Aaron Powers – Physique Development, Golf Strength and Mobility
Hi! My name is Aaron Powers. I am from Sacramento originally but have found my home here in beautiful Folsom. From a young age, my family and I were always active, from spending time running around in the backyard, riding bikes, lots of basketball, skateboarding, to eventually discovering the bench press at the age of 15. Once I tried it I was hooked! And so for the last 25 years, fitness has been my thing and I love doing it! I found lots of benefits to exercise, including the physical, mental, and emotional and with how much research is available to confirm the profound changes that can occur, not only with our body and mind, but the positive ripple effect it can have on the rest of our life and those we share it with. The changes we seek in our body, whether it be for muscle growth, cardio training, core development, or just wanting to tone up, are all possible and you can make it happen! I have continued my studies of fitness and achieved my NASM NCCA accredited certificate as a personal trainer, CPR/AED certified, as well as currently completing a NASM nutrition course. I have also collaborated with a local golf coach Dan Awe (https://www.instagram.com/awegolf/) We have designed specific workouts to help add more power and mobility to your game!
Dan is a 3D Body Motion expert, a former long drive competitor, a short game & putting specialist with 15,000 lessons given.
With my personal philosophy being “always a student,” I’m excited to continue my journey of learning about health and wellness and I hope to be a part of your journey as we work together to achieve your goals!

Nasser Niavaroni – Boxing – Strength and Conditioning
Founded in 1996 by Nasser Niavaroni, Upper Cut Promotions is the longest operating combat sports company in Northern California, having promoted over 40 professional events at various different casinos, event centers and ballrooms, as well as the legendary Sacramento Memorial Auditorium.
Over the years, Upper Cut Promotions’ events have served as the launching pad for the top professional boxers from the region. Sacramento area fighters such as Brandon Gonzales and Stan Martyniouk began their careers on Upper Cut cards before performing on premium cable outlets such as HBO, while eventual IBF world light flyweight champion Ava Knight made her debut with Upper Cut in 2007.
In addition to featuring the region’s top young talent on the rise, Upper Cut Promotions has also promoted bouts featuring former world and regional champions. Former IBF world cruiserweight champion Kelvin Davis, former IBA world middleweight champion Eric Regan, former USBA light heavyweight champion Otis Griffin and former WBC USNBC super middleweight champion Mike Guy among other former champions have been featured in headline events.
In December of 2009, Upper Cut Promotions reopened the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium to boxing for the first time in several years, as former WBC world heavyweight champion Oleg Maskaev made a return to his adopted hometown to meet Nagy Aguilera. Maskaev already had a scheduled bout with the reigning champion Vitali Klitschko in the offing before Aguilera scored a knockout victory that many considered the upset of the year and only added another chapter to the lore of the legendary venue.
Prior to the rise in popularity of mixed martial arts, professional kickboxing was the other top professional combat sport in the United States. In May of 1998, Upper Cut Promotions hosted the ISKA world heavyweight championship bout between Dennis Alexio and Achillo Roger at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. 3,500 were in attendance and demand for adult beverages was so that the venue had to stop serving by the third bout, due to supply shortage.
As public tastes have changed, Upper Cut has changed with the times, hosting hybrid events that sometimes feature professional boxing, mixed martial arts and kickboxing on the same night.
About Nasser Niavaroni
In addition to creating and operating Upper Cut Promotions, Nasser Niavaroni has been coaching and training combat sports for over thirty years. Niavaroni has experience training wrestling, strength and power training, kickboxing and boxing. Prior to opening his own gym in 1991, Niavaroni trained clients at Body and Power and Gold’s Gym.

Tiffany Cooke – Personal Trainer in Folsom
My name is Tiffany and I have been a personal trainer for over 12 years. My fitness journey started when I was 20. I grew up in a broken household naturally that came with its struggles as a young adult. I became overweight, overwhelmed, in pain, constantly tired and sick. At that point I decided to hire a trainer, hit the gym and give myself what I really deserved. As I lost 40lbs I found myself pain free. A life filled with Self worth, love, happiness and health. Since I was a little girl I aways wanted to help people. I could never figure out how I wanted to help up until I lost my weight. I knew right then I wanted to be a personal trainer. I took a huge leap of faith and put all my efforts into my education. With that I chose to live out of my car for a year. This was to focus on my studies instead of working multiple jobs to afford a home. That determination made me a stronger person. My goal as a personal trainer is to help educate others on nutrition, how to use equipment and how to be in tune with your body. Provide you tools that can be used for life. Fitness isn’t just about how you look, it’s also how you mentally feel. Working out provides clarity, manages depression and anxiety. Being sick, tired and in pain all the time is no way to live. Helping my clients find the best version of themselves brings me a lot of joy.
