About
I am an international and Olympic sprinter who specialises in the sprint and hurdles events. Having competed in an array of international fixtures including the 2012 Olympic Games, 2010 Commonwealth Games, World championships, volunteering in the 2022 Birmingham commonwealth games as a performer, and African Championships, as well as training at the Senegal high performance training centre for 2 years on an Olympic Scholarship, I know how to bring a whole new dynamic to the training game.

I hold a level 2 UKA coach licence, level 3 personal training licence as well as gym based boxing, circuit training, spin licence and a level 4 diploma in nutrition. I am the reigning Berkshire County champion for 100m as well as the silver medalist in the 200m. I am also part of the Reading AC club record 4x100m team which put us as the fastest club team in the UK, and won Reading AC’s coach of the year in 2023.

My training style is completely different from others you may have seen and is guaranteed to get results, whilst remaining challenging and enjoyable at all times. I cater for everyone from beginners to elite sport performers and push everyone to their limits. I have produced athletes that have competed and won gold, silver and bronze medal through club, county, English schools, premier league and national level.

My daughter and I have been training with Ibrahim for a couple of months now. When I first started the sessions I had terrible back issues but they went after 3 sessions as I strengthened my core. Ibrahim is training my daughter for sprints and she is making great progress. It is great to have the personal focus to push us beyond our limits and improve our fitness levels.

I have been training with Ibrahim for one week now. He is very considerate and personalises the session to my needs. He motivates me to push myself whilst also having fun. I can really tell he cares about my progression and wants me succeed. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer who can focus on you personally and help you achieve your goals.

I have been training with Ibrahim for a month.
The conversation between me and him has been very good throughout and he has always been there to answer my questions, if I had any. I am training with Ibrahim once a week but I am in the gym 4 times a week. Yesterday it's been the first time someone told me I look very fit so I am happy my hard work is starting to pay off. The training programmes are different from week to week which doesn't give you the chance to get bored. The degree of difficulty makes me always challenge myself which I really enjoy.
Ibrahim builds up my training programmes purposefully to help me reach my long term goals. I love the discipline, motivation and passion Ibrahim has for his job and the commitment/dedication he has for his clients. If you are looking for guidance in changing your life style and not only gaining muscles, Ibrahim is your guy and I would definitely recommend him.

Despite having only had two lessons with Ibrahim, I'm already impressed by his expertise in speed and agility training. He's proven to be a knowledgeable and motivating coach, and I'm confident in his ability to prepare me for my upcoming fight. Ibrahim's passion for what he does is evident, and I'm grateful to have found such a dedicated trainer.

Ibrahim is an exceptional trainer who has greatly enhanced my performance as a kickboxer. His deep knowledge of speed and agility training has been invaluable in preparing me for my upcoming fight. I'm thrilled to have found him; his passion for his work shines through, and he consistently motivates me to push my limits. Ibrahim's unwavering dedication ensures that I am fully prepared for my upcoming amateur fight in K1. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-notch training in explosive workouts.

My husband and I are week 3 working with Ibrahim, each session has been excellent, a complete different approach to strength training than anything we have ever experienced, mixed in with some aerobic training. We both have different goals but it’s great to be able to accommodate both of us in one session helping us motivate each other and stay focussed. We look forward to continuing working with Ibrahim and seeing results. His knowledge and expertise on fitness and technique is exceptional, and his personal attitude to continue to drive and get the best out of us at each session is inspiring. Each session we have had comments from other members of the gym which competes the session with a sense of achievement and gratitude. We highly recommend Ibrahim.

My stamina has got very good since I started training with him.

Ibrahim is not only an amazing coach but also a positive role model to his young athletes. He is great at giving motivational pep talks, therefore inspiring athletes to push beyond their limits. Ibrahim has been coaching my daughter for over 3 years in sprints and hurdles and has demonstrated consistent dedication and effective coaching techniques, contributing positively to my daughter's progress in both. Thanks Ibrahim ☺️

We know Ibrahim for 2 years already. My daughter started having him as her running coach (sprint) since then and I’m very happy to say that she couldn’t have better coach for this purpose. The technics he use to coach are amazing and I’m sure my daughter wouldn’t be where she is today, if she hasn’t have him. I highly recommend Ibrahim…. with no doubt!

I had the privilege of being the first athlete ibrahim took on, and the 3 or so years i’ve spent with him have been incredibly successful. He has huge knowledge, being ex-olympic, and delivers amazing, insightful sessions while giving great advice on not only sport but nutrition and other life lessons. He continues to push me constantly, very committed and devoted and has led me to scholarships and beyond - amazing coach amazing man

Ibrahim is a fantastic personal trainer/coach. He cares about all individuals giving one to one feedback as well as group feedback. Under him giving up isn't a choice. He's also an extremely enjoyable coach with a unique and grasping style.
