Arin Cahee Unfiltered: Part 1 with Arin Cahee

Welcome back, fit fam! In this soul-filled episode, Jami and Greg sit down with the remarkable Arin Cahee—an IFBB pro, personal trainer, and fierce middle child with a story that’s as powerful as her biceps.

Arin opens up about her humble beginnings in Northern California, growing up in a tight-knit family where resilience and hard work were the norm. With her dad as her basketball coach and her mom commuting hours daily to provide for the family, Arin learned early on the value of discipline, perseverance, and showing up even when it’s hard.

From chasing basketballs to crushing bodybuilding competitions, Arin’s path has been paved with love, struggle, sweat, and the constant desire to make her people proud.

Her voice is warm, her presence magnetic, and her commitment to lifting others—especially women just starting their fitness journey—is nothing short of inspiring. If you’re looking for a story that reminds you why you started, this one’s for you.
