About Us

Hi, I’m Vanessa Kafieh — founder and head coach of APX Physiques.

​

I’m a retired national-level gymnast, nationally qualified competitive bodybuilder, and someone who’s learned firsthand what it means to rebuild from the ground up.

​

After years of pushing my body to its limits through elite athletics and bodybuilding, I realized the most powerful transformations happen not just in the gym, but in your mind and your life. I created APX Physiques to help people who are starting over — whether it’s after addiction, heartbreak, or hitting rock bottom — and need real structure, support, and a way forward.

​

I hold a degree in Neuroscience, and I’ve completed a range of advanced courses focused on the mind-body connection, human behaviour, and physical transformation. My coaching blends real-life experience with science-backed strategies to create lasting, meaningful change — inside and out.

​

With over 5 years of experience coaching high-level athletes, and a deep understanding of nutrition, supplementation, and full-body recomposition, I help clients not just change their bodies, but rebuild their confidence, identity, and sense of control.

​

With APX, this isn’t just about looking good. It’s about feeling strong, clear, and capable — in every part of your life.

​

Why I Do This

​

Because I’ve been where you are.
Because I know what it’s like to fight your way back.
Because you deserve a coach who sees the whole you — not just your macros and your workout split.

Let’s rebuild through iron.
Let’s make this your comeback
