About Zara

I’m a certified personal trainer with a global perspective and a passion for helping people transform their lives. My journey has taken me from Iran to China, and now to the U.S., where I’m committed to fulfilling my mission: empowering individuals to feel strong, confident, and capable—inside and out. I hold a NASM Personal Training Certificate, along with CrossFit Level 1, Kids CrossFit, and CrossFit Gymnastics certifications. I specialize in programming, scaling, and technique refinement, including Olympic weightlifting. Whether your goal is to build strength, improve mobility, get toned, or boost your confidence, I offer personalized coaching tailored to your body and your mindset. Fluent in English, Chinese, and Persian, I connect with clients across cultures and backgrounds. My approach is rooted in respect, resilience, and results. Let’s go!!!!

Training philosophy

No excuses, Let’s build something powerful—together.

A typical session

In our first session, I’ll begin by asking a few questions to better understand your goals, lifestyle, and fitness background. This allows me to tailor a program that aligns with what you want to achieve. Next, we’ll conduct a body assessment focused on foundational movements, followed by a warm-up and mobility exercises. Based on your goals, we’ll then move into the main workout. To wrap up, we’ll finish with a cool-down and guided stretching to support recovery and flexibility.
