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.

Mirror, Mirror

  “I could try to be just like you, but I wanna be like me - the girl in the mirror.” Have you ever looked at a picture of yourself and thought “YIKES!”? Of course you have! We all have! We can all get a little self-critical from time to time, can’t we? I’ll be honest, I don’t often love seeing pictures of myself, especially those really close up, like selfies. Every image seems to amplify my insecurities and highlight “ flaws ” that I wish would disappear. I’m a pretty simple girl—no make-up, no heels, just me as I am, and I find that the world often holds up a different standard of beauty for females, one that's heavily curated and polished. My negative thoughts can weigh heavily at times, and social media ( with all its’ filters ) only magnifies those feelings of self-doubt. Over the last year, I’ve taken a number of selfies or mirror pictures. Some were taken to capture moments during my solo trips, some were taken to track physical changes influenced by diet, training and r...

Fly Away

  “Until you spread your wings, you’ll never know how far you can fly.” For as long as I can remember, there has been a relentless pull within me; a desire to fly away, to explore beyond the boundaries of familiarity, and to immerse myself in the cultural richness of our world. It all started over 15 years ago with a pivotal moment: my first international trip to the Dominican Republic for humanitarian purposes. Little did I know then that this remarkable trip ( *along with teaching in a challenging multicultural school ) would set the stage for a life defined by adventure, discovery, and personal growth. Since that transformative experience, my life has been a whirlwind of movement and exploration. I've been blessed with the opportunity to experience living and working abroad, both in the UAE and in Vietnam, and along the way, I've had the privilege to traverse more than 40 countries, each offering its own unique blend of culture, history, landscape and perspective.

The runner in me

“Mind over miles.” A few years back, I was all in. I was that person signing up for every race that came across my radar—10K’s, half-marathons, marathons—you name it. The thrill of crossing the finish line, the camaraderie at the starting line, the way the crowds cheered you on, it was all so energizing. I didn’t even need music to get through a run, even a whole 42km marathon, which, I know, sounds crazy to most people. But there I was, in my zone, taking it all in and doing something I enjoyed. I collected lots of medals and racked up plenty of podium finishes, but most importantly I had some memorable international races, and met tons of amazing people along the way. I discovered that running was a really accessible sport; all you needed was a pair of shoes and the will to go. I could literally show up to a race, put one foot in front of the other, and—boom—be part of a community of people all working toward the same goal. So, what happened? Why did I stop running? For me, it came d...
