Maya Nassar - Beirut

About Maya

A lifelong student of health.

Maya Nassar is a former IFBB bikini athlete, certified personal trainer and nutritionist based in Beirut. For over a decade she's been one of the most recognised voices on health and fitness in the Middle East - on television, in print, and online.

She started this site to share what she's learned, plainly and without pressure: how to eat well in Lebanon, how to train without spending your life in the gym, and how to keep your head straight along the way.

This is a personal site. Nothing is for sale here - just writing, recipes and resources.
