Methodology

Nafisa believes in a balanced lifestyle that incorporates daily movement, from weight training to yoga-like stretching, and proper nutrition to both maintain a healthy body and mind.

By balancing the masculine aspects of structure and strength, with the feminine aspects of intuition and flow, you have a holistic system that works with your body, not against it. Her plans are not one-size-fits all, rather an extremely thoughtful and intuitive approach to health of the mind, body and soul. Though clients strive for progress, the end-goal is for them to have a love for fitness and wellness and to cultivate a balanced lifestyle that suits their specific needs and wants.

Through the mind, body and soul connection, we work with the body to build strength, understanding first that starts in the mind and what you put into your body, both in the food we eat and thoughts and words we speak.

Testimonials

"Training with Nafisa during peak-COVID and while running for elected office was a joy! I looked forward to weekly sessions, which she created with care and intention. Over the course of our sessions, Nafisa helped to make my body and mind stronger and more resilient to all the stresses and negativity. She focused on deep and long stretches and transformative breath work, both of which were healing, relaxing, and supported how I showed up for the communities I was working with alongside improving my memory power and reducing anxiety levels. Some weeks her guided breath work exercises were the only meditation I could offer myself, so I really looked forward to them. As someone with multiple replacement surgeries, achy joints, and residual pains and traumas from surviving a chronic illness and living with disabilities, Nafisa showed proactive care for my needs and adjusted movements accordingly. Her food plans have helped me understand meal prep and portion which I’ve incorporated in my diet. She is extremely talented and thoughtful and a fun soul to be around. I highly appreciate her and recommend practicing with her!"

"Nafisa is truly an angel sent from the universe to transform you/your life for the better! She has the calm yet persuasive demeanor that helps put you on this path of becoming your healthier self. She works with you to understand you and tailor makes a fitness plan that steadily bakes into your routine. For someone like me who'd look at people doing 5k walks wonderously or one who had been reticent to ever hitting a gym in life - she helped tranform and find motivation in me. Now I'm almost ten pounds lighter, not really obsessing on weight loss rather finding my healthier self, and have sort of turned into a gym rat who loves doing weights! Above all she works with me on holistic fitness, with breathing exercises, yoga, nutrition other than cardio, HIIT and lifting weights keeping fitness of the full body and mind in focus. Thank you, Nafisa to taking me on this journey, and helping me create these good habits in learning how to look after myself better!"

“I decided to begin training with Nafisa during my second trimester of my pregnancy. And it was the best decision I could have made. I trained up until 34 weeks, and I was able to develop great form and stay fit throughout my pregnancy. Each session there were new work outs and exercises she incorporated which allowed me to strengthen and target specific muscles to be stronger throughout my pregnancy. Nafisa always motivated me and challenged me mentally and physically. She is highly knowledgeable and I would definitely recommend her as a personal trainer.”

“Nafisa creates routines that are individualized and guides you through them with so much grace and professionalism! While it’s by no means easy, she makes sure that you are able to complete the workout to the best of your ability. I had a problem with trying to get through it quickly but she reminded me that I have to listen to my body and to just take my time. Really appreciated her guidance and expertise!”
