August 11-18, 2024, I taught yoga here. It is a wonderful resort. It has absolutely the most magnificent beach and ocean of all the Fitbodies resorts I've ever been to - and this was trip 23! Classes were held at 8 am on a circular grassy area in the center of the resort and at 9:30 am at the gazebo near the pool. Had a wonderful time with my cousin. The rooms are big...we upgraded to have a swim out pool room bc I had never done that...it was nice but the beach is so fabulous, I wanted to be on the beach! The rooms were the same even though we upgraded and were preferred with the swim out. It was fun with the swim out. Take the electrolyte powder packets for your water - it made a huge difference!

I taught yoga at 8 AM in a shady grassy area using mats. At 9 AM I taught a stretching class in a gazebo by a pool. Often a staff member would attend the stretching class. Loved our big room and we got a king bed as requested. Excellent food and service everywhere on the resort. This resort has an excellent beach and we enjoyed playing in the waves.

Resort was amazing, excellent service in all aspects. I didn't mind setting up for my class by myself. I definitely enjoyed having morning only classes.

It was wonderful as always! The room was beautiful and the food and service were exceptional. As the guest instructors, we are expected to handle yoga mats and towels.

My booking experience was a breeze! The hotel staff and entertainment team are top notch at Secrets Maroma Beach! The entire staff is truly dedicated to making each person's experience a five star one! I used my Iphone and personal bluetooth speaker. I taught Aqua Zumba, and Pilates in the grassy garden area and gazebo.

Excellent resort. Amazing entertainment team! Hector (my pt of contact for the entertainment team) wasn't the most communicative, but he was receptive whenever I reached out. And the team was amazing!!! They were so supportive and energetic. I took their classes and they took mine, so I never had a cancel a class. I taught CIRCL Mobility (Zumba's new yoga-like format) at 8am (which was always well attended) and pilates at 9:30 (which was hit or miss). The resort itself if lovely-- one of my faves so far!

Everyone working for the resort was great. i never met the head activities guy Alejandro(alex) but I met most of the team. This was my 9th Fit bodies Teaching Vacation and it was great! I love the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and share my passion for yoga and pilates with them. I taught every class, at 8 yoga and 9:30am pilates. The yoga area is not ideal as it gets hot with almost full sun and mosquitos came out and attacked! The beach would be ideal if they could provide some shade. My husband loves being the plus 1! The staff at Secrets Maroma take great care of their guests! I had coffee and light breakfast arrive to the room at 7 each day so i could be ready to teach at 8. We received a double bed, tropical view and no king room was available and no swim outs were available for upgrade. The room we had was quiet and comfortable and did the job! This was my second visit to Secrets Maroma. It is a special resort! Thank you Fit bodies team!

I taught yoga at the outdoor courtyard and gazebo by the pool. The resort staff was exemplary - super friendly, professional and helpful. Made the experience smooth and enjoyable. My first teaching experience with Fit Bodies was excellent. The process was extremely smooth and the resort teaching was fun and easy to accomplish. Couldn't have been better!

Teaching vacation was great...awesome to provide yoga and a vacation for myself at the same time. Love the resorts with back to back morning classes. Once an Entertainment was called and asked to meet me in the Lobby he was able to show me where my classes would be held and also gave me a quick tour of the resort. Very helpful.

This resort seems extremely well organized. My only complaint was that they did not change the name on the digital class listing and it reflected a prior teachers name all week. Great trip, no complaints whatsoever! Everything went smoothly. This is a great resort and getting into and out of Mexico is a breeze. I taught yoga and aqua programming and took my own bluetooth speaker.

Check in was smooth, and Andrea from entertaining team welcome me, and gave me a tour so I could get to know the location of the classes. This was great. Be sure to use bug spray before class and take some to class for guests to use.

Secrets Maroma has the best entertainment team and is the reason we keep going back there! Thanks for all the amazing opportunities! The e-team and entire staff is the best! This is our favorite resort! I taught STRONG Nation - 30 minute class. Taking my own bluetooth speaker felt best.

They were working hard and had a lots of activities program going on, doing great ! Which has someone can do Zumba or dance for ladies customers! A lots of volleyball basketball ping bang , badminton and balls. I will trying get Zumba certification next! I love fit bodies, because I love workout, love eating a lot of food and making people happy , special in that gorgeous environment, so I get them all! Very appreciate Fitbodies! When the airfare is going clam down, I will book more! This resort is huge and gorgeous! No complain, just hope they can helping me promote strong nation and I really worked hard to do so! 8:00 yoga class no staff come to helping me prepare mats towels and I did by myself, only one day girl staff helped me, really appreciate, because I don’t know where I can get towels! Otherwise no problem to do by myself ! Taught yoga and STRONG by Zumba in the garden, sports bar, or gazebo. Used my own bluetooth speaker.

