His focus is on inclusive fitness and has since been published with the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).
After twenty years of competitive soccer, Arian wrapped up his soccer career in 2005 after 4-years as a starter on his highly competitive high school soccer team, and 3-years as a starter on both his college teams. He continues his involvement with the game through private lessons with youth of all ages, as well as training sessions with recreational teams in the Conway/Little Rock area, and Olympic Development teams. Arian has been working as a personal trainer for 18+years now, after being certified through The Cooper Institute in Dallas, Texas and more recently American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM-CPT). He continues to expand on his knowledge in the field through his education and experience. Recognizing that no person is the same, he enjoys the challenge that each new client brings, with their individual goals and personalities. Though he enjoys working with his clients, his ultimate goal is to instill in them and future clients the tools, knowledge, and self-motivation needed to continue healthy lifestyles, even when his time with them is complete. Arian, oversees the fitness center, recruitment and training of the floor staff, fitness assessment, and personal training staff, as well as many other programs run throughout the year at the HPER Fitness Center.
