Manal Hakim

Hello!

My name is Manal Hakim and I'm a 37-year-old living in the Washington, D.C. area. I have been a "gym rat" for over 20 years.  I recently wanted to push myself further in my fitness journey so I decided to become a group fitness instructor.  I started with a certificate in Les Mills Core, which is a 30-minute class where we work our abs, glutes, and back. I then decided I wanted to use my creativity and design my own group fitness class.  I received a Group Fitness Instructor Certification through American Counselor on Exercise (ACE) and created a class called Muscle Mix.  It's a 30-minute full-body barbell class. My Les Mills Core class has now turned into Ab Lab, which my participants seem to really enjoy.

I love teaching, leading, and inspiring others. I have a public Instagram page @fitmom.manal where I post fitness content and connect with like-minded people from around the world. I love both fitness and traveling. I'm excited about the idea of combining the two and experiencing something new!
