Mala Ocean Tavern FEATURED ON "MOVE WITH MARICRIS!" TRAVEL VLOG!

Maricris Lapaix is a fitness entrepreneur, trainer & traveler. She believes movement is the catalyst to living a life rich in experiences. Through her work as a trainer, and travel experiences she has received inspiration for her show, Move with Maricris. Her mission is to inspire others to move to be "Strong in Life," and to enjoy all that life has to offer. As she travels to beautiful destinations, her ultimate goal is to immerse herself in different cultures through movement, food and active experiences.

By immersing herself in different cultures, Maricris wants to shift the mindset of one's fitness journey. It is not about aesthetics, but the gifts that the commitment to health provides – time with loved ones, and a strong and able body ready for action and anything desired. Travel is what opens our minds and hearts to the beauty that surrounds us. It is a reminder that there is an entire world out there full of beautiful cultures, food, and experiences. A reminder that happiness comes in many forms. Movement and travel reignite a passion for life, and all that is possible within our individual lifetime. These experiences serve as life’s checks and balances to remind us what truly matters in this lifetime.
