As the owner of Workoutmaster, Aram Hovsepian is a unique Corrective Exercise Specialist & Nutrition and Lifestyle Coach who teaches cutting-edge exercise programs and holistic nutrition. Certified by the world-renowned C.H.E.K. Institute, in San Diego, CA, Aram works with the whole person. Total fitness...energy, balance, strength, nutrition and more.

Training hundreds of people, from beginners to Ironman athletes, he looks at each person as a complete entity (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) and is highly-qualified to assess and stabilize those problem areas that need correcting. Efficiently. Effectively. And he does it with no machines, no classes, no cliches and no tried-but-not-necessarily-true techniques.

This is not the "same old-same old" and Aram is not the typical "whip you into shape gym instructor." He creates a custom program of fitness for clients at every level of conditioning. He offers a lifestyle of well-being...and he guides you toward achieving it.

Born in Yerevan, Armenia, in 1971, Aram was raised and educated in Moscow, where he lived until re-locating to New York in 1991.

Aram's interest in physical fitness began when he started weight-lifting at the age of 14; it became his career when he worked as a personal trainer at the Peninsula Spa, one of the most prestigious and exclusive spas in New York City and at Plus One NY, the fitness management company that operates fitness facilities for such investment firms as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers, etc.

Then his career became his passion. He moved to California and worked as an independent personal trainer at Evolution Fitness and No Excuses Fitness. In 2003 Aram created his own exercise facility, Workoutmaster, in Pasadena, CA. In 2007 he moved to Greater Miami area to be closer with the rest of his family.

While "passion" is a natural pre-requisite for C.H.E.K. practitioners, it is really just the beginning. The Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology Institute (C.H.E.K.) is an elite educational and corrective exercise centre that is recognized as a world leader in functional and rehabilitative exercise by exercise and health professionals alike.

C.H.E.K. certification requires time and effort and dedication; it demands study and education. Aram completed a rigorous training at the Institute and through books and seminars, he continues to open his mind to new ideas and exciting possibilities. Certification demands a commitment to both the science and to the clients who are coached in it. It also promotes that all C.H.E.K. professionals "lead by example." Quoting from their philosophy, "C.H.E.K. practitioners...are taught that information only becomes knowledge when that information is used to change the lives of others for the better."

Aram is a paragon of the C.H.E.K. professional; he shares his knowledge to enhance the lives of his clients and he inspires them to reach their goals. "Everything is possible..." he says, "you only have to put your mind to it." It's a "can do" attitude backed by wide-based skills and practical experience. And he will provide you with an individual and innovative lifestyle program to ensure that you do it!
