About me
Hi, I'm Siyahul. I love making people strong.
Strength coach, recovering yo-yo dieter and firm believer that anyone can learn to lift. Here's how I got here and how I coach.
12
years of coaching
My story
I coach people, not programmes.
I spent my twenties yo-yo dieting and bouncing between gym fads. What finally worked wasn't a secret: progressive strength training, enough protein, and someone who held me accountable when life got busy.
Eleven years and 300+ clients later, that's still the whole philosophy. I'll write your training around your schedule, teach you to eat without obsessing, and check in every week so you never have to wonder what to do next.
