My passion for fitness was forged during my time in the military, where discipline, resilience, and physical performance weren’t just expected—they were essential. That experience not only shaped my approach to training but also ignited a lifelong commitment to health, strength, and self-improvement.

 

Before the military, I was deeply rooted in sports. Growing up as an athlete, I learned early on the value of hard work, consistency, and pushing beyond limits. Whether on the field, the court, or in the weight room, I found purpose and drive through movement and competition.

 

Today, my mission is simple: to help others become the best version of themselves—physically, mentally, and emotionally. I work with everyday people who want to feel stronger, move better, and live healthier lives. Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or looking to take things to the next level, I’m here to guide you with structure, accountability, and purpose.

My name is Sumaiya Sarwar. I am an IFBB wellness pro bodybuilder. I offer online coaching, in-person training, virtual, in-person posing sessions and mindset coaching calls to women who compete in the fit model, bikini, wellness, and figure divisions. I also work with lifestyle clients- women who are not looking to compete in bodybuilding shows but want to lose fat and develop a muscular physique. Over the years, I’ve assisted 100+ women in their 20s to 50s achieve their fitness and bodybuilding goals. 

 

After doing bodyweight exercises for 10 years to battle childhood obesity, I started lifting weights in high school. I began competing in bodybuilding in 2018 and never looked back. Surviving a plethora of abuse and being told I wasn't good enough, I had spent the majority of my life being misunderstood and underestimated. Bodybuilding saved me. I am a walking example of resilience and hard work. I strive to push myself and the athletes on my team to push past their limits and discover the best version of ourselves.
