To me, Mohamed Makkawy has changed my life. He is not a personal trainer, he is my personal sculptor. Most women would find Mohamed intimidating because of his physique. Mohamed taught me that training would not only sculpt my body to the best that it can be , but He also  made me realize how important training is to my mental health, not just my physical well being. He is a magician.

About twenty years ago I realized that I needed to get into better shape. For several months I would walk or bike several times a week, but I hadn’t made too much progress. Finally I decided to come back to training after an absence of several years, and I ended up working with Mohamed. I must admit that I was a little apprehensive at first working with an elite athlete, but he is very patient with beginners and explains things well. He is a stickler for form and safety. I am in better shape than when I started, and still making progress.

I’ve been very fortunate to have more with my trainer. With a torn meniscus in my knee that was recommended to be operated on , I was  sent to train with Mohamed  And did the  most an amazing job strengthening not just my knee , but the whole body , starting spring of 2015. I was able to ski during the winter of 2016 which amazed me given where the knee was . Mohamed is so knowledgable on the body and how to train the body to get it to the point we want to have it I’m so grateful for all of his work and knowledge.

I STARTED TRAINING WITH MOHAMED in 2015. HE HAS TAUGHT ME SO MUCH ABOUT STRENGTH, FITNESS AND NUTRITION. HIS APPROACH IS VERY HOLISTIC. AS A WOMAN IN MY 60’S, I FEEL STRONGER THAN EVER. I ATTRIBUTE MUCH OF THAT TO MOHAMED. I FEEL HE REALLY CARES ABOUT MY HEALTH. HE WAS VERY HELPFUL IN EXERCISING ME BACK TO HEALTH AFTER AN INJURY. I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL FOR HIS WISDOM, ENCOURAGEMENT AND GUIDANCE.
