Sami moved to Los Angeles with her brother, but the space still seemed overwhelming because she didn’t know many other people. Fitness classes have become a way to socialize, and that’s why the fitness space has become a big part of her life. To date, Sami’s combined subscribers have grown to more than 800,000 on Instagram and YouTube, channels that mostly consist of “what I eat in a day” and workout videos.
“I went straight to my workouts, it was something super organic for me,” she said of starting a workout regimen in Los Angeles.

Meditation, sunshine, and eating nutritious foods that fuel your body are all important aspects of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. She wants to promote forming the best version of yourself for her audience, but always aims to maintain a sense of authenticity and remind her followers that they’re still human.
