ATTENTION FRIENDS

In light of the current national events, we have established enhanced cleaning protocols. We have increased the frequency of cleaning the equipment and locker rooms. Staff will wear facial coverings at all times except when alone in an enclosed space. Clients should wear a face covering when entering and exiting the facility, and in between workouts.

We have provided Additional antibacterial products. We ask that all staff and clients wash or sanitized their hands upon entering. We have increased the quantity of sanitizers and disinfectant wipes available for clients and trainers to use throughout their sessions. 

All sessions we will be appointment only. If any client is unwell we asked that they contact their trainer and reschedule their session. And trainers will reschedule sessions if they present any sickness.

Bio

Naarah-2.jpg

Naarah has been in the fitness industry for over 15 years and currently owns a personal training gym in Midtown called Apollofit. During those years, she has worked with a broad spectrum of clients ranging anywhere in age from 10 to 90 years of age, covering a wide range of health and fitness goals. Naarah dedicates herself to motivating each client to live their best life now with a firm belief that any dream or goal can be achieved. She wants to be the guide to help each one of her clients to reach those goals. Naarah takes each client exactly where they are in terms of their physical abilities. Each person is different so each person is given a program that is designed specifically to their body. Naarah works with clients in her gym, at their homes, or even online through programming and video conference. 

Naarah believes that we have this one life to live and we choose how the journey is to be lived. Once 80 pounds overweight in 2005, she set a goal of losing the weight and running her first marathon. After one year of proper nutrition and consistent exercising, Naarah trained herself to qualify and ran in the Boston Marathon. She continued competing in marathon running and qualifying for Boston for 9 years and then her passion led her to powerlifting where she won a National Championship in 2015 with State Record Deadlift 407# and Bench 187# , Chicago Fit Expo in 2016, and World Deadlift Championship (Tested) and World Record 369# in 2017 and has set numerous lifting records through USPA those years.  Alongside her personal accomplishments, she finds her greatest success in her clients living their goals, setting world records, becoming champions, or getting stronger for their best life. 

Naarah made her entire life about helping others even before she was a personal trainer.  She was previously a high school math teacher and high school volleyball coach.  Although she found that work rewarding, she was astonished by the physical ailments that kept so many from achieving their goals.  She wanted to do more to help people regain their lives, so she returned to school and earning her certification as a personal trainer and coach through NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association). She has coached volleyball and powerlifting teams, worked with clients with disabilities and auto-immune diseases, and has helped many reach various goals from weight loss to competing or completing adventures.​

She lives by the belief that:

"If you are passionate about achieving your dreams, nothing can stop you. The work is hard but it cannot compare to the feeling of living your dreams" 

Naarah Pyscher – CPT-NSCA

Rehabilitation, strength, conditioning, and mobility.  Each program is designed personally for the client or group.  Work with a wide range of clientele such as youth, older populations, auto-immune disorders, athletes, and physical disabilities.

Testimonials

Naarah has affected the lives of so many people, hear what a few of them have to say. We hope it inspires you in some way.

As someone who is extremely overweight, I felt desperate to address my health but terrified to work with a trainer. Naarah allayed my fears in mere minutes. She is a challenging yet compassionate trainer. Working with her has made me feel stronger, healthier, and more confident. And during periods of setbacks, she meets you where you are and helps you to restore yourself. Her presence in my life has been an everlasting gift.

