Sam has always had a passion for fitness. "Pursuing a career as a trainer was a natural progression," Sam wrote on his website. "My family immigrated to the United States from Iran. They worked hard so I could have a life in America with more opportunities. I made a promise to myself to make the most of their commitment, and be the best version of myself while helping as many people as I can along the way."
In 2020, he launched his Asghari Fitness program in hopes of "changing lives" and "helping others grow." Sam lists Cristiano Ronaldo and Dwayne Johnson as his fitness idols.