I used my iPhone and personal bluetooth speaker for music while teaching yoga, Zumba, and Aqua Zumba. I love how the E-Team works to communicate the classes to guests and helps me invite as many as possible to join in. Entertainment team was very interested, engaging, helpful, and the most friendly I've encountered. Excellent resort, wonderful Entertainment team. Loved teaching yoga in the Chinese garden. Easy transfer from airport. Spring break time so airports were busy.

I used my iPhone for music with group fitness and pilates class. As always, excellent. This is an excellent resort, has been for years, and definitely still is a spectacular operation. Teaching is always a delight as is being a guest, the dinners, the shows, the daytime fun and relaxation. I will certainly book again. Thanks Suzelle and your team.

Yoga, Group Fitness Yoga in the grass/garden, bootcamp in the gazebo by pool yoga mats and towels. I used my iphone and a bluetooth speaker for music. The Entertainment team walked around and invited guests to join, and class was also promoted on the Smart TV. The love this resort! Spending quality time with my companion/family, and the pools are great, too.I really enjoyed my teaching vacation and the staff that supported me. It was an awesome first experience. Andrea was the best! However, I was frustrated some days the schedule was incorrect and they would be 10-15 minutes late to bringing the yoga mats, towels, and speaker. Sometimes I never had a speaker after requesting it. My first teaching vacation with Fit Bodies was amazing! My fiance and I were celebrating our recent engagement and we had the best time getting away to Secrets Maroma Beach! This was our first time at a luxury adults only resort, and we loved it. I didn't feel like I was overwhelmed with classes or responsibilities. I taught yoga at 8am and Bootcamp at 9:30am. I taught all classes but Monday and Saturday Bootcamp (no takers). Outside of teaching, we had a ton of fun relaxing by the pool, walking on the ocean, and eating lots of delicious food! We left the resort one day to go golfing. We were so impressed by the attentive and helpful staff, and the dinners were amazing! I was worried about COVID restrictions and testing but everything went smoothly. We will definitely be back on another teaching vacation.

I bring my own bluetooth speaker. class is poolside gazebo. they have towels, mats, bottles of water, towels, steps. Class was promoted in number of locations but I enjoy introducing myself to guests, too, and telling them a little about class. This is the most amazing way for group fitness instructors to travel in my opinion. Definitely will book again, within the year.

This was one of my best trips so far! The entertainment team were amazing so anxious to learn and they attended my classes. I had the opportunity to work with them on their water spinning classes and I led aqua in the ocean. So much fun

I taught Pilates and strength class the ET brings mats for both but no equipment is needed. Using your own body strength and stretching, I have taught at this resort 4 times and always have a good turn out for am class but never for 4pm. I wish they would utilize the instructor more by having a back to back class in the am. Or even a beach walk instead on the beach is so beautiful this would be something people might enjoy. they have a 8am yoga which is well attended but some expressed that was too early for most. It would be great to offer another time in am for yoga in the garden. i will teach here again no matter i love the ET they really are energetic and do a great job.

Secrets Maroma was outstanding! The beach here is just wonderful! Soft sand that stretches on and on. No seaweed issues. The staff is very activity driven—lots of games were available at the pool and on the beach,plus they were super helpful. They insisted on getting the mats, waters and towels for each class. I taught 10am Cardio HIIT and 4pm stretch. It was a majority 55+ crowd the week I was there. HIIT classes were small 2-4 people and Stretch was 5-7 attendees. Food, entertainment, service all excellent!! Oct. 2019

First class of the day (Strong30) scheduled for 10am which falls directly after in house instructors’ Crossfit at 9am preceded by yoga at 8am. The only morning classes I taught were to one E-team member each time; once in the Strong30 format and once in the Zumba Fitness format.

You need to keep an eye on the E-Pad in the room so you know what you are expected to teach. Each 10am class varied according the formats offered.

They have the aqua activities at midday every day so my Spin Instructor husband taught Aqua Spin and I took over the Aqua Fitness. 

First day there was nobody; second day was one and busiest day had 4. E-team occasionally joined in to ensure something was seen to be happening in the hope others would join. Nobody for stretch on the last day when it was outside Gazebo in beautiful blazing sunshine.

Gazebo is good size for a small class but no longer has the wafty curtains pictured which are installed only for weddings. There is a plug socket on the gazebo for mains powered devices.

The resort itself is the best I have visited and other places include: Breathless Riviera Cancun, Now & Breathless Dominican Republic, Secrets Riviera Capri, Sandals Barbados.

Secrets Maroma was a gorgeous resort to visit and I loved the outdoor gazebo to teach under. My classes were taught at 10 am and 4 pm. This made it hard to really relax on my working vacation, since there was a pause in between the 2 class times. The staff was very accommodating though and set up and helped break down every class. Since it was at the gazebo I never had any equipment since the gym was so far away. Every day the resort has a 8 am yoga and 9 am Crossfit that they host themselves. I would definitely return, I just wish they would change the class times so that they're back to back. Secrets Maroma won't disappoint!
