I AM

Jihad Haddad

I’m Jihad and I’m a Movement Specialist. I help busy entrepreneurs and fitness enthusiasts who desire to invest in their body’s strength, mobility and shape.

I teach them the right postures when through their weight training, functional training and mobility practice.

I guide you to understand your body so you can reach your own personal fitness goals smartly and injury free.

I pride myself with a lean and flexible body but it wasn’t always that way…

I started my career with a maniacal attention to my aesthetic shape.  I over-trained. I abused my body. I found myself as a body builder having additional muscle mass to carry. But I had no flexibility whatsoever. I had a bad posture. And bone problems. I didn’t have enough fat through my food intake to lubricate my tissues. I just focused on my exterior prowess. 

My first personal transformation was when I realized I had to completely change my fitness routine to offload my body from that unnecessary muscle mass that was constricting my body movements and also I had to include a more balanced way of eating.

My second major transformation was when, after complaining from chronic pains in my joints and spine, I discovered that I had several old spinal injuries that were irreversible. That moment was a pivotal time for me, but also, devastating as an athlete. I had to learn to train in a way where I respect my body’s capacity but also to preserve it for the future.

Both my body transformation and my injuries have increased my respect for my own body, sharpened my knowledge of how to train right and made me even more passionate to teach and share my knowledge with my clients and students.

My body is my gym. And also your body is your gym. And there’s no ONE-WAY of training. There’s a way that works for you. There’s a way that works for me.

It’s my honor to show you how to train right for your body type.

CLUBBELL

CLUBBELL

CLUBBELL or CIRCULAR STRENGTH TRAINING (CST) is designed to strengthen:

  • Core engagement with movement. The circular, continuous movement is designed in a way to make you aware of the core’s functionality.
  • Punching power (for fighters).
  • Pulling and gripping power (for grapplers).
  • Upper body.
  • Lower body.
  • Release stress from fascia on the wrists, unlike other conventional weight systems.
CLUBBELL

As I was recovering from a shoulder and hamstring injury, I was looking for a kind approach in my body movement practice yet I wanted to be challenged. I desired a blend of intensity, regaining my mobility and feeling that my body is healing. Jihad has the ability to adapt his training to my needs of the day and my needs of the moment. Each session is new and uplifting. And that’s important to me as I recover through my injuries.

One on one training is always the best idea, especially with someone professional in the
physical fitness world, cultured and educated as a person. For me it wasn’t easy to commit

taught me how to take good care of my body.. now it’s part of my life and I love it
