Ahmed Ahmed
Ahmed Ahmed is the founder of Lotus Fitness, where he specializes in helping older adults experiencing pain to overcome that pain, so that they can spend time with their grandkids, enjoy their retirement, and do all of the activities they enjoy in their life through gentle strength-building and exercise. Ahmed initially got into exercise because he was struggling with low self-esteem. Over time he started seeing results that sky-rocketed his confidence until a back injury from exercise prevented him from going to the gym. Ahmed started working with a chiropractor who became a personal trainer and showed him how people can exercise effectively, even if they had joint damage. Ahmed then signed up to study Anatomy at Stony Brook University, and in 2016 got certified in personal training. Ahmed has spent the last eight years learning ground-breaking, strength-building techniques from a wide array of mentors and medical professionals.
