MEET YOUR
INSTRUCTOR
I’m Micheline Maalouf, a Syrian/Lebanese therapist and dancer based in Florida. For years, I watched people try to “work out” by pushing through their bodies, while ignoring stress, grief, trauma, and the pressure to perform. Habiby Fit was born as an alternative: a movement space where fitness is still real (yes, you’ll sweat), but the energy is joy, culture, and nervous-system-friendly release.
Habiby Fit blends cardio and strength with belly-dance-inspired movement, grounding rhythms, and music from the SWANA/Arab world. You don’t need dance experience, just come as you are. My goal is for you to leave feeling stronger, more confident, and more connected to yourself… like you remembered something your body already knew.
