After a career in dance and creative production, Maria Cullimore founded Fuelled Fitness Coach, helping women build confidence, move well and develop healthier relationships with fitness and nutrition.
Maria’s passion for movement began through dance. After training as a dancer, she discovered that teaching brought just as much fulfilment as performing, particularly seeing the positive impact movement could have on young people beyond the studio.
As her career progressed, Maria went on to lead creative projects with children, young people and individuals living with dementia. Although she enjoyed the strategic side of the work, spending more time behind a desk made her realise she wanted to be back on her feet, working directly with people and helping them create meaningful change in their everyday lives.
When Maria decided to become a Personal Trainer, she wanted a training provider that combined flexibility with practical, hands-on learning. After researching her options and speaking to industry professionals, she chose Future Fit’s Level 5 Advanced Personal Training & Nutrition Course, attracted by its strong blend of theory, workshops and real-world application.
Alongside her core qualification, Maria completed a range of class-based disciplines early in her training, including kettlebells and indoor cycling. Teaching classes from the outset gave her valuable experience on the gym floor, helping her build confidence, expand her skillset and quickly translate her learning into professional practice.
Today, Maria runs Fuelled Fitness Coach, a business built around helping people feel stronger, healthier and more capable in their bodies. Her particular passion lies in supporting women to navigate fitness and nutrition with confidence, challenging unhelpful myths and creating sustainable habits that work through every stage of life.
Committed to continual development, Maria has expanded her expertise with pre and postnatal qualifications and plans to further her study in women’s health and performance. Looking ahead, she hopes to grow her online coaching offering while contributing to evidence-based conversations that help improve understanding of women’s health across the fitness industry.
