Their method
In twenty years I have seen every fashion come through: miracle diets, revolutionary machines, ten-day programmes. What works has not changed — consistency, measured progression, and a programme you can genuinely keep to.
I come from boxing and strength training, but I am also a Pilates instructor, and that mix defines how I work: we build strength while maintaining mobility and looking after the back. That is what lets people still be training in ten years, not just in six months.
I take on people with health issues: a fragile back, significant excess weight, returning from injury, a chronic condition. In those cases we move more slowly — we never move backwards.

How it runs
A session with Mourad Taoufiq, step by step
Mobility and activation
A Pilates-derived sequence: breathing, deep core work, spine and hip mobility. It is the part most people skip, and the part that protects the back.
Strength block
Weight training, cross-training or boxing depending on your programme. Loads written down every session, so progress is visible rather than just felt.
Cardio and stretching
Cardiovascular work dosed to the goal, then long stretches and a review of the session with instructions for the week.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Mourad Taoufiq
Location, rates, level required: what people ask most before a first session with Mourad Taoufiq.
Can I train with you if I have chronic back pain?
Yes, it is a large part of what I do. We start with deep strengthening and Pilates-based mobility, unloaded, before adding anything. If the pain has never been diagnosed, I ask you to get a medical opinion first.
What does Pilates give someone who mainly wants to lose weight?
It does not make you lose weight in itself, but it makes the rest possible: a solid trunk and mobile hips let you squat and lunge properly — and those are the movements that burn calories.
What does twenty years of experience change in practice?
The ability to spot very quickly what is going to cause trouble: a shoulder compensating, a knee collapsing inward, a pace that will not hold. It saves the three or four months many people spend training into thin air.
Do you take seniors?
Yes. The work then centres on functional strength, balance and fall prevention, with controlled ranges of motion and a far slower progression than with a younger adult.
Can I combine boxing and weight training in the same week?
It is one of the combinations I suggest most often: one boxing session for cardio and coordination, one or two strength sessions for force. I space them out so the same muscle groups get to recover.
Does online coaching work as well?
For general fitness, fat loss and Pilates, yes — provided the camera is well placed. For learning heavy lifts, I recommend a few in-person sessions to start.
