Sama - Core Team

Since my journey began as an Athlete, as a female body builder, unknowingly I got connected to two worlds. One  as a Fitness Professional and other as an Athlete. I gave almost 30 years in transforming people's life towards healthy living.

But I also closely saw the lives of Athletes from various fields. I realized that very few got a secured career and settled, while most of them, in spite of successful sports career, could not get opportunities to earn well. 

With my personal example and success in fitness industry, I thought 'Why not make these athletes a part of this growing industry?

As it is known to all how stressful corporate life is. Long sitting hours is one of the biggest threat and how a small change in your corporate routine can improve your lifestyle and help maintain a work - life balance. 

So here is Sama - bringing yet two different worlds together and making a change.
