Move Viva is a gym in San Juan del Sur, built by people who train here too.
We wanted a place with real equipment, honest pricing, and no pressure, somewhere locals and visitors alike could just show up and train, in a space that’s safe, clean, and welcoming.
That’s still what it is today.
Our Story
Founded in April of 2021, Move Viva Fitness has quickly become a prominent presence in the local fitness community. Our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to create a welcoming space where people of all fitness levels could come together, challenge themselves, and transform their lives through exercise and wellness.
Who’s Behind It
Kristen and Duban Herrera are both personal trainers and nutrition coaches who didn’t just build a gym to run. They train here too. Helping others feel and look their best is their passion.
With over 10 years of combined experience in the health and wellness industry, they’re the team behind the scenes and out on the floor. They’re alongside their members every day, helping, guiding, and answering questions, so everyone who walks through the door feels welcome and comfortable.
Also Training at Move Viva
Luis Garcia is a certified personal trainer who works out of Move Viva Fitness, training his own clients in our space. He brings 3 years of experience in Sports and Fitness Instruction, Strength Training, General Fitness, and Small Group Fitness.
He is an independent trainer, not a Move Viva employee. We can help you get in touch with Luis to get started, just let us know.
