US-based fitness trainer looking to set up centre here

Samantha Maycock

Guyana-born, Atlanta-based Samantha Maycock is currently on a brief visit to Guyana, keeping a promise she made to her sister to support her in the staging of this year’s Miss Summer Blaze Beauty Pageant.

However, the 35-year-old Pro Bikini Athlete and Fitness Trainer, who migrated to the United States as a teenager, has a far more significant long-term ambition. She wants to establish a Fitness Training Centre in Guyana to help locals become more intimately involved in the global fitness craze which she says can offer additional years of healthy living.

The holder of a Bachelor of Science Degree in Exercise and Health from the Kennesaw State University in Atlanta, Georgia, Maycock says she is readying herself to engage the authorities here on the issue of remigration to create her ‘dream’ business venture.
