coffee and matcha—so much so that she enthusiastically recommends stopping by Cafe Deko for some serious caffeine fuel. And when it’s time for something sweet? Roeser’s Bakery is her go-to spot for delicious pastries that taste like pure happiness.
The Studio Fit Experience Through Mari's Eyes
Mari is a passionate advocate for the life-changing benefits of our community. Her reason for encouraging other ladies to join SFC is powerful and personal:
“To boost your confidence and improve your mental health!”
This perfectly captures what Studio Fit Chicago is all about—we’re not just here to build physical strength, we’re here to build the kind of confidence that transforms how you see yourself and how you move through the world. Mental health matters, and Mari knows firsthand how powerful the combination of physical training and supportive community can be.
For Mari, joining Studio Fit Boss Year has delivered concrete, measurable results that she can feel and celebrate every single day. Her favorite outcomes? “I can finally do a deep squat!!! My planks are now longer than 5 seconds.” These might seem like specific achievements, but they represent so much more—increased leg strength, improved core stability, better form, and the confidence that comes with knowing you’re getting stronger. Mari’s achievements are a beautiful reminder that fitness progress isn’t always about the scale. It’s about the things you couldn’t do before that you can do now. It’s about the personal victories that make you proud. That’s what keeps you coming back for more.
What’s on Mari’s Playlist?
Mari’s music taste is wonderfully flexible: “I tend to listen to any kind of music, but I’m currently really into Olivia Dean!” There’s something special about finding an artist whose vibe just resonates with you. Whether it’s the smooth, soulful sounds of Olivia Dean or whatever mood she’s in, Mari knows that the right music can elevate any workout.
Mari, your positive energy, your commitment to your goals, and your openness about prioritizing mental health are truly inspiring. You’ve shown our community that fitness is about so much more than physical results—it’s about building confidence, supporting your mental wellness, and discovering what your body is capable of achieving. Thank you for bringing such joy and authenticity to Studio Fit Chicago!

Symptoms of Perimenopause?
We’re Here to Help!
Perimenopause is simply a natural transition in a woman’s life, yet let’s be honest; when hormones start doing the tango, it can feel anything but “simple.” That’s where supportive fitness and nutrition can make all the difference. At Studio Fit Chicago, we help you adapt to these changes so you can keep conquering your day without missing a beat (or a squat).
Nutritional GUidance and Support for Holistic Health
Exercise is important, but it’s only part of the picture. Every woman’s body is different, and so are her nutrition needs. Boost energy, lose fat, build strength, or just feel more in control of your health, we got you. A strong semi-private training program goes beyond workouts. It should include a look at your current eating habits, with practical guidance around nutrient timing, and balanced meal.
