Growing up Ameer had always struggled with weight and body image issues. This was due to estrangement within his immediate family. As a coping mechanism Ameer used food to feel better in difficult times. Despite receiving immediate comfort from the food he was eating his confidence declined to the point where he was anxious even leaving his home. Eventually his father got them both gym memberships and the two committed to a diet. Within 6 months Ameer had lost 30 pounds, and started a lifting club for other students in a similar position as him. Since then Ameer has had a passion in helping others improve their physical health and wellness to aid in other aspects of life. He found a fascination in both powerlifting and bodybuilding and is in the process of pursuing both sports at the competitive level. After 8 years of being heavily involved in the fitness industry doing research, working with trainers, and trying various diets and workout programs, Ameer wishes to use his knowledge and experience to help others find success in and outside of the gym.
