Hey! Thanks for checking me out. My name is Maya Avelino and I'm a new, fresh face to the fitness industry, striving to grace the pages and covers of many fitness mags and become a household name in this crazy game!

I was born and raised in Toronto and although I love this city, there's nothing I'd rather do more than travel and see everything this beautiful world has to offer. I love to keep fit through weights, running, boxing and anything outdoorsy. I also compete in fitness modeling competitions and love the rush of being onstage.

Things I love most? Summertime, dinner with good company, wine, a good book or movie and the feeling you get after a great workout.

Things I could do without? Winter, bad drivers, and getting up early to do cardio!

Dream Job? Host of a travel and leisure show with a fitness influence...what else IS there in life?! Get to know me more at www.MayaAvelino.com. Till then, stay fit & have fun!
