About

Zeina has a unique and personalized approach to Fitness and Health. She works with her clients on shifting their mindset from “hating” to LOVING, APPRECIATING and RESPECTING their bodies and what they are capable of! She emphasizes achieving a balanced approach to nutrition and physical activity steering towards a positive body image first leading to restoring self-esteem.

Self-esteem can infiltrate every aspect of life, and contributes to happiness and wellbeing. Hence, she likes to focus on a constructive GOAL to shift to a healthier lifestyle and becoming less susceptible to feel impacted by unrealistic images seen in the media.

Zeina has a background in dance and found Pilates post an injury in her left leg. After physiotherapy, she discovered that Pilates and Barre classes efficiently strengthen the muscles in a targeted manner and helped her resume her dance training.

Zeina holds a Bachelor in Business Administration from the American University of Beirut and is a CPA and has worked in the corporate world for a decade before realizing that inspiring others achieve their fitness goals is much more satisfying. She is also the founder of Zee ateliers, an online concept store for unique and handmade designs.

Zeina is a certified STOTT PILATES instructor and a Oriental Barre ™ instructor. She teaches Belly-Dance Fitness, Oriental Barre ™, Mat and Reformer Pilates and caters for prenatal and postnatal clients in her classes. Zeina also completed an Injuries and Special Populations course by STOTT PILATES and was involved in the rehabilitation program for many young and adult athletes.

Her infectious smile, positive energy and candid humor allowed her to help people in private & group settings both through face-to-face and online sessions. She is a pioneer in teaching Pilates and barre in Arabic, through her Instagram and YouTube channels. Through her informative videos, she strives to close the gap between Western and Arabic culture through discussing not only Pilates but also focusing on subjects that are still deemed taboo in terms of body image and body acceptance.

She recorded an entire Barre Program in Arabic in collaboration with Waqty Fitness. Her Pilates classes are included in several corporate wellness programs taught on client premises and online.
