Luqman

Co-Founder, Head of Training Systems, CATALYST Performance

Luqman holds a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) but made a deliberate choice to apply that foundation in preventative health rather than clinical practice. The shift was not a departure from medicine — it was a recognition that the most significant health gains for most people happen long before they need a doctor.

He began his personal training career in 2015 and went on to lead trainer education at a major commercial gym chain, where he was responsible for the training and certification of over 50 personal trainers. He co-founded CATALYST Performance and now oversees training systems and service quality across the studio — ensuring that the coaching delivered to every client meets a standard that most facilities do not hold themselves to.

Luqman's background informs everything about how he coaches: a precise understanding of human anatomy and physiology, a focus on injury prevention, and an evidence-led approach to programming. He works with clients recovering from injury, those managing chronic pain, and anyone who wants training that is grounded in how the body actually functions.
