Jad, hailing from Beirut, Lebanon, discovered his passion for group fitness 15 years ago when a friend convinced him to attend a class. By the end of that session, he knew he wanted to be on stage, microphone in hand, coaching and inspiring others to become their strongest selves.
Fast forward to today, Jad’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. He’s certified in over seven fitness formats and has taught more than 5,500 classes. As a LESMILLS trainer, PAVIGYM Master Trainer, and POUND ICON, he has conducted 42 trainings across Lebanon, Egypt, and Turkey. Among his career highlights, Jad represented Lebanon in the iconic filming of BODYPUMP 100 in New Zealand, became a Reebok-sponsored athlete, and even led morning workouts on Lebanese national television. His dedication and achievements continue to motivate countless individuals to move, grow, and thrive.
