Trainers at Lift ATX
María Rodríguez has been an active participant in the fitness space since 2014. She found a passion for movement through yoga in 2012, then found strength and conditioning through CrossFit. She taught both by 2016, which is when she started competitively powerlifting. She held her own powerlifting specialty class in Tacoma, Washington and ended up coaching her clients in bigger competitions as well who would have never thought to be competitors!
María has been training people from all different stages, making sure her clients feel safe and empowered to explore their strongest side through strength training. She believes there is no gender, no limit, and nothing too big to dream up when we’ve untapped into our truest potential.
“Experience is the teacher of all things.”

At eleven years old, I began lifting weights to improve soccer performance. After finishing my soccer career, I wanted to add muscle to my skinny physique.
After a few years, I gained 50 lbs of muscle naturally. Starting at 150 lbs, I reached a peak weight of 230 lbs (not all muscle). I was a competitive powerlifter at the time. I recently rediscovered my passion for endurance training, and I’m currently a leaner 200lbs.
Because of my own journey, I specialize in coaching people who:
1 Have always wanted to gain substantial muscle mass but have struggled to do so on their own.
2 Are endurance or hybrid athletes seeking to avoid injury and improve performance.
As a former UT Law student and software sales rep, I also specialize in training law students, lawyers, and tech salespeople. I understand the unique obstacles these populations face. So I structure programs to help them get the maximum return on time invested.
