Monica Pulgarin Fitness

ENERGIZE • STRENGTHEN • RESTORE

A purposeful 12-session movement journey created especially for women who want more energy, real strength and time to reconnect with themselves.

Three different experiences. Three meaningful outcomes. One supportive women's community.

  • 12 guided sessions
  • 7 September – 17 October
  • 8:30 – 9:30 AM
  • Three locations in Dubai
  • AED 950 one-time payment

Energize

Capable, powerful and confident using weights.

Restore

Calm, clear, grounded and connected.

Meet your instructor, Monica Pulgarin

I'm Monica Pulgarin, a Colombian fitness professional, Zumba instructor and yoga instructor. I am 47 years old and have worked in the fitness industry since 2010.

My own journey has taken me from group fitness and dance to competitive bikini fitness, where I achieved first place. That experience taught me about discipline and physical performance — but it also showed me that women need more than demanding workouts.

Today, my specialty is supporting women over 35 through movement that considers strength, energy, confidence and overall wellbeing.

I am currently expanding my knowledge through studies in biohacking and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT). My approach brings together practical fitness, progressive strength, joyful movement, mindfulness and human connection.

I want every woman in my classes to feel welcomed, supported and capable, regardless of where she is starting.

“You do not need to punish your body to create change. You need a purposeful plan, the right progression and a community that helps you keep going.”

One investment. Three purposeful experiences.

Instead of purchasing disconnected classes, you receive a complete journey that supports your energy, strength, confidence and restoration.

  • Four Energize Zumba Toning sessions
  • Four Strengthen Functional Fitness sessions
  • Four Restore Mindful Power Walk sessions
  • Progressive weekly structure
  • Professional instruction
  • Silent-music headset use during the walks
  • Guided breathing, grounding, stretching and reflection
  • A supportive women's community
  • A single fixed weekly schedule: Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday
