OUR TEAM

Clara ALBORS

Owner, Physical Therapist

Dr. Clara attended the University of Miami for undergraduate and graduate school, finishing with her doctorate in May 2018. She is originally from Davidson, NC but after seven years in Miami, moved to Asheville for her love of the mountains and smaller cities. Growing up as a ballerina, she had to overcome several of her own injuries. Unfortunately, she was generally frustrated with therapists not understanding the demands of her active lifestyle, making her want to become a physical therapist for active people. Finding MADabolic in 2019, she found a new passion for strength training and coaching. Outside of work, Dr. Clara loves to hike, travel around the world, practice yoga, crochet, cuddle her dogs, and has attempted several new hobbies including rock climbing and shuffle dancing.

zaida sykes

Physical Therapist

Dr. Zaida attended MCPHS University for undergrad and University of Miami for her doctorate, finishing in 2018, when she also completed Pilates Teacher Training. In 2019, Zaida and her husband purchased a tiny home and pursued their dream as travel PTs, where they work mainly in MA and CA. Zaida gave birth to her first son in 2023. Luckily, she was able to strength train throughout pregnancy, as well as after her recovery from an unavoidable c-section, inspiring her to want to help other women during their pre- and postnatal journeys. Zaida enjoys hiking, yoga, shuffle dancing, hooping, wood burning and music festivals. Recently, she started an electronic music brand “Trance & Techno” which is a source for sharing music, exploring the history of the genres and spotlights artists who post videos shuffling to this music.
