While studying I was working as a trainer in my hometown gym, this is where I discovered my love for people and for the process of life transformation with fitness, I had the chance to see people getting stronger and beautiful, people healing from physical illnesses and even psychological troubles, people coming angry and frustrated to the gym and leaving it relaxed and smiling, that made me fall deeper and deeper in love with fitness training and made me more convinced that this is what I’ll be doing for the rest of my life. I started studying more and doing online extra courses specially with the ISSA ( international sports sciences association) and reading many books about training and nutrition and started applying everything on myself and clients in the local gym.
After graduation, everything was ready for me to start my professional life as a trainer, I applied to phoenicia intercontinental hotel in Beirut and i was accepted, that was 2 weeks after graduation, there i spent 8 years of my life learning something new everyday. It was another university for me.
Beside fitness training I learned how to be an excellent 5 stars hotel employee with all the trainings that we had to do and apply with our hotel guests.
Our job was personal training, one on one sessions. That gave me the chance of meeting many people and that lead to expanding my business to outside the hotel.
With time, many clients means many cases and so much experience, I worked with medical cases, old people, fitness lovers, kids, beauty seekers, healthy people. Gradually the demand started increasing, more and more people wanted to workout with me so I decided to free myself from being employed and got fully booked till this moment.
During that time, the passion for working on my own fitness and knowledge didn’t fade so I decided to get back on the competition track in natural Bodybuilding after knowing that it existed but unfortunately outside Lebanon. I started preparing all year round since that time and my main goal apart my own victories was learning the secrets of training and dieting for competition purposes. I was always convinced that I had to live the experience in order to be able to coach someone, now I’m working with first class Lebanese champions, competing worldwide, training a lot of cases and being interviewed several times a year on radio shows and journals.
Knowing that I don’t have time anymore to be physically present with a lot of people, I decided to launch my website hoping that I will be able to assist and coach everyone interested to reach their dreams no matter how big they are.
