She can lift heavier weights than most men in the gym
Fellas often ask her to be their spotter because they are so overawed by her larger than life look.
She said: "A lot of people think that women should be smaller and that men should be the strong ones who take care of everything.
'But I love being a big, strong woman – especially in the gym. I don't see a problem with flipping gender roles.
'Every time I go to the gym, a man will ask me to spot them, and I'm happy to do it. I get some stares and comments now and then, but I think most men are curious or impressed by what I can do.
'Or maybe they feel intimidated. I love feeling fit and strong. The gym feels like home."
Marie now runs a successful OnlyFans page and rakes in £7.5m a year - earnings that helped her build a £75k gym in her own home.
The influencer, who has 2.9m followers on Instagram (@marietemara), has transformed her life after she used to be bullied for her size.
Cruel trolls would call her 'Bigfoot' or say that she 'looked like the Jolly Green Giant'.
But the Miami-based fitness fanatic turned what they viewed as a weakness into her biggest strength.
She said: 'It seems to be older men who make rude comments.
I made six figures on OnlyFans but would give it all back not to be an embarrassment to my daughter, says Jemma Lucy
'They'll give a funny look and say, 'I can lift that' – I didn't ask if they could.
'I try not to let their negativity bother me, but I'll admit that it can feel a bit uncomfortable sometimes.'
'They would call me a man because I was so tall, so I wanted to lose weight and get fit.
'I started going to the gym every day, but it didn't stop them.
'Now, I get messages from the same bullies, trying to befriend me.
'They'll say 'Hey, do you remember when we went to school together?' – but I don't reply.
'The first thing I did after buying my house was build my gym.
'I plan to knock it down to double the size in the next few years.'
Marie, who used to be an accountant, added: 'I truly hope to see more women owning their strength and taking up space in the weight room.
"Lifting isn't just for guys; it's empowering, confidence-boosting, and so worth it. Let's normalise strong women."
