Sara Khaireddin
Personal Trainer
Mississauga Class Instructor
Sara’s fitness journey began at the age of 12 when she sought out a trainer to help her with her horseback riding career—ironically, that trainer was Maida herself. What started as a way to improve her riding, quickly turned into a lifelong passion to pursue a career in the fitness. Having experienced the ups and downs of her own journey, she understands the challenges that come with it. Her mission is to help women become the happiest and healthiest versions of themselves, and embrace the reality that life and the journey are not perfect, but that we are strong enough to overcome whatever obstacles come our way. The best part of training is witnessing the moment when clients realize they can do it, because she knows that self-realization is one of the most powerful tools for self-love and growth.

-horseback riding (sometimes both at the same time)
