Meet Your Coach

Elite experience.
Scientific method.

Most trainers have read about high performance. Mohamed has lived it — competing in international championships and World Cup qualifiers, where preparation is measured in split seconds and there's no room for guesswork.

As a CrossFit and Hyrox coach, he pairs that real-world discipline with structured, evidence-based programming. Every program starts with how you move, then builds strength, speed, and resilience progressively — the same structured approach used to develop elite players, scaled to your level and your goals.

"The standard doesn't change. The starting point does."

From youth athletes building their foundation to adults chasing strength, performance, or a return to sport, Mohamed has designed over 100 customized training programs and coached dozens of clients to a 95% satisfaction rate — with coaching available fluently in English, French, and Arabic.

Services

Built for performance,
at every level

Four coaching specialties, one standard: CrossFit and Hyrox training, preparation for elite competitors, and development for young athletes — every program designed around your body, your sport, and your goals, never copied from a template.

CrossFit Coaching

Functional strength, gymnastics skills, and high-intensity conditioning — coached with elite technique standards, not just intensity for its own sake.

  • Barbell, gymnastics & metabolic conditioning
  • WODs scaled to your level, progressed week to week
  • Technique coached on every movement

Hyrox Training

Race-specific preparation for the Hyrox format — so the sled, the wall balls, and the final run all feel like training you've already done.

  • Sled push & pull, wall balls, ski & row erg work
  • Running intervals built around the stations
  • Race strategy, pacing & fast transitions

Elite Athlete Preparation

High-performance preparation for competitive athletes — drawn from international championships and World Cup qualifiers, built around your competition calendar.

  • Speed, power & agility development
  • In-season and off-season periodization
  • Sport-specific strength & conditioning

Youth Athlete Preparation

Age-appropriate foundations for young athletes — movement quality first, so they build strength and speed safely and keep developing for years.

  • Movement quality & coordination first
  • Age-appropriate strength & speed work
  • Long-term athletic development, done safely

How It Works

A proven process,
not random workouts

The same assess–build–progress cycle Mohamed uses with competitive athletes, applied to every client.

01

Assess

Start with a consultation and a functional movement screening. We map how you move, what you've done before, and exactly what you want to achieve.

02

Build

You get a customized program — one of 100+ Mohamed has designed — built on proven, evidence-based methods and periodized around your schedule and goals.

03

Progress

Train with hands-on coaching, measured benchmarks, and regular re-screening. Loads, speed, and complexity advance as you do — no plateaus by accident.

Who I Train

From first session
to first team

Programs scale from youth athletes learning to move well, to adults who want to train with intent.

Youth Athletes

Age-appropriate strength, speed, and movement foundations that build confident, resilient young athletes — and protect them as they grow.

Competitive Athletes

Performance programming for players who need to be faster, stronger, and ready on game day — built by someone who has been there.

Adults & General Fitness

Strength, conditioning, and sustainable habits for adults at any starting point — coached with the same rigor, minus the intimidation.

FAQ

Common questions

Mohamed is based in the Washington DC / Northern Virginia area and coaches clients across the region. Book a consultation to talk through the best setup for you.
Not at all. Clients range from youth athletes to adults who have never trained before. Every program starts with a movement screening and is scaled to your current level — the methods are elite, the starting point is yours.
Your first step is a consultation and functional movement screening: how you squat, hinge, push, pull, and move. From there, Mohamed designs your customized program and walks you through exactly how it will progress.
English, French, and Arabic — fluently. Train, ask questions, and get coached in whichever language you're most comfortable in.
Yes — youth athlete development is a specialty. Training emphasizes movement quality, age-appropriate strength work, and speed development, so young athletes build a foundation that lasts.
