Client Reviews
Kristen (CoachUp client)
Coach Ahmad was exactly what my husband and I were looking for for our son. He was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, fun and inspiring. My son left the session tired but excited and ready to work on improving his skills. He literally said he wished he could go 7 days a week!
Jessica (CoachUp client)
Great with my son, who is shy and quiet. Really works to help him open up and push himself to be better. Helps him work on his mental game as well as the physical parts of the game. Super supportive and always available to answer questions. Checks in throughout the week to see how things are going and makes my son feel supported.

My first consultation with Ahmad was great! He was a great listener, and designed a program specifically to meet my needs. His knowledge of fitness and nutrition was well articulated, and he helped me to have some ideas for immediate and simple changes to my current fitness program.

My son’s first session was a great experience. Coach Ahmad made him feel more confident about himself and on what he was doing in only one session. My son can’t wait to have more 1 on 1 training.

My son came home feeling great! My husband went and came home and had nothing but good things to say! My son said he already learned a lot, just from one session. Very pleased!!
Fredricka (CoachUp client)
My son and I had a great introduction session with Coach Ahmad. He arrived early and he was set up. We arrived early he had some time to speak with my son and asked questions to find out where and what my son needed help. He was very informative and he picked up on what areas needed help in after just a few activities. I was very impressed with the session. My son definitely wants to work with Coach Ahmad again. Highly recommended him.
Aaron (CoachUp client)
Coach Ahmad was very thorough in his approach to my son's first session. Not only was coach very knowledgeable about Football, he was just as knowledgeable about coaching and his approach to making my son better all around. Looking for to our next session.

Coach Ahmad is an amazing athlete and coach. I have been rusty not playing for about a year and a half. I already feel like i know just what to do to get back on track. Amazing hard working man making sure his athletes are working hard as well. He explained everything thoroughly and i did not feel weird at all he already feels like family. Best coach i have had and ive only had 1 seesion.
Jimmy (CoachUp client)
My son's first session was a great experience. The one-on-one instruction and feedback will help my son improve his game. We are glad we signed-up for additional sessions.
Yesenia (CoachUp client)
Coach Ahmad, is very knowledgeable, instantly connected with my son and targeted exactly what my son's wanted to improve. My son was very happy, learned new things, and can't wait to have more training sessions.
Devon (CoachUp client)
Working with Coach Ahmad, despite being for two days thus far, already has me feeling like a more experienced athlete! He has already taught me new techniques that help me to improve on each of football's fundamentals, as well as more advanced techniques for my positions. I am already seeing improvement in myself as an athlete from speed to agility thanks to him! I have had football training in recent years, but the training I am getting with Coach Ahmad now feels like its on an elite level! He's a cool dude too who makes the training fun while also making it effective! Given the chance, I would recommend him to any athletes willing to improve themselves on the field!
