Five years on and three studios later, Good Vibes Fitness has earned itself a reputation for high speed, hassle-free workouts for both gym lovers and loathers. The first studio was such as success that the Good Vibes empire expanded with three studio openings in central London in year one.
A trained yoga instructor and soon-to-be Pilates mat teacher with a first class degree in textiles, Nahid has combined all her skills and interests to provide fitness studios and service with bags of personality and as far removed from the corporate gym experience as possible.
