About Us

Who Are We?

It would be hard to say that we are just one thing. We are former teammates, training partners, each others therapists and much much more. Most importantly, we are very close friends who have one goal, use the knowledge we have about fitness to help others.

We are track and field athletes who share a total of sixteen years experience combined. We have both competed for our native countries (Maya runs for Canada, Pariis runs for Puerto Rico) at various international meets, and have gained a well of knowledge over the years.

The idea for FitCurls came from the fact that many people would turn to us for tips and advice not only about experience as athletes, but how we manage our busy, athletic lifestyles with naturally curly hair. One day we realized that instead of constantly repeating ourselves, we could develop a place where people could turn to in order to get this information. 

Our Mission

Our goal is to provide everyone with the information that they need to live a healthy, active lifestyle and ENJOY it. Just like how everyone's curls are different, so is everyone's experience with fitness and exercise. We want to build a bridge between people who want to be fit and other athletes to provide a place for everyone to turn. Whether it is for different workouts, recipes or even tips for curly hair, we want to be a resource for you all!

Just like the natural hair movement, fitness and overall health is about empowerments and loving yourself. Exercise has the ability to build your confidence, help you embrace your true self and uncover the vast potential you have within you! You'd be surprised how much your body can really do, and we want to show you how health and fitness can help you uncover that.

The most important message that we want to send to everyone is self love. Loving your body, loving your hair, loving who you may be are all messages that we want to share with you all. What we want to show you is that we are in control of who we are and who we want to become. And we have the power to change who we are at any given moment!

So stay tuned and let us know what you think!
