Maria came to our Crossfit gym this past Saturday. She presented her lecture on diet, fasting and exercise. She was very knowledgeable and was able to provide me with invaluable information to how to best fine tune my daily routine on diet and intermittent fasting. I would highly recommend her to anyone that wants to improve their health and lifestyle.

Attended a class this morning provided by Maria on Fasting and CrossFit, and there was so much that she patiently and clearly explained, it was definitely well received and worth it!!

I worked with Mind 2 Body over the course of several months. I learned a great deal of things I didn't know in regards to nutrition, diet, training, and rest. This has taken my performance in obstacle racing to a whole other level and I'm very grateful for their accountability as well. The training regimen builds upon itself week after week and after months the results are exceptional. They go above and beyond to make sure you get the results you're looking for!

This was my first time doing anything like this before. It was hard and sometimes easy but it was an amazing experience and I learned so much about my body. Mind2body knows what they are doing and they helped me discover new ways to make this a lifestyle and not a diet.

I truly didn’t know how valuable a solid meal plan backed by my specific needs could be until I partnered with Mind2Body. These ladies know what’s up! They use the raw science, but also get to know your personal physical needs to get you into great shape. They also help with your mindset to make it habitual and an part of your ongoing life. Thank you so much!

I had a great journey with Mind2Body and was able to get to my weight goal within 7 months. It’s a great program lots of tips given, but if someone doesn’t have a good relationship with food and the scale this will not be for you. The meal plans I didn’t use (probably 1-2 recipes), I am not a picky eater, but I don’t enjoy eating the same meals 3+ days a week for multiple weeks, they were too repetitive and didn’t spark joy ☹ 1 needed to learn long term how to modify my own recipes that my family and I enjoy for this journey to be sustainable. I was looking for a long-term solution. I completed the program satisfy with the tips, lessons, and knowledge Luzmar provided so I can continue this healthy eating journey for the long haul.

Mind2Body is an incredible company, run by incredible women, and I have quickly realized that what they do is essential to my health. I thought I was a fairly healthy eater, but the difference I feel in energy and wellness when I am eating the delicious food cooked by Mind2Body is really amazing, totally unexpected, and a huge benefit. The food is very tasty, healthy, and filling, and I look forward to every meal. I never really loved lunch, but the lunches are amazing! And each breakfast is delicious and starts your day with a high protein and delicious energy boost. And I am totally losing weight with the weekly meals from Mind2Body! THANK YOU, Luzmar and Mind2Body - I feel like this will be my year to get really healthy, and I wouldn't be able to do it without you guys!

By far the best decision I’ve ever made! They’re so knowledgeable about nutrition and making sure that your body is getting exactly what it needs. No matter what your personal goals are, they have nutrition plans to guide you every step of the way. From grocery store lists to personal workout routines to even building the right mind set, the ladies at Mind2body are there for you! What I love the most is that it is educating me on building a better relationship with food!

One of the hardest part on a weight loss goal or transformation goal is not to know what to eat in order to accomplish that goal.But once you decide to jump on board with Mind2body, they will do the job for you and help you to achieve your transformation goal.Recommended 200% give a try, is the only way to find out if it works !

A couple months back, I was on the search for a personal trainer since I was feeling like I wasn’t the best version of myself. Then and there I met Luzmar through a friend and i instantly knew her and her team were hard working real people. Luzmar and Maria are probably the best and most genuine personal trainer and nutritionist you’ll ever have. They really push you knowing how far you can go (not to mention how they personalize each and every one of their client’s workout and meal plans to their desired goals). Take it from me and signing up with them, your physical and mental health will both change for the best. I couldn’t have have gone this far with my body goal process without them

My journey with Mind2Body has been amazing. Their nutritional program is exceptional. I lost weight and kept it off. They have variety of delicious recipes, and I’m a very picky eater. I would recommend them to anyone that is trying to make a healthier lifestyle change.

Luzmar is amazing!! I have tried so many nutrition companies and never followed through because I wasn’t motivated. She checks up on me constantly and makes sure I’m feeling good and motivated throughout the nutrition changes. I have truly changed not only physically but mentally.. I have a new lifestyle thanks to their amazing program. Andddd as a plus the meals are DELICIOUS!! 🤤

Mind2Body is an amazing team of professionals with the best food in Miami. The food is exciting and the most important part, the taste is exceptional. I was lucky to have been one of the first to experience their food and I am still a customer! I don’t feel the need to experiment with others out there because Mind2Body is a lifestyle and that’s something that these ladies truly embody and I value that type of passion. These girlies treat me like family and take care of dietary needs and exceptions and that makes me super happy. If you are looking to change your lifestyle, look no further because this is your one stop shop for all your healthy lifestyle needs.

Working with Luzmar in my health & fitness journey has been the absolute BEST! She is so knowledgeable. She has helped me to learn so much about my body & how I can keep this healthy lifestyle up for life. For the first time in 16 years I was able to wear a bikini to the beach! That was all thanks to Mind 2 Body ❤️

It's no exaggeration when I say Mind2Body and Luz actually changed my life. I was living an extremely unhealthy lifestyle before I tried the nutrition challenge, and then doing another month of one-on-one consultation. I've started eating healthier foods without starving myself, exercise regularly, and have lost nearly 15 pounds in the process. I would definitely recommend Luz and Maria's services. They're the best!

I had the honor to have Maria as my coach. She is hands down best coach i have ever worked with. She is patient, understanding and kind. I learned lot about myself with Maria, she also helped me build up my confidence and learn about letting go of negative thoughts and how positive thinking brings positive results. I lost the weight but I also feel like I gained a friend. I would definitely recommend mind2body to anyone who needs assistance in losing weight or just getting in shape. The best experience!

I had the privilege to have Luzmar as a coach! She was so awesome and helpful with my weight loss and strength journey! I didn’t think I could ever lose any weight; I was stuck. I managed to lose 15lb and I built up the strength to do my first pull ups! That’s a huge accomplishment for me (4 years in the making). She really helped me and as a type 1 diabetic the way she told me to eat helped with my blood sugars! One of the best programs out there! Totally recommend!

Delicious, nutritious food that tastes homemade but is healthier than anything I could ever make myself. Mind2Body takes the guesswork out of healthy eating and the convenience of having ready-made meals is a no-brainer for busy professionals. Highly recommend!

Luz is an incredible coach. She is patient, responsive, and truly takes the time to understand where her clients are coming from so that she may offer the best advice and guidance.

The mind controls all, is her methodology, and she is great are refocusing and recentering you when you struggle. She is easy to talk to and very accommodating. She truly wants her clients to succeed. She is a pleasure to work with and an overall great coach!
