Anjua Maximo

Anjua Maximo fell in love with pole dance and sensual movement 10 years ago in Los Angeles. She became a certified through Sheila Kelly's S Factor and went on to be one of their lead instructors. 

Always a lover of dance and movement, Anjua wanted to enhance her knowledge of the body and how to strengthen and protect her students effectively which lead her to receive her classical Pilates certification through Carrie Macy, national training manager for Equinox. She went on to teach private and group classes for several years. In 2014, Anjua and her husband, a boot camp and cycle instructor, decided to pursue their dreams to open their own boutique fitness studio in Cleveland called GrooveRyde. Specializing in cycle, boxing, HIIT, pole and sensual dance and Buti Yoga, Anjua and her husband have turned GrooveRyde into Cleveland’s premier boutique fitness studio. 

In the fall of 2015 another yoga instructor introduced Anjua to Buti Yoga and it was love at first hip shimmy. A combination of traditional yoga asanas, tribal dance and HIIT, Buti Yoga is quickly becoming a favorite amongst women for it's body positive emphasis and soul stirring, dynamic work out. Anjua became certified in Buti Yoga in July of 2016 and will become a certified RYT 200 certified yoga teacher in July.

Empowering and inspiring people is what Anjua does best. Her fun, high-energy classes, edgy style and warm demeanor are what her students say they love about her most. She considers every opportunity she gets to teach someone the power of movement an honor.
