Testimonials

“Mahir is one of the best coaches I've worked with. He helped me hit 500lb deadlift and 300lb bench and other massive PRs over a 6-month period...while managing through my crazy work schedule, responsibilities taking care of a newborn, and juggling other sports. That’s why you pay a coach: to help you hit your goals despite the craziness of life. Strongly recommend.”






— Mohammad Alam

“I’ve been working with Mahir for 2 years now, and I can’t recommend him enough. Mahir is an empathetic and goal oriented trainer and nutritionist. He is always willing to listen to concerns and feedback and will incorporate that into his training. As context: I’m a new father and along with our bundle of joy I have lack of sleep. Mahir made sure my training accounted for that and with his guidance I was not only able to keep going to the gym but also make strength gains and lose weight. He is a fantastic coach and you can’t go wrong with him.”

— Navin Islam

“Mahir’s an incredibly competent trainer and licensed dietician. Specifically for me, I love the fact that he creates safe spaces in working with queer, neurospicy, POC women. He also uses science based programming to help me reach my sport specific strength goals. Couldn’t have benched a plate like a true big bench baddie without investing in a coach like him. 10/10 recommend!”
