Who I Am

FOUNDER. TRAINER.
COMMUNITY BUILDER.

I'm Maraka Timothy — a certified personal trainer, fitness coach, and Community Psychology graduate from Makerere University. Over 5+ years I've helped hundreds of people transform their bodies, build discipline, and improve their mental health through structured fitness programs.

I founded Fit Camp Uganda in 2020, delivering boot camps, corporate wellness programs, online coaching, and rehabilitation training. I also serve as Evening Session Manager at Fitness by Becky, and have worked as a Mental Health Advocate & Fitness Specialist at Teen Challenge Uganda — combining fitness and psychology to help individuals recovering from addiction.

My approach is holistic: I believe a strong body and a strong mind are built together. Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, improve performance, or simply feel better — I have the certifications, experience, and drive to get you there.
