Hafiz

Hafiz has over six years of hands-on personal training experience, five of which were at a major commercial gym chain where he also served as a Trainer Educator — responsible for developing trainer competency in injury prevention, movement efficiency, and programming quality. That combination of coaching depth and educator experience gives him an unusually clear lens on what separates good training from training that causes or compounds problems over time.

He is a certified NeuroKinetic Therapist (NKT), which means his approach to movement goes beyond surface-level symptom management. NKT is a clinical assessment framework that identifies compensatory movement patterns at a neurological level — allowing Hafiz to trace dysfunction to its root cause rather than treating the site of pain alone. Integrated with strength coaching and sports massage, this methodology allows him to build programmes that address why a client is in pain or moving poorly, not just how to work around it.

As a Founding Trainer at CATALYST Performance, Hafiz works with clients managing chronic pain, recovering from injury, and those who want to build real strength without accumulating the dysfunction that poor-quality training often produces.
