One common myth is that you have to train every day to see results, but rest and recovery are just as important.

“I absolutely love my 1-to-1 boxing sessions with Akin for cardio because I’m not a fan of running. He always motivates me and encourages me to push my limits, and I really appreciate being invited to the classes here. Thanks to Akin, I’ve lost 2.5 kg in just 2 months!” – Nato Laliashvili
I enjoy helping people develop skills that have a real impact on their lives. As a personal trainer and swimming coach, I teach boxing, spin, and reformer Pilates. I believe that swimming, healthy living, and self-defence are essential life skills that everyone should have, and I take pride in helping people build and master them.
I became a personal trainer to turn my years of experience and knowledge in fitness into a professional career, where I can guide and support others in improving their health, fitness, and performance.
My training philosophy focuses on building correct technique first and prioritising slow, consistent progress rather than rushing results. Strong, lasting foundations take time to develop. I believe the best results come from patience, proper form, and a sustainable approach to training that clients can maintain long term.
My clients typically become more active, confident, and capable in their overall fitness. In addition to strength training, I help clients improve their boxing skills, build core strength through reformer Pilates, and provide practical nutrition guidance to support weight loss and help them achieve their desired physique.
Currently, I work mostly with beginners who are starting their fitness journey. My ideal clients are individuals who are dedicated to their own profession or sport and want to enhance their performance through structured fitness training. I have also designed and implemented strength and conditioning programmes for professional swimmers, achieving strong and measurable results.
I am a national-level athlete who has trained and competed at an elite level, giving me first-hand experience of what high-performance training truly requires. This background allows me to support athletes, including runners, footballers, and swimmers, with professional strength and conditioning programmes designed to enhance performance, build resilience, and prevent injury. I believe this combination of real competitive experience and expert coaching is what sets me apart from many other personal trainers.
