Since I started with Iraj in September, I’ve become the most athletic and powerful version of myself. My performance on the field has seen a massive improvement. We set personal goals for myself this season and I can happily say I’m hitting all of them, none of which could’ve been done without his work. More...

I can't say enough how great Iraj has been as our S&C coach throughout this past year. He is an understanding, motivating and knowledgeable coach who always ensures that our training is safe, effective and tailored to our goals. With the combination of his dedication and professional advice I feel that I have been able to exceed expectations when it comes to my strength and conditioning. He always knows how to challenge me, pushing me to do better, and overtime noticeable improvements have been made. Every session is full of laughter and joy as his humour and encouraging words always create an infectious atmosphere. Iraj has been an integral part of my journey and I cannot thank him enough for everything! More...

Iraj has played a crucial role in improving my athletic performance and boosting my confidence in the gym. With his expert guidance and support, I have been able to make significant improvements in specific areas that have translated into tangible results on the netball court. Iraj is not only friendly and supportive but also highly motivating, consistently pushing me to achieve my goals and reach new levels of strength and agility. His personalised training programs and targeted feedback have been invaluable in helping me to push beyond my limits and unlock my full potential. Thanks to Iraj's continuous support and guidance, I feel more confident and capable in the gym and on the court, and I am grateful for the impact he has had on my journey an athlete. More...

A hugely motivating and personable Coach who saw a level of ability in me I never knew I had. My personal goals were surpassed by consistent training, online support and limitless encouragement.
As a 50+ yr old with complications of menopause and two arthroscopies for meniscus tears, I was amazed at the depth of knowledge and support that Iraj could give, not only for training but also nutrition. I am immensely grateful and have huge respect for his wisdom, attention to detail and S&C expertise.

Iraj provides a holistic approach to S&C. Has helped me build strength in prep for high level BJJ competitions, rehabilitation post surgery and continues to provide 10/10 service during the sessions. I would recommend Iraj for anyone with a range of goals from general fitness to the elite athletes, he accommodates to your needs and provides enough pressure & encouragement during the PT to boost your development without crushing your spirit. A1 coach, would 100% recommend. More...

After meeting Iraj at BJJ and a fellow friend starting S&C training under him, I also followed suit and i’m glad I did. His sports specific approach to my S&C around my BJJ has helped me massively on and off the mats. Being more explosive and lasting longer in rounds. Ontop of that, Iraj is a sound coach who’s considerate of your lifestyle and adapts his training around that. Would recommend to anyone. More...

I was fortunate to be Iraj’s S&C intern during my masters degree at St. Mary’s university. During this placement, Iraj was always willing to pass on his knowledge to me in the best possible way.
His hands on approach towards my training not only improved my understanding of S&C but also gave me confidence. Along with shadowing him, he also many times let me lead the warm for male rugby union and rugby league, which helped me learn from my shortcomings. I’m grateful that I got to work with Iraj and witness closely his work ethic and kindness.
I wish him all the best in life.
