The Story
I've been at the drawing board. Twice.
I'm Karim — Egyptian, based in Dubai, and a certified coach. But before any of that, I was someone who transformed his body once… and then watched it slip away.
My first transformation came at 22, right before my marriage. Ten months of pure effort. It worked — until it didn't. There was no plan for what came after. No maintenance. No system. Just willpower, and willpower runs out.
In 2024 I went back to the drawing board — this time differently. I trained relentlessly, but I also built in maintenance phases every few months, on purpose, to learn how to hold a result instead of just chasing one. That lesson — losing it once, rebuilding it right — is the foundation of everything I coach.
I spent two years building this the slow way: earning my certifications, doing the work on my own body first, and only then asking anyone to follow me. The job's never finished. But now, neither am I.
Age 22
The first transformation
A 10-month push right before my marriage. Real results — built on a foundation that couldn't last.
The fall
No maintenance, no system
Without a plan for 'after,' the result faded. The hardest lesson I've learned — and the most valuable.
2024
Back to the drawing board
Rebuilt from zero with structure: training phases, deliberate maintenance blocks, and systems over willpower.
Today
Transform With Me
Certified, tested on myself first, and coaching clients as a team — so nobody has to learn my lesson the hard way.
The Transformations
From obese to fat, from fat to fit, from fit to jacked.
Technically, this is three transformations in one. Take the first 25 kilos — I lost them. Then the other 20. Then another 20 on top. Where you're standing, I've been standing.
Stage 01
Obese
The first 25 kilos. This is where it started — and where I know exactly how you feel, because I've stood there.
Stage 02
Fat
Another 20 kilos gone at 22 — ten months of pure effort, right before my marriage. Then a broken foot, and years of it creeping back.
Stage 03
Fit
Back to the drawing board in 2024. Another 20 on top — this time with maintenance phases built in, on purpose, so it would hold.
Stage 04
Jacked
Three transformations in one. Certified, tested on myself first — and still not finished. The job never is.

In his words
"The doctor gave me 15 years. I gave myself a plan."
The verdict
"You have 15 to 20 years maximum."
At 24 the doctor looked at my x-rays after the broken foot and told me I was done. I'd transformed once before. I knew the only way I know how to do it — so I started again.
The setback
"A year and a half in — boom, laid off."
My children's tuition and medical bills were on my shoulders. I made myself a promise never to feel that helpless again, and to learn how to help people the right way.
The purpose
"I'm not here to dig in your pocket."
That would defeat the whole point of calling it Transform With Me. I built a 21-day discipline plan where I check on you every single day, so the discipline is actually built.
"It's never going to be easy. It's going to be painful. It's brick by brick." Broken foot, a lay-off with tuition and medical bills on my shoulders, then a freak accident to my son just before I finished the two-year rebuild. I made myself a promise never to feel that helpless again — and to learn how to help people the right way. So I double-majored, got licensed, and built Transform With Me.
