In short: Tarek Elzamek is a Dubai-based personal trainer and online coach, co-founder of Mr & Mrs Lifestyle with his wife Chloe Antoniazzi. He trains clients 1-to-1 at Nogs Gym in Al Quoz and coaches clients online worldwide, specialising in body recomposition, strength, fat loss and physique development.
Tarek's story
Tarek's coaching started with his own transformation. Going from struggling to stay consistent to competing at a high level taught him that results don't come from the perfect programme. They come from a plan you can actually follow, done consistently, with someone checking in.
That is the approach he has used with clients for more than 10 years, across Dubai and internationally. Many of his clients are busy professionals who want to look and feel better without giving up their social life. His job is to fit training and nutrition around that life, not the other way round.
What Tarek specialises in
Body recomposition
Losing fat and building muscle at the same time, so the scale might move slowly but your body shape changes fast. Ideal if you're "skinny fat" or coming back after a break.
Strength programming
Structured, progressive plans built around the big lifts and smart accessory work, with every session logged so the weights keep going up.
Fat loss for real life
Calorie and protein targets that survive Dubai life, with strategies for eating out, travel and Ramadan. Read his guide to losing fat in Dubai.
Men's physique
Building a fuller chest, wider back and stronger legs with the right exercise choice, volume and recovery. See why most men stop building muscle.

"Training with Tarek in Dubai as my personal trainer completely changed my physique. In 16 weeks I gained 8kg of solid muscle. His Dubai PT sessions are intense, personal and genuinely different to anything I'd experienced before."
