Meet Nordine

Nordine Z (Zouareg) was a sickly infant, born to penniless Bedouin parents in the Algerian desert and not expected to survive to his first birthday.

Twenty-four years later, he had turned himself into a champion bodybuilder who held the titles of Mr. France, Mr. Europe, Mr. World, and Mr. Universe simultaneously.

In 1995 he came to the United States as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability and settled in Tucson, Arizona, where Dr.Dharma Singh Khalsa put him in charge of patient fitness at Khalsa International.

From Khalsa International, Nordine moved to the renowned Miraval, Life in Balance, Spa/Resort, where he managed the fitness team for five years. Since 2004 he has been Miraval's Professional Fitness Coach, working directly with clients to identify and change the negative patterns that are preventing them from attaining optimum health and fitness.

Throughout his career, Nordine has worked with high-profile clients such as Barbra Streisand, Charlie Sheen, Oprah Winfrey, John and Teresa Heinz Kerry, top athletes, business leaders, and thousands of other people who credit his mind-centered training techniques as the key to weight loss and lasting health.

In addition to his deep understanding of how the mind works to influence the body and his belief in the benefits of balancing body, mind, and spirit, Nordine holds a Master's Degree in Physical Education and several International personal fitness coaching certifications.

Nordine's personal passions are his family, his spirituality, exercise, reading, cooking, travel, and helping people around the world understand how to incorporate the mental, emotional and psychological sides for creating a successful life in balance.
