Meet the Head Coaches

Vahid Moavenzadeh
Co-Owner & Head Gymnastics Coach

My name is Vahid Moavenzadeh, and I'm one of the owners here at Unify! I've been coaching since 2012, and although I didn't grow up in the sport, I completely fell in love with the way it challenges both body and mind on a level few other sports do. Being in awe of the young people I work with every day is a special experience I don’t take for granted.

Outside of the gym, I'm pursuing my Master's in Social Work at UNC-Chapel Hill, with the goal of becoming a therapist alongside coaching and gym management. I also run a small micro-finance project in Honduras, helping young adults who grew up in orphanages build financial stability through small business ownership.

My rare bits of "hobby time" have gone toward writing memoir-style essays (maybe one day there will be a book to share)!

My amazing wife is a family medicine resident at Duke. Life is busy, we don't see each other nearly enough, but we both deeply love what we do - and isn't that worth just about everything?
