Our Team
Drew Reinhardt | President
Drew Reinhardt is an up-and-coming fitness and nutrition professional with a heart of service. Upon falling in love with Nicaragua while visiting on a retreat in 2016, Drew took a leap of faith and moved to the small rural village of Aserradores. She spent her first two years getting to know the culture and the locals and carving out her place in the community. In 2018 she started to develop a community-based fitness and nutrition program for local women which would eventually become the foundation for Mujeres Que Mueven.
Drew is a natural leader who loves to encourage and invest in the growth of others. Providing basic education in health, fitness and nutrition for those who need it most has become her passion.
