Hey, I’m Vahid, the guy behind Dihoo Fitness.
My journey into fitness started way back when I was 8 years old, flipping, kicking, and climbing everything in sight. I trained in a variety of martial arts and eventually won championships in Kickboxing, Boxing, Taekwondo, Ninjutsu, and Wrestling. I also spent about 8 years coaching parkour and gymnastics, helping others move with confidence, power, and control.
Eventually, I earned my Master’s degree in Physical Education back in Iran, and that’s where Dihoo Fitness was born,over 15 years ago. What started as a passion quickly became a movement. I built Dihoo to help people grow stronger, not just physically but mentally and emotionally too.
In 2023, I moved to Los Angeles with my wife and daughter to start a new chapter. I got hired at Equinox and gained great experience there, but I knew deep down I needed to keep building my own vision, so I left to bring Dihoo Fitness to life here in the U.S.
My wife is not only my life partner, but also a certified personal trainer and a major reason I’ve grown even more passionate about this mission. She’s currently fighting cancer, and watching her show up every day with strength and heart has reshaped the way I look at fitness. It’s not just about aesthetics or lifting heavier, it’s about resilience, mindset, and building real strength from the inside out.
Despite everything she’s going through, she still assists me in training and managing clients, and honestly, she’s the backbone of this business in so many ways. Her presence is a daily reminder of why Dihoo Fitness exists.
And in case you’re wondering, “Dihoo” actually comes from my name , Vahid. Flip it in Farsi, and you get Dihoo. It’s personal, and it represents everything I’ve poured into this journey.
If you’re ready to build real strength, inside and out, I’m here to help you get there.
