Sam Nahid

Having previously been obese throughout most of his high school years, Sam knows first hand how difficult it can be to adjust to a healthy lifestyle.  At his peak, Sam weighed in at an astounding 257 pounds.  Being only 15 at the time, Sam endured a great deal of hardship from his fellow classmates due to his obesity.

Moreover, he was unable to participate in most of the physical activities that his peers were involved in; even running a single lap around his school was a daunting task.  In the summer of 2011 Sam finally decided to hire a personal trainer, Pouyan Abedini, and give it his all.  Over the course of just 4 months Sam had lost well over 50 pounds, and his campaign for a healthier lifestyle had begun.  Sam's now a BCRPA certified trainer, and dedicated to transforming the life of others for the better.

Noya Madadi

Noya’s passion for nutrition and holistic living comes from her years of experimenting with various diet fads and the extreme lifestyle that comes with taking part in fitness competitions.

“We know it’s not just about calories in, calories out.  That didn’t work for us then and it hasn’t worked for us now, otherwise we would still have maintained our weight loss from the first time we ever dieted.  If you can’t stick to something long-term, it isn’t working for you.”

Noya believes every person is unique and thus has varied nutrition needs, which is why she is dedicated to working with individuals to find a nutrition lifestyle that works best for their body.

“I don’t believe in one specific dietary solution, different foods can support our body, constitution and health at various times in our lives.  Taking time to be mindful and listen to our bodies is the ultimate key to creating balance and long-lasting results.”

Noya has found much success in bringing mindfulness to the way we look at food and our relationship to our bodies---effectively optimizing fitness, vitality & health.
