Zahra Zahed

Zahra is the founder and CEO of Will2Well, which is an international platform offering four main wellness services: personal training, group fitness classes, life coaching, and nutrition coaching. The organization’s mission is to educate, motivate, and empower individuals to look and feel better.

Zahra is a Master Certified Life Coach, Body Transformation Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Group Fitness Instructor, and a former professional kickboxer. She holds a diploma in fitness and health from Centennial College and a degree in kinesiology from the University of Guelph-Humber. She is also the 2019 recipient of the Natalie Novak Youth Award, which honours those who “have shown courage, determination and willingness to be a role model for their peers”, and she sits on the Board of Directors for the Jane Alliance Neighbourhood Services, a community-based charity in Toronto. 

Originally from Afghanistan, Zahra experienced a life-changing personal transformation—she overcame the challenges she faced as an unhoused, pregnant, newly-arrived immigrant in 2017 to become the university graduate, single mother, and successful CEO that she is today. Zahra hopes to unlock the limitless potential in others so that they can begin their own transformative journeys.  

Through Will2Well and her various coaching initiatives, Zahra is her clients’ partner, educator, and sounding board. She works to help people achieve their goals, whether they be leading a simpler life, increasing prosperity, having healthier relationships, or finding happiness, fulfillment, and joy. Her approach is holistic, as she understands the importance of a healthy body, mind, and spirit in overall transformation.
