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.

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...

Living Out a Dream

 “Have you ever stopped and thought: “Wow. I prayed for this. It’s here. It’s happening.”? I recently received a message from an  old student from my very first school in Canada. It was a simple note, but it sparked reflection in me about where I’ve come from and everything that’s happened over the last 15–20 years. At my age, I often look around and see many of the people ( my age ) settling down; getting married, having kids, buying homes ( A dream for many, especially women. ). And sometimes, I can’t help but  ask myself: what am I doing with my life? However, that message from my former student reminded me of something I often forget: I’ve already been living a dream. When I left my first teaching job in Canada, it was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made. I absolutely loved my students, and together we had built a really special bond. But at that time, I had a dream to travel the world; to immerse myself in different cultures and to learn from people whose li...

Back on the Dubai running scene

  “The beauty of running is in its simplicity; just you, your breath, and the road ahead.” After a long hiatus, I finally made my return to the Dubai running race scene! When I first lived here between 2012 and 2017, I took part in many road races and absolutely loved the local running community. Even after moving to Vietnam, I kept the momentum going for a while, completing a few 10km, 21km and even a full marathon, especially in my first year there. But as I got more into CrossFit in 2018, running gradually took a back seat. Since then, I’ve continued to run, but without the same structure, purpose, or goals I once had. That all changed a couple of months ago when I decided to reignite my running spark and even joined a few run club sessions. I’ll be honest; those group runs have really pushed me out of my comfort zone! I’ve always loved a nice, long, slow run, but short and speedy intervals? Not so much. Still, being surrounded by people who share a similar mindset, who challeng...
