“Mo is a gifted personal trainer. Mo has taught me dynamic gymnastics movements as an adult beginner who has zero background. He excels at breaking down complex movements into step by step progressions that are achievable for me. His strength training cues helped me big time in my acro-yoga teaching and performances.

Doing squats and deadlifts with weights, Mo noticed my lumbar spine was consistently extended.  He cued me to keep my lumbar spine neutral.

A few weeks later, I was practicing for an acrobatic dance performance and thought to keep my lumbar spine neutral in a dynamic dance lift.  I actually could feel the entire kinetic chain of my muscles integrate from the legs to my torso. My performance increased drastically.”

“Mo is a great trainer! I've worked with him for several years and can’t say I would want to work with anyone else. His strength training will kick your ass but help you meet the goals you want. And as someone who was intimidated working out in a gym setting, he was great about thoroughly explaining exercises and breaking down form, so that I felt confident to be able to work out and not look like a ding dong. But what I really appreciated most is his knowledge of movement quality. He knows how to break down movements into manageable progressions and takes great care to prevent injury by ensuring I am moving safely and with proper body mechanics. I mention a lot of movements that I would want to be able to do but see as unattainable, but he always finds a way to build up to them from where I’m at. And when I feel like I’ve plateaued with certain movements he analyzes my form and always pinpoints where the mental/physical blockage are and what exercises to then do to break through them. Even as a somewhat neurotic and overcritical person, Mo has made me feel more capable. Do yourself a favor, train with Mo!”

“Mo is a great trainer who really puts the effort to trying to get you to the level and place you want to reach. When I first started training with him I couldn't do push ups and pulls ups and now I am able to do both when I never thought that would be possible. He worked with me and gave me progressions through each stage and now I am much stronger because of his help and guidance. He is a wonderful person to work with and truly cares about his clients and wants them to be the best they can be. His knowledge and creativity when it comes to movement is amazing and it gives him a unique perspective.”

“Maomé AlShalaby is amazing! I can’t wait to work out with him again when I’m healthy enough. He makes it fun and not a chore! More importantly, he explains how to do everything the right way to get the most out of it and not injure yourself. Highly recommend checking him out!”
