HEALTHY LIVING AND EDUCATING THE YOUNGER GENERATION

Omar
Here is his story...
I was once told to find what you are passionate about, work hard at it, and dedicate your life to it. “To thine own self be true” was the line I inherited from my professor as the lesson of life, which related to everything I did from professional to personal. I have been fortunate enough to be part of many projects all of which mean a lot to me. Health, nutrition, exercise, coaching, lifestyle, and getting the best out of people is what I love to do.
I believe reaching peak and optimal performance at any level is truly rewarding as life is all about achieving and defying the odds. That is why I chose to leave home to provide a facility in Dubai for the Middle East. I am co-founder of Platform 3 Fitness (www.p3dubai.com) in Dubai Marina, where we use personal training, physiotherapy, and nutrition as three Platforms to encourage and promote a healthy lifestyle. There, we create the right formula by developing programs for each individual personally which ultimately promotes longevity, variety, and sustainability without overcomplicating the matter.
I gained my BSC Degree in Sports and Exercise Science at St Mary's University of Surrey and my Nutrition degree at Steadford University, practiced my craft as a PE Teacher in West London King Fahad Academy, and many other roles helped shape the direction I chose to follow.
During a trip to Thailand, Phuket, I trained Muai Thai and Boxing as a discipline, and it truly opened my eyes to a whole new world of training and living, which I could incorporate into daily life.
When I moved from London to Dubai, it became a place I like to call a home away from home. In my time here, I have coached both women and men's football teams. With strong beliefs in grassroots and educating the youth, I heavily campaigned for healthier school lunches across the UAE schools and created my own Healthy Lunch Box menu. In 2015 I embarked on a project with the U20 Ghana National Football Team as a Physical Trainer in Senegal to compete at the African Nations Cup and qualify for the World Cup 2015 in New Zealand.
For me, building the character within people, self-confidence, and self-belief are huge steps towards a better lifestyle. Motivation is key and at times, we all require someone to believe in us, inspire us, and lay down a foundation for us to build upon. I offer one-on-one training in order to achieve personal results and use innovative methods to great effect. If you are unable to commit to private sessions, there are plenty of other ways you can use my formulas to get on track. You can experience a taste of my training techniques through my monthly editorial workout tips and following my suggestions in the media including Shape, Sport 360, Alpha Magazine, and on my social media platforms. 
I recently returned from New Zealand from the Under 20 FIFA World Cup where I was working as a Physical Trainer with the Ghana U20 National Football Team.

Locked in.

“ The successful warrior is the average (wo)man , with laser-like focus. ” Life’s been feeling a little dull lately, but there’s one thing keeping me fired up; the experience of a lifetime is just around the corner. In just four weeks, I’ll be heading to Chicago to compete in the Hyrox World Championships, and I’m locked in. For many competitive and athletic kids, the dream is to make it to the Olympics or stand on a world championship stage in their sport. While Hyrox may not be the Olympics, for me, this is kind of that moment. This is my ‘world stage’; I can’t wait to soak it all in and add it to the list of things I’m proud of. This idea sort of started on my 40th birthday this year. While most people celebrate with a party and cake or a getaway, I made a wild choice: I booked my place in the Hyrox World Championships with my doubles partner. Bold? Definitely. Crazy? Probably. Worth it? Without a doubt. The last time I pushed myself this hard was back in 2019 when I trained for a C...

In a World Full of Noise, Let’s Show Understanding

“Not everyone processes uncertainty the same way, and that’s okay.” The past few days have been unexpected. What started as a normal Saturday - coaching at the gym, breakfast with a friend, catching up on work with the TV on in the background - quickly changed when I heard a loud “boom” coming from outside my apartment. At first, many of us in the community assumed it came from one of the many nearby construction sites. But, within the next few hours, the loud sounds came again and again, and word spread that these were missiles and drones being intercepted in the sky. I’ve always felt safe here in the UAE, and believe it or not, to a certain extent, I still do. Like many other residents here, I have a lot of trust in the country I’ve chosen to call home for over 11 years. I’ve seen it overcome challenges in the past, such as COVID and floods, and I’ve witnessed how much the leadership cares for the residents, particularly over the last few days.  That said, it’s no secret that I a...

Momentum Reset

"Momentum doesn’t just return; you rebuild it, one choice at a time." Before summer began, I was feeling a little low. The tipping point came when I found out my HYROX competition partner’s visa had been denied, meaning we wouldn’t be able to compete at the HYROX World Championships in Chicago. Deep down, I knew it wasn’t the end of the world, but I was still pretty bummed. I thrive when I have a goal, something to work toward, and for nearly two months, I’d been all-in. That training gave me momentum, purpose and energy. When that goal disappeared, so did my drive. Suddenly, my energy shifted in the wrong direction. I slipped into autopilot, stuck in the routine of daily life, work, and thought patterns that were becoming more and more negative. Social media didn’t help. It felt like everyone else was out there doing so much, and I had nothing exciting happening. I would catch myself comparing and as my thoughts spiraled, my body started responding, and not in a good way. Th...
