Local Stories

Today we’d like to introduce you to Najwa Ahmed.

Najwa, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
It all began for me by teaching pole fitness classes. I was so moved by how much I learned about myself while I took classes that I decided I needed to share that rare fitness jewel with as many women as I could!

As I began teaching pole fitness classes, I quickly realized the need for women to lose weight and understand the weight loss process. I took a brief break from teaching pole and relaunched my new business, EmPower Total Fitness – Women’s Fitness Studio where we focus on fat loss and body transformation! That was on December 2015. I already had my certification as a personal trainer and decide to put it to true use!

We help change lives every single day. As a certified Personal Trainer and Health coach, I understand what women need to reach their fitness goals. And it’s a lot more than JUST diet and exercise. We offer the complete package now.

In all it took constant work and dedication to get to where we are now. Lots of support from friends and family as well. So many of my first clients were women I was friend with. That meant a lot to me!

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Smooth road? I wish! Lol! The road of entrepreneurship is ladled with struggle and success. I’d say the greatest struggle for me is in making sure my clients receive the absolute best service and helping them truly understand that self-love is the first step in Body Transformation. I want what we do to have a powerful impact on people’s lives. So far, so good.

As for the actual business aspect, balancing work with family is a true struggle. Focusing on being a good boss, leader, mom, wife and daughter takes constant attention 🙂

We’d love to hear more about your business.

What were you like growing up?
This is a good one lol. I was out going, with my own style and very athletic. I loved to create. I’d sew my own clothes in high school. Even made my junior prom dress! I played violin and loved boy bands.
