About
With 17+ years as a Master Fitness & Pilates Trainer—and 10 years as a professional basketball player for the Turkish National Team—I bring expert coaching and real athletic experience to every session.
Since 2009, I’ve helped people build strength, confidence, and sustainable results through personalized training. We’ll start with posture analysis and fitness assessments, then create a plan tailored to your goals—fat loss, muscle gain, or overall fitness—whether you’re a beginner or experienced.
I’m not just your trainer, I’m your accountability partner. Progress is reassessed regularly so we stay on track and keep you moving forward.
I also own MATS Boston, a boutique studio offering semi-private training (up to 10 people).
- Studio sessions: $95/hour
- In-home training: $150/hour
Let’s unlock your full potential—together 💪✨

I worked with Zeyna last year when I needed the most help. I was in a bad shape after the injuries and lack of mobility.
She heard my story, understood what was going on and came up with a plan to get me back on track. She will work with you to even modify the plan when needed according to the situation.
She is great at training and even fixed the problems I ran into while I was working out by myself by teaching me some stretches that I never knew existed :-)
I recommend her for anyone - be it if you want to get pain free, if you want to build your body, if you want to improve your mobility.

Zeyna has been my personaltrainer for more than 2 months now. She has been more than what I had expected and has made such a positive impact into fitness and wellness journey in such a short time. My experience with her has been transformational. I came to her with a significant neck/ shoulder pain and posture misalignment where I would wake up in pain every morning. After being trained by her, I am almost pain free and actually enjoy doing my workouts whereas previously I used to dread going to gym and workouts. Her personal attention and willingness to work and train you in the right way and her knowledge about kinesiology is over the top! I strongly recommend her as your personaltrainer and your journey into fitness and wellness will be taken to the next level.

I have worked with Zeyna for the last four weeks and she has surpassed my expectations. Not only is she helpful, compassionate and caring. She is extremely knowledgeable about muscle groups and how not to hurt yourself.
I feel so much stronger after working with her consistently for the last four weeks and intend on continuing. If health matters to you or if you have any kind of muscular issues she is the right person to have a consultation with at least.
She is flexible, punctual delightful and very knowledgeable.

I just started working with Zeynep, and I’m so grateful I am! She has been super attentive and understanding through the process! She pushes me to do my best while teaching me about different exercises and healthy choices! I also love the options between personaltraining and group sessions. I am excited to keep working with her!

Zeyna is a phenomenal trainer who truly cares! This is my first time ever training at the gym, and when I started working out i used to be someone who finds gyms super intimidating. But her warm and approachable demeanour has made it feel very comfortable and a lot of fun!
In just 3 weeks of staying consistent with her workouts, i have already started to lose weight, feel stronger and witnessed a notable difference in my mood through the the day.
She is very punctual and plans my workouts before the session starts. This helps us start every session on a positive note. Beyond the gym, she is a constant source of motivation, encouraging healthy choices even on our off days. Her commitment to my progress extends to post workout relief, as she is always ready with a massage gun for those sore muscles.
Training with her has become something i eagerly look forward to, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated trainer!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, I do the posture analysis , body measurements and strengtht and cardio endurance test. After the first assessment I create a training plan. If you are a beginner we start with anatomic adaptation. After that, whatever our goal is (Gaining muscles or losing fat) we start working out on that plan. In every 2 months or 20 workout we do the assessment again to see the improvements
