Aesha Tahir, MS, ACSM-CEP, NASM-CES
Exercise Physiologist · Princeton Longevity Center
Clinical exercise physiology and corrective exercise for posture, desk-work strain, and longevity programming
About
Aesha Tahir, MS, ACSM-CEP, NASM-CES is an exercise physiologist at PLC's Princeton headquarters. She holds an MS in Exercise Science from Concordia University Chicago, the ACSM Clinical Exercise Physiologist credential, and NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist training. Her public work is built around busy professionals: she founded Tone and Strengthen Wellness, hosts the 9 to 5 Wellness podcast, hosts PowerUp Longevity, and wrote Unhunched, a book on posture and desk-worker wellness.
What to Know
Signature approach
Tahir uses PLC diagnostics as the input for movement planning. DEXA can guide strength and bone-health work, cardiac CT and stress testing shape aerobic dose, and RMR informs energy-balance strategy. Her corrective-exercise specialty adds posture, compensation, and desk-work strain to the standard exercise-physiology consult, which fits PLC's executive-health audience.
What sets them apart
- ACSM-CEP plus NASM-CES. Clinical exercise physiology and corrective exercise give her both medical and movement-quality lenses.
- Busy-professional platform. Book, podcasts, speaking, and corporate wellness work all target the same desk-bound population PLC often serves.
- Diagnostic translation. Her role turns test results into practical exercise and posture changes.
Before You Book
- Care focus. Desk-bound professionals, posture issues, corrective exercise, and exercise plans tied to DEXA, stress testing, and RMR.
- How it fits. Recommendations plug into the physician and dietitian workflow rather than standing alone.
- Related care. If tactical strength or cardiac-stress testing is the main need, compare with Louis Degnan, MS.
