OMG you guys…

…you have no idea how long I have waited to finally tell my story. My clients are keeping me super busy, but I am honored to be their first choice and help them embark on their journey to getting fit! I’m thankful for each and every one of them!

I am Kifah and I’m a certified personal trainer and health coach serving the Greater Inland Empire in Southern California. Now, I am not going to conform to the cliché by saying fitness has always been a passion of mine, or that it came naturally and was easy to commit to from day one. While I did love going to the gym, I loved socializing there more than anything else. We all have moments in life where we are just tired of constant challenges weighing us down and look for an outlet, and for me the gym was just that. However, it took a major life event for me to wake up and realize that I don’t have to be tired all the time. That wakeup call is what caused me to push myself to accomplish everything I have today.

Who would have thought I would find my life’s purpose at the gym? I had an “aha” moment where I thought, why am I at the gym always complimenting others about how amazing they look? I say “Wow, I have been watching your progress for the past year at this gym and your transformation is amazing!” To myself I thought… wait, what about me? I’m here all the time, and I wanted to look better and feel better, too!

I must admit, the discipline it took to commit to working out and maintaining my health didn’t happen overnight. It took going through a really rough and dark time (that I would rather forget about but am thankful for at the same time) to decide to turn my life around, to pay attention to myself when others weren’t, and to stop blaming others for why I felt as low as I did. I started going to the gym (almost) every single day, went back to school and started working again. My most successful endeavor thus far was becoming a certified personal trainer and health coach in 2016. Others were now telling ME how impressed they were with my transformation (giving me a much needed boost of confidence)! The most heartfelt moment, though, was when one of my close friends, whom I had grown apart from, contacted me one day and said “I know it has been a year now since you’ve been back, but I am just starting to recognize the Kifah I know, welcome back girl!”

WOW was I taken aback by that moment. Sharing tears of happiness instead of tears of sorrow was so refreshing. Everything started looking up from there. I was becoming more social, attending more events and gatherings, and getting praise more than ever, and all that positive energy was exactly what I needed! Where I previously avoided people I knew, I was now looked up to as a role model! Whaaaat?! I honestly can’t believe that I am living my wildest dreams, and I am now ready to share all of this with you! I am all about making people feel good about themselves, while looking their best! I started Get Fit With Kifah to give others the opportunity to do just that, get fit and feel great!
