Training with Khalid is a truly rewarding experience. He tailors his training to my specific situation through his holistic approach combined with an in-depth understanding of the body and muscle structure. Connecting the mind and muscles together are an integral part of his approach with me and I'm amazed at the results. We often train in outdoor spaces, which takes his holistic approach one step further.

Unlike working with a trainer in the gym, Khalid gets me using my own bodyweight and makes "adjustments" to add an extra level of challenge - and it works like you wouldn't believe! I went to him for recovery and have found myself stronger, fitter and more physically able than I've been since my competitive swimming days. He's fun, caring and works intuitively to achieve more than you think you're capable of. I'd recommend him to anyone wanting to lift their game in competitive sports, or just build a healthier, more able body and mind.

Khalid is a superb personal trainer and a friend ! Great company fed with jokes and interesting small talks and in the meantime, he constantly nudges and guides across various exercises starting from basics ending with really hard ones where all muscles are put at work. I've never been noticing how the time was flying in the course of these exercises but then - I've always felt muscles been effectively stretched and me getting in an athletic posture.

Khalid is more than a trainer, he is an excellent coach and he enjoys sharing his knowledge and passion for the purpose of making the most out of each training and that is for me his real value added: giving purpose to my training.

FIT IM ALTER
Als über 60 jähriger und mit grossem Abstand der Methusalem in der gemischten Gruppe „Karate Fit‘, habe ich regelmässig mit grossem Spass teilgenommen. Auch habe ich mit ihm ab und zu gemeinsam im Fitnessraum trainiert. Wie die Jungen, versuche auch ich noch an meine Leistungsgrenzen zu gehen, denn erhöhte körperliche Aktivität im Alter ist gesund, führt zu Wohlbefinden und man fühlt sich einfach zufriedener.

Khalid‘s Trainings sind immer „knackig“, stets mit langsamer Steigerung und immer auf saubere Bewegungsabläufe und Ausführung bedacht. Natürlich bin ich nicht mehr auf dem Belastungsniveau und der Motorik der Jungen. Nichtsdestotrotz zeigt er sich immer sehr einfühlsam, motivierend und ohne jegliche Kritik, auch wenn die Kräfte beim Trainieren mit dem eigenen Körpergewicht nicht immer mitspielen. Das abschliessende Dehnen der versteiften Glieder bis an die Grenzen immer sehr behutsam, langsam und äusserst vorsichtig, um Verletzungen zu vermeiden.

Khalid‘s enormes Wissen über den Körper, seine effektiven Ganzkörpertrainings, seine ruhige Art, doch auch ihn persönlich als Menschen, schätze ich sehr. Ich kann seine Workouts jedem wärmstens empfehlen, ob Jung oder Alt, ob Frau oder Mann
