Mai Elsamahy: Studio Fit Chicago's April Star
At Studio Fit Chicago, we celebrate women who show up, put in the work, and inspire others through consistency and heart. This April, we’re thrilled to spotlight Mai Elsamahy (known to friends as Mayouya), whose journey of building physical and mental resilience makes her a true inspiration to our SFC community.
Nickname
Mai's Chicago Favorites
When she’s not crushing workouts in the studio, Mai has some wonderful Chicago recommendations to share. Her go-to restaurant is the delightful Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba for Spanish tapas and vibrant atmosphere, while Cafe Istanbul satisfies her cravings for authentic Mediterranean flavors. When it’s time for something sweet, you’ll find her at Vanille Patisserie, savoring their exquisite French pastries.
The Studio Fit Experience Through Mai's Eyes
A Journey of Strength and Balance
For Mai, joining the Studio Fit Boss Year has brought profound results that go far beyond the physical. Her favorite outcome? “Getting comfortable with weight exercises and constant reminder of how much stronger and resilient the body and mind are.”
This is the transformation we love to see—not just building physical strength, but discovering an inner resilience that carries into every aspect of life. Mai’s journey proves that when you challenge your body consistently, you unlock a mental fortitude you may not have known you possessed.
What’s on Carrie’s Playlist?
Mai’s workout soundtrack is all about the mood! While nothing specific comes to mind as a current favorite, one of her go-to mood boosters is “3 Daquat.” Otherwise, she opts for the soothing sounds of piano melodies to keep her centered and focused during her workouts.
Mai, your dedication to building both physical and mental strength is truly inspiring. You’ve shown our community that resilience isn’t just something we’re born with—it’s something we build, rep by rep, class by class. Thank you for being such a wonderful example of consistency and growth!

Symptoms of Perimenopause?
We’re Here to Help!
Perimenopause is simply a natural transition in a woman’s life, yet let’s be honest; when hormones start doing the tango, it can feel anything but “simple.” That’s where supportive fitness and nutrition can make all the difference. At Studio Fit Chicago, we help you adapt to these changes so you can keep conquering your day without missing a beat (or a squat).
Nutritional GUidance and Support for Holistic Health
Exercise is important, but it’s only part of the picture. Every woman’s body is different, and so are her nutrition needs. Boost energy, lose fat, build strength, or just feel more in control of your health, we got you. A strong semi-private training program goes beyond workouts. It should include a look at your current eating habits, with practical guidance around nutrient timing, and balanced meal.
