About

My name is Katya Jafari and I am a personal trainer in the DC area. I graduated from James Madison University in 2006 with a B.S. in Exercise Science-Pre Physical Therapy and Nutrition. I have a passion for fitness and wellness, exercise, and motivating others to maintain a healthy lifestyle throughout life. It is through this that I obtained my personal training certification with American Council on Exercise (ACE) and group exercise instructor certification with Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA) in 2007 and 2008. With my experiences in college and work, I have a broad base of knowledge with exercise including group fitness classes, rehabilitative exercise therapy, corrective postural exercise, flexibility, muscular balance, weight training, circuit training, running, sport-specific training, exercises for special populations, yoga, weight management, nutrition, goal setting and health coaching. I grew up in the Montgomery County area, always leading an active lifestyle. My personal favorites are playing soccer, running, boxing, snowboarding, rock climbing, hiking, yoga, swimming, weight training, and circuit training. In my spare time, I love to watch DC sports (Redskins for life), hang out with friends, read, travel, and be outside! Just recently, I completed my second Cherry Blossom 10 Miler and soon to hope train for a marathon and triathlon.I intend to make sure that your fitness goals are accomplished while having FUN and feeling great!
