Maura Harris is a Certified Group Fitness Instructor and former professional dancer. Originally from California, Maura started dancing at age 5 and moved to New York after receiving undergraduate degrees in dance and in sociology. Once in New York, Maura spent a year working in dance therapy, assisting movement classes for people living with movement disabilities. Soon after, Maura found her passion for health care and transitioned her career to public health. She received her Master of Public Health in health policy this spring and now works in policy and advocacy for a nonprofit, but has never lost her passion for fitness. Maura's fitness philosophy is grounded in equity and empowerment. She believes fitness should act as a tool for personal growth, ambition, and self-actualization. And because she has a deep understanding of the power of health and wellness to transform lives, she is committed to making fitness inclusive and accessible for all.
