"I worked with Amirhossein for four years, aiming to compete at ITF level and reach the senior national team. My biggest challenge had been finding a coach who could integrate high-level tennis training with structured strength and conditioning — and understand the psychological demands of elite competition. This approach kept me largely injury-free, with consistent body composition and full physical readiness throughout the season. Just as importantly, the environment was effective without being mentally draining; even on hard days I stayed consistent, with no unnecessary pressure. I'd strongly recommend it to anyone who wants serious performance with a sustainable, well-balanced training approach."

"I worked with Amirhossein for around two years to improve my physical preparation for competitive play. My main challenge was building muscle mass, as I have a naturally lean build. Following the program, I saw significant gains in both training performance and match play, with clear progression throughout. The sessions were highly specific to my sport — far more structured and targeted than my previous training. I'd strongly recommend him, especially to racket sport athletes — his playing experience adds a valuable dimension to his coaching."

"My objective was a more specialised, tennis-specific approach to strength and conditioning. The challenge was finding a coach with both a deep understanding of physical training and real insight into the demands of tennis. It quickly became clear I was working with someone who understands anatomy and performance, and has a deep understanding of tennis itself — that combination had a significant impact on my development. His own playing experience allowed for a higher level of trust, knowing he could accurately analyse my game and identify areas for improvement. I'd strongly recommend this to tennis athletes serious about structured, long-term development."

"Although my time working with Amir was short — more in a colleague setting — my goal was to improve my on-court performance. I was already aware of his expertise and wanted a more focused approach to my development, which he consistently provided. The improvements were significant and immediately noticeable — the progress was so clear that I personally reached out to share the results. The most valuable lesson I gained: performance improvements don't require excessive physical strain in every session, but a structured, intelligent approach. Whenever I'm asked about high-quality coaching, I confidently recommend him — particularly for his care in managing load and minimising injury risk."

"I worked with Amirhossein for around two years, aiming to improve my tennis-specific physical performance. I saw significant improvements in footwork, speed, and endurance — my movement on court became a major strength. I felt quick, reactive, and capable of covering every ball even under high pressure. The results fully matched my objectives. Another key factor was his presence and support during competitions — he consistently understood the physical demands of match play and provided exactly what I needed to perform at my best. I'd strongly recommend him to any athlete looking to develop high-level tennis fitness."

"I worked with Amirhossein for over two years as my tennis fitness coach. My biggest challenge had been maintaining consistency and physical strength throughout matches. Through our work, I developed significantly in strength, speed, and on-court confidence — I was able to perform more consistently and feel more prepared during competition. I'd strongly recommend him to any tennis player serious about improving their physical performance and competing at a higher level."

"I worked with Amirhossein to improve my body composition and overall physical condition. One of the biggest challenges is simply getting started — but once you commit, consistency follows. Throughout the process, I experienced clear improvements in respiratory capacity, overall health, and mental well-being. The training environment was professional and comfortable — effective progress without unnecessary pressure, while still leaving room to push intensity. What stood out most was the level of trust: I had full confidence in his knowledge and approach. He is one of the few coaches I would genuinely rely on. I'd strongly recommend him to anyone looking to train seriously."

The Process

How It Works

Three steps. Your programme is built around your sport and your real life. Then I adjust it every week.

Assess

We start with your application and a video call. I ask about your training, your injuries, your calendar and how you recover, and I run a movement screen. For tennis and padel I also look at what the sport asks of your body. Before I design anything, I know how you move and where you are limited.

Application + Video Call

Build

Your programme is built from scratch. It is a chain of cycles of about 5 weeks. Each cycle has its own focus, its reason and a target you will hit. Strength, power, speed and mobility are planned around your calendar and your recovery, not someone else's ideal.

Bespoke Programming

Evolve

Your programme does not stay still. Every week I read your logs and your readiness, check in with you and adjust the load, the volume and the exercises. Nothing without a reason.

Weekly Coaching Loop

Fit Check

Built for
Serious Athletes

This is not a generic gym plan. I build it around how you move in your sport. Tennis and padel are my specialty, and athletes from every sport are welcome.

✓ Built for you if
+You take your sport seriously, from club level to international. Tennis and padel players are who I know best.
+You train or play several times a week and need S&C that fits around it.
+You want structure and steady progress, not random workouts.
✗ Not the right fit if
–You want generic workout templates or a fitness app.
–You want a coach who just tells you what you want to hear.
–You are not ready to follow a plan week after week.
Your Training System

Your programme
lives in an app.

You sign in with a username and a password. There is nothing to download and no spreadsheet. What you log goes straight into my weekly check-in.

Try the live demo Opens a real sample programme. Explore it like an athlete would. No sign-up.
Readiness Check
Before each session you rate your sleep, energy, soreness and stress. The session adapts to how you walked in, and your scores come straight to me.
Log As You Go
Tick off each exercise, log your loads and your effort (RPE), and use the built-in rest timer. It all feeds my next check-in.
Coaching Cues
Every exercise has cues: what to focus on and what to avoid. Like having your coach in the room.
A coach in your pocket, a path to your target.

Common Questions

Before You Apply

The questions athletes ask me most, before we ever speak.

How does payment work?

You apply and we talk. Then you message me on WhatsApp or Instagram to pay, and I write your programme. You pay in advance. The fee is for the work I do, so I do not give refunds once I have started your programme. You must be 18 or over to buy. If the athlete is under 18, a parent or guardian applies and pays.

Do I need access to a gym?

Ideally yes, but a home gym works too. On your intake call we work out what equipment you have or can get, and I build the programme around it. You do not need a fully kitted commercial gym to get real results.

I travel for tournaments. How does that work?

Travel is part of the plan from day one. Your programme includes sessions you can do with minimal equipment. In competition weeks I taper, so you arrive sharp and not sore from a heavy session two days before.

Can I combine this with my tennis coach's programming?

Yes, and I encourage it. S&C is the layer under your on-court work, not a replacement for it. I am happy to share load with your tennis coach, so your gym and court sessions work together.

What if I get injured mid-programme?

We adapt. I have worked through hundreds of in-season niggles and injuries with athletes. Your programme changes straight away. Often we keep building strength in the areas that are not affected, so you come back fitter.

How much time per week does it take?

Usually 2 to 4 sessions a week, 45 to 60 minutes each. The exact amount depends on your on-court hours, your season and how your body responds. Most athletes fit it around their existing training.

How is this different from a workout app?

An app gives you a workout. I give you a coach. Your programme is built for your body and your calendar. I check in with you every week and update your programme every month, and what you log feeds the next block of training. There is a person on the other end. That is the point.
