What we believe

Who we are and what BIA represents

Our commitment is to provide women with a top-notch fitness coaching service, comprehensive nutrition education, and a supportive community – all at an affordable price, empowering them to thrive and unlock their full potential.

OUR BELIEFS

As an acronym, BIA stands for: Boundless Intentional Action

As a symbol, BIA represents the greek goddess BIA.

“BIA was the goddess of force, power, might, bodily strength and compulsion. Bia is a quiet and stoic goddess, who is usually silent in the myths. She appears as a beautiful, youthful, radiant and powerful goddess… on her guard and always ready in the face of battle.”

BIA Athletic Club transcends typical fitness apps or workout programs – it embodies a lifestyle, motivating us to take action daily.