Stronger in ATL
I started working out remotely with Naarah about a year and half ago and was starting from ground zero as someone who never worked out. As a 52-year old who works full time, travels for work regularly and has a 9-year old, finding the time felt impossible. But Naarah worked with me on my schedule (no excuses!) and tailored workouts to my goals (getting stronger overall and strengthening my core to help with back pain.) Today I feel so much stronger and more fit. I am able to use heavier weights than when we started, I can hold a plank for longer than 5 seconds, and my husband has even commented that he sees a difference. I encourage everyone to make time to take care of your physical well-being and let Naarah show you how!
— Karen Montgomery
In the past I hated to exercise, but knew that it’s important for your mind, body and soul. Naarah Pyscher has been my trainer for 5 years. She has a way about her that makes you work harder. As a trainer she’s not pushy, but firm and encouraging, she explains in great detail what each exercise does for your body. Because of her training, I have come to enjoy exercise, feel better physically and love the changes I see happening to my body. I move better, have more energy. sleep better and my mindset has shown great improvement.
— Juanita Carpenter
I have been training with Naarah for 8 years. Her skills include an understanding of women’s bodies and the aging process focusing on balance and the importance of stretching. I credit Naarah for helping me regain health after surgery. Working out with Naarah is a very important part of my life plan for keeping mentally and physically healthy and fit.
— Gayle Mason
My experience with Naarah and her training program has been beyond exceptional. When I first went to Naarah, I was thin with NO muscle definition, however I knew that I had goals and wanted help. After speaking with Naarah, she jumps right into and start crafting an exercise plan that was tailored for my needs. I thought we were starting slow, however she was showing me correct form and making sure that I would get the most benefit from the exercise and not hurt myself in the process. As time has continue, I definitely have gained the muscle mass I have been seeking and now working to get to the next level.
Additionally, Naarah is quite attentive and ensures that I have everything I need. She contacts me at least once a week to see how the week went and to see if there is anything that I am having issues with and what problems am I facing. After our weekly consultation she adjust the program accordingly and continues to challenge me to do my best. Thank you Naarah for all of your hard work and dedication.
— Travis Turner
Naarah has helped me improve my strength and work through a number of injuries successfully. She really knows anatomy and how to safely train her clients while creating a customized, challenging and fun workout. A low key, non-intimidating place to train.
— Laurie Caro
I have been working with Naarah for a couple years, and I do not want to think of where I would be if I had not started working with her. However, it was not until recently – in clearing driveways from our recent snowfall – that I realized just how much she has helped me. I realized, then, that Naarah’s focus on healthy, core strength has been invaluable.
— Kenneth Goleaner
Naarah is very good at knowing my health issues. She knows your body, bones, tendons, etc…She is one of the most kindest, smartest people I know. I am a 72 year old woman with COPD and high blood pressure and she has done so much for me to improve my health.
— Vivian Allison
Naarah has an uncanny instinct for understanding the human body. Combine that with her encyclopedic knowledge of how the body works and her compassion and you get the best darn trainer in St. Louis.
— Carol Gibbons
It is critical with my rigorous work schedule and being over 50 years of age that I continue to do consistent strength training. With Naarah’s help, I remind strong and in shape. She is so good, that I sent my 75 year old Mom to her. My mother had no balance when she started working with her. After a couple months of training, she no longer needed to hold onto a handrail going up stairs or into a shower.
— Christy Cavallini
Naarah is one of the greatest trainers I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. She’s knowledgeable about fitness and health, but she also knows the boundaries on how far she can push you in a workout without overloading your body. There are limits that I didn’t know I could handle until I started working with Naarah. I’ve seen vast improvement in my muscle composition, and the condition of my lower back since we started working together about 2 years ago. She is 100% someone you can trust to take care of you, and have a good time; all while maximizing your workout which therefore will make you as strong as you can be! I would highly recommend training with Naarah. As long as you take care of yourself, and keep good form in your movements, you should see great success.”
— Luke Ramsey
I was able to wear a formal dress with confidence in a friend’s wedding after training with Naarah. I can now walk into any weight room with confidence. It felt empowering to get stronger as the weeks went by. Naarah gave me the confidence to eventually train for my first Powerlifting meet. Lift up and lift heavy.
— Shannon Leigh
Naarah tailors each workout to my physical and mental needs. A rare quality in a personal trainer, she makes your goals hers and helps you achieve above and beyond. She does all this with a smile and genuine energy that never feels pushy; a gentle warrior.
