ABOUT ME

What I do

As a health educator and fitness expert, my goal is to combine my love for fitness and education to help you live a better and healthier life. I strongly believe that education is the key to succeeding at anything you set your mind to. So making sure that you understand the WHY is at the core of everything I do.

Although I specialize in helping women understand the role that fitness has in menopause, I love sharing education that goes beyond the topic of menopause.

Training & Events

I specialize in helping women in mid-life take charge of their own wellness as they transition through menopause.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge at conventions, learning events, and other group workshops. If you’re interested in hosting a workshop or learning opportunity for a group about the topic of menopause, and are in need of a speaker or a consultant, contact me to find out more about how I can help.

Talk about a lifechanging meeting! I met Dr. Luque 12 years ago through a work get-fit function and it was the best... thing ever! If you’re like me, in order to get motivated and stay motivated, you have to really want to show up. Dr. Luque makes you want to do just that. Her knowledge on fitness, exercise and fun keeps you engaged and determined to keep coming back! I have lost weight, gained muscles and a great friend in Maria. BEST TRAINER EVER!read more

Maria is simply THE BEST!!!! I was lucky enough to stumble upon her at a time in my life when I never thought having a... personal trainer was for me. I’d always been a fitness class at the gym kind of person. On a whim I tried her out and quickly realized what I’d been missing. The personal attention to my body, goals, and moment in life has proven essential. She’s helped me navigate getting in the best shape of my life, pregnancy, just doing the minimum for health and sanity as I balanced life, and recently getting back into shape at a social distance. Her passion for fitness meets you where you are and keeps it EXCITING AND FUN! I hated lifting weights until I met Maria.read more

Watch out! You think you're just having a good time and feeding off Maria's boundless energy and hilarious sense of... humor and then all of a sudden you realize you've finished a challenging full body workout that met you exactly where you are. She's tricky like that, which is why she's the best. I just can't recommend Maria enough.read more

I've been working out with Maria for over 10 years and she's seen me through pre, peri, and post menopause. I look... better and feel better than when I started. I still do biweekly workouts with her and I ain't never going back. She keeps me fit and sane. Maria is the best.read more

After 10+ years working out my body and psyche with Maria, I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that she wakes up in the... middle of the night just to dream up something unexpected and exciting to spring on her clients Thus, I have never been bored, always been inspired and never felt alone during my transition to menopause. If you’re over empty promises of eternal youth and suspect that radically fit aging might be more interesting, you’re correct! Reach out to Maria. You won’t be sorry.read more

Dr. Maria saw me through over a decade of perimeno and I didn't kill a soul! I'm not sure what the body count would've ... been w/o Maria's expertise, love and care. Post-memo, I still count on weekly workouts with Maria to keep my body and soul strong and healthy. Believe me - you're welcome world! Dr. Maria is the best! <3read more

Without a doubt, Dr. Maria Luque is one of the professionals I trust the most when it comes to my health and wellness. ... Two years ago as a mom to a then 18-month baby, I was suffering with a lot a back pain that was making mothering and lifting my baby almost impossible. After months of physical therapy, my physical therapist basically shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know why I wasn't getting better. I knew I needed something different, and after a good amount of research, I found Dr. Maria. Within a month, my back pain was gone, and I can say that after 2 years of working 2-3 times a week with Dr. Maria, I am stronger now at 42 years old than I've ever been in my life, and I no longer have ongoing pain. Dr. Maria is one of those rare health and fitness professionals that combines extensive education with care, kindness and respect for what a woman needs as they get older. I trust her completely and know that she has my best health in mind each and every time we meet.read more

Although Dr. Luque can’t squeeze your muscles for you, she can help you with just about everything else. Maria meets... you where you are to design the right program for your body and inspires you to keep it together (i.e. be health-conscious) both inside and outside the gym. I hadn’t been inside a gym in years, and now I never want to miss a session - plus I’m looking pretty HOT these days thanks to Dr M!read more

Dr. Maria is a steward of information EVERY WOMAN should know about and learn. You are never too young....or old to... understand your body and learn positive and empowering ways of staying strong, mentally and physically, through all stages of life. Not only is this stuff vitally important, Dr. Maria makes it fun and enjoyable. Just try not to laugh when you are around her!read more

I lived in Austin 2010-2011 and among the highlights (after Barton Springs and The Broken Spoke and street tacos) was... working out with Maria. I had never engaged with a boutique kind of gym or work out before. In Maria’s classes I learned, I got strong, and I had a blast with other students. Dr. Luque is smart, always stretching, and incredibly kind and playful.read more

I’ve been a client of Maria Luque for at least a decade before menopause was on my horizon. I’m now post menopausal... and I continue to see her three times per week. There is no doubt that I have dodged the worst of “it” because of Dr. Luque. Fitness through menopause is key.read more
