The coach

Practical experience, continued education

Shayan is a certified personal trainer with more than 15 years of experience coaching clients internationally. Throughout his career, he has worked with more than 400 clients across Malaysia and Canada, helping people improve their strength, body composition, movement and confidence in training.

His approach combines practical coaching experience with continued education in strength training, bodybuilding, movement, corrective exercise and nutrition.

Rather than using the same program for everyone, Shayan builds training around the individual: how they move, what they want to achieve, their training experience, lifestyle, limitations, and what they can realistically stay consistent with.

Today Shayan coaches clients in person across North Vancouver, West Vancouver and Downtown — in a private studio, their building's gym or their home gym — and online anywhere.

The most effective program is not simply the hardest one. It is the one designed intelligently enough for you to keep progressing.

The approach

Six things every program is built around

The plan starts from you — then adapts as you get stronger, move better and learn what works for your body.

  1. 01

    How you move

    Mobility, stability and movement patterns decide which exercises suit you and where to start.

  2. 02

    What you want to achieve

    Fat loss, muscle, glutes, strength or simply feeling better — the goal shapes the plan.

  3. 03

    Your experience

    Beginners and experienced lifters need very different programming. Yours matches where you are.

  4. 04

    Your lifestyle

    Schedule, stress, sleep and work all affect recovery. Training is planned around real life.

  5. 05

    Your limitations

    Old injuries and restrictions are respected and worked around — never ignored.

  6. 06

    What you can sustain

    The plan you can stay consistent with beats the 'perfect' plan you abandon in a month.
