Sami
Owner & Founder
Hi, I’m Sami, owner and founder of Sami Grace Fitness, NASM CPT, BCS, and Mobility Training Specialist.
My journey into personal training started 15+ years ago after I left the corporate world and took a leap of faith into a career that truly lit me up. I began coaching bootcamps in local parks while teaching dance fitness classes at Blast! Fitness and 24 Hour Fitness locations in League City, Friendswood and Pearland.
​
In my own fitness journey, I rediscovered my confidence, strength, and self-worth through realistic, sustainable fitness. From then on, I knew I wanted to help other women do the same. I built hands-on experience training at the University of Houston Downtown and UH Main Campus, where I continued to grow as a coach while having the freedom to support my own clients. From there, I worked in women’s-only spaces, which deepened my passion for creating inclusive, empowering environments for growth.
​
Sami Grace Fitness was born from the grassroots up, fueled by my community, my clients, and a mission to make fitness realistic, pressure-free, and confidence-building for women and men.
​
I’ve also had the honor and pleasure to educate and present to the Delta Gamma Bay Area Alumnae organization and to students at the University of Houston–Downtown. ​
