Portsmouth, NH, Fitness Guru Featured on 'The Today Show'

Meet my best friend on planet earth, Eliza Shirazi.

I have known Eliza since she was growing in her mama's belly. If you listen to "Kira and Logan in the Morning", you have probably heard me mention her a time or two. She also guest co-hosted with me a few times before Logan started on the station. We were neighbors as kids in Leominster, Massachusetts, both went to UMASS Amherst, both lived in Boston for a few years after college, and wouldn't you know, we are neighbors once again here on the Seacoast! Are you sensing a theme here? For me, wherever Eliza is feels like home.

I have had the pleasure of watching my bestie grow her fitness brand from the ground up. It all started with her teaching cardio kick boxing at the rec center at UMASS Amherst in 2013. Now, 10 years later, she has certified over 300 instructors from around the world to teach her classes, and is able to reach people globally via her online platform. Over the years, she has kicked it for a cause and raised money for all kinds of important organizations that help underserved women rise up in their communities.

Eliza was featured on The Today Show (now they just call it TODAY) on Monday, May 22, 2023.

To say it was a thrill to see Eliza on national TV is the understatement of the century. I am so proud to know this strong, smart, hardworking woman! If you missed the segment live, they will have it available for a limited time on NBC.com.
