Nordine on TV
Watch Nordine on the special KVOA News 4 program "One-on-One". This is the first 15 minute segment of an in-depth interview with Sandy Rathbun. |
Twenty-four years later he was a champion bodybuilder, holding the titles of Mr. France, Mr. Europe, Mr. World and Mr. Universe simultaneously. In 1995 he came to the United States as an "alien of extraordinary ability" and settled in Tucson, Arizona, where Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa put him in charge of patients at Khaslsa International.
From Khalsa International, Nordine moved to the renowned Miraval Life In Balance--rated the #1 spa in the U.S. by Condé Nast Traveler, Zagat, Travel & Leisure and thousands of loyal visitors. He created Miraval's world-renowned fitness program and managed the fitness team for five years. Since 2004 he has been Miraval’s Professional Fitness Coach, working directly with clients to identify and change the negative patterns that are preventing them from attaining optimum health and fitness.
Over the past 20 years, Nordine has learned that simply wanting to be "thin" isn't enough. And in the process, he's discovered something astounding: the mental work his clients do before they start their diet and exercise plan is actually just as (if not more) important than the plan itself.
In addition to his deep understanding of how the mind works to influence the body and his belief in the benefits of balancing body, mind, and spirit, Nordine holds a master’s degree in physical education and an international personal training certification.
Today Nordine works with clients from all over the world, sharing his unique mental techniques and fitness secrets with celebrities, business magnates, and soccer moms alike, at Miraval and around the world. He lives in Oro Valley, Arizona, with his wife Keri and two young children.
