He runs a fitness franchising business, The Camp Transformation Center, with 110 locations that focus on transforming people's lives physically & mentally through exercise and nutrition.

He is also the author of the popular books The Total Body Transformation Secrets and Becoming a One Percenter.
Also, he is a champion bodybuilder with 23 major bodybuilding titles including Mr. Orange County, Mr. Pittsburgh, Mr. California, Emerald Cup, Tournament of Champions, as well as placing runner up in Mr. USA. He has over 18 years’ experience in coaching professional, collegiate, and recreational athletes from all sports. Currently, Sam is a hands-on father of two beautiful girls, and passionate about coaching and mentoring young and upcoming entrepreneurs that need to see the bigger picture.
Dr. Bakhtiar has grown up in a culture that looked down on entrepreneurs; therefore, he got his chiropractor degree and opened a gym because he wanted to transform people’s lives. But Sam can’t transform the people without transforming himself first to boost his self-confidence. This led him to become a professional bodybuilder and later a champion not just in bodybuilding but in all areas of his life.
Sam saw his family members and friends start something but never did anything, thus he hated people who plan a lot without action. He didn’t let them influence him. Sam is all about thinking big and doing things one step at a time. He concentrates on what is in front of him, and is present at the moment. Execute daily to get not far in front of you.
Moreover, Sam always goes back to gratitude and attacks the problem with the plan. According to him, you’ve got to plan your life. You’ve got to live by design and not by default because you just can’t wake up and win things. You’ve got to be intentional with everything, with your faith, with your fitness, with your finances, with your family, always have fun, and let loose. If you’re not going to do these you’ll be totally imbalanced.
You’ve got to master your time, master your productivity, so you can master your life. So, when things go wrong, don’t lose hope but strive hard to stand up. There’s always a bright side of things. Don’t play like a victim of your failure, but put an action plan, see what you can do, what to give up, what needs to be adjusted, and execute the plan daily.
Embrace every second of your journey and your failures. The problems present a way for you to grow, and it will make you a better person. Without adversity, without obstacles, life is not worth living, and it will be boring.
On the other side, you have to have respect for money so that money will respect you. You’ve got to be militant with your budget and time management. There is a time and place for everything. It just becomes your decision that you want to get yourself to the next level but comes with the discipline of sticking to it.
“Stay focused on what you want to achieve and be relentless.”
