A model of a fit and healthy lifestyle, personal trainer Murad Zaidi, the owner of Xclusive Fitnesz gym.
MURAD ZAIDI began his life in the fitness scene as an athlete. First as a high school American football player in Queens, New York; then as an amateur boxer, muay thai practitioner, and mixed martial arts fighter. Bulking up and staying fit since the age of 15, Murad stands as the physical embodiment of the healthy figure many strive to achieve; with a lifestyle he now promulgates at his gym, Xclusive Fitnesz. This unique gym, located in Stadium Malawati, occupies 30,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor converted space—what were previously the stairs and hallways in the upper levels of the stadium. With a masters degree in high performance sport, Murad is undeniably the legitimate package, as I find out during our interview.
How did Xclusive Fitnesz come about?
