Whether she’s leading workouts, educating on wellness, or taking fitness to unexpected platforms like Formula 1 Jeddah and the Red Sea Film Festival, Hana is redefining what it means to be healthy in the modern world.
“Fitness is for everyone. It’s not just about the gym—it’s about energy, confidence, and feeling your best in your daily life.” Says Hana Z Baswari
With a foot in both the UK and the GCC, Hana understands the delicate balance between tradition and modernity, which has fueled her success in creating inclusive, culturally relevant fitness content. The GCC fitness industry is evolving at breakneck speed, yet outdated perceptions still linger. Hana’s mission? To break down barriers and show people that wellness can be personalized, accessible, and empowering.
Ranking #1 in Saudi Arabia, her widespread influence boils down to three key factors: authenticity, adaptability, and consistency. “People connect with real stories,” she says. “I’ve always made it a priority to share my journey in a way that’s relatable and inspiring.” By staying ahead of trends and listening to her audience, she ensures her content stays relevant and impactful.
Hana’s involvement in global events has given her a powerful platform to promote fitness in communities where it might not traditionally be prioritized. “I want to break the misconception that fitness is for a certain type of person,” she explains. “Everyone, regardless of background or lifestyle, can benefit from movement.”
To those just starting their fitness journey, Hana’s advice is simple: start small, be consistent, and be kind to yourself. “Fitness isn’t a competition—it’s a personal journey. Find movement that excites you, and don’t let societal expectations dictate your success.”
Through her work, Hana is proving that fitness isn’t just about aesthetics or performance—it’s about cultivating confidence, breaking stereotypes, and ultimately, living your best life.
