Auva Abedini
Auva is a Certified Super Slow Strength Therapist with over a year of hands on training experience.
Her journey into Strength Therapy began in 2022, when she weighed 230 pounds and was facing thyroid deficiency, hormonal imbalance, and a prediabetes diagnosis.
After discovering the work of Mike Mentzer, Arthur Jones, and the Super Slow methodology, she transformed her health by losing over 90 pounds and reversing her prediabetes.
Through this process, Auva developed a deep respect for the precision, safety, and effectiveness of Super Slow strength training and discovered a passion for guiding others through their own healing and strength building process.
