I'm Hatice.

I create evidence-based fitness content for people who want sustainable results — not quick fixes, shortcuts, or fitness myths that don’t hold up in real life.

You might pause at the name Fitness Gurusu and wonder what kind of confidence it takes to call oneself a “guru.” That’s a fair question. We often use the word to describe someone who claims mastery or absolute knowledge. But its original meaning is different. In Sanskrit, guru refers to a teacher who guides — someone who helps others find clarity rather than authority.

That perspective shapes everything I do.

For me, fitness is not about rigid rules, perfect plans, or one-size-fits-all solutions. It’s about understanding how the body actually works, using science as a guide, and adapting that knowledge to real people with real lives.

Here, you’ll find science-based content on exercise and healthy living. I intentionally avoid claims like “this one move burns fat here” or “this formula works for everyone.” Instead, I start with what research shows, acknowledge what it doesn’t, and focus on what is realistic, sustainable, and meaningful over time.

My goal is simple: to make exercise feel less intimidating and more approachable — not by oversimplifying science, but by translating it into tools people can genuinely use in their everyday lives.

Alongside content creation, I continue to work actively as a fitness trainer. Theory matters, but only if it holds up outside textbooks and studies. If an idea works on paper but fails with real people, it doesn’t belong in practice.

This approach comes from both education and experience. I completed my undergraduate studies at Marmara University, Faculty of Sport Sciences, and went on to earn a master’s degree in exercise science at the Institute of Health Sciences, Marmara University. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a fitness trainer both online and in person, combining academic knowledge with long-term, real-world practice.

Fitness Gurusu is not about having all the answers. It’s about asking better questions — and walking alongside others as they learn to move, train, and live better.
