What are some of the main qualities and characteristics of a great personal trainer?
First and foremost, they should be passionate about fitness and helping others achieve their goals. They must have a vast knowledge of exercise science and nutrition and be able to tailor programs to fit each client's individual needs.
World-class trainers are also great motivators, always keeping their clients on track while providing support and encouragement.
Finally, they must be professional and reliable, always showing up on time for sessions and being willing to work around their clients' schedules.
Why is it sometimes difficult to find a good personal trainer in Dubai?
There are a few reasons. First of all, the fitness industry in Dubai is still relatively new, so there are not as many qualified trainers as there are in other cities.
Secondly, many trainers in Dubai are doing personal training as a hobby and do not even have any certification. They have a few pictures with visible abs on their social media channels, and they promote themselves as fitness experts. Many personal trainers see it as an easy way to make a good income as personal training in Dubai is well paid compared to most 3rd world countries.
Finally, many people here are not aware of the importance of hiring a personal trainer and mistakenly believe that they can get the same results by working out on their own. This is not true, and you can read all about it in our blog, which discusses the benefits of having a personal trainer.
Why choose Fortius to guide you on your fitness journey?
When you work with Fortius Dubai, you can expect a comprehensive and highly individualized approach to training. Our team of personal trainers possesses the skills and knowledge needed to help you achieve your fitness goals.
At Fortius Dubai, we take pride in our team of world-class personal trainers. All of our trainers are certified and have years of experience helping people achieve their fitness goals. Our trainers also have a background in professional sports, which, combined with education in the field of fitness, provides the perfect combo for our clients.
What does the Personal Training process look like with Fortius Dubai?
Once you book your initial consultation, you will meet with me or some of my highly experienced trainers that will take you through an extensive questionnaire. The questionnaire will help us determine your current physical state, your goals, and any limitations you may have.
Based on this consultation, we will develop a tailored program for you which could include personal training sessions, nutritional advice, and lifestyle changes. Each client is an individual and has different health and fitness goals that we will address uniquely.
We track your progress from start to end!
At Fortius Dubai, we use a set of different measuring tools to assess your progress:
Anthropometric measures (chest, waist, hips, glutes, thighs, etc.)
Bio-impedance scale (body fat%, water %, muscle %, etc.)
Progress Pictures
Strength Progress (increase in weights lifted)
How do we create our client's workout programs?
Based on our client's individual goals, current health status, and props available, we create a personalized program to meet their specific needs.
A common misconception amongst people training for physique!
Most people believe that each person needs to have a completely different workout program for achieving their goals. People think that exercises, rep ranges, and breaks between sets vary drastically between individuals. However, that is not entirely true. Ultimately whether you are a man or woman, your main priority in training should be to get stronger over time, which means being able to lift more weights as your progress on your fitness journey.
There is a set of exercises that are the most efficient that form the program's base. Then depending on your strengths and weaknesses and specific goals, the programs vary slightly in the exercise selection. However, improving strength within the ideal rep ranges for hypertrophy is ultimately the main goal for everyone wanting to transform thier physique.
If your goal is to build muscle and tone, whether you are currently overweight, obese, or in the ideal weight range, you ultimately have the same training goal from the point of muscle stimulus. Still, you should have a completely different approach to nutrition! More about that in the paragraph below.
How does nutrition coaching work with Fortius Dubai?
There is an optimal way of training if your goal is to achieve an amazing body transformation. However, nutrition is an entirely different beast and is the foundation of success for anyone looking to change their body!
Our Nutrition Coaching services are based on providing you with an optimal meal plan that fits your lifestyle, goals, and preferences. We use a set of formulas to calculate your total caloric needs for your specific goal and the ratios of protein, carbs, and fats. We will do a nutrition questionnaire for each client to find out about your eating habits, allergies, food preferences, etc.
Then we provide you with meal samples that fit those macros (proteins, fats, and carbs) to ensure that you are getting the nutrients you need and calories to get you closer to your specific fitness goal. We can create meal plans for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores as we have over 300 foods in our database. We continuously adjust your meal plan according to your progress and feedback so that you can make the most of your results while staying on track!
What should you ask when looking for a personal trainer?
I suggest that you ask your trainer the following questions to establish whether he is someone you want to work with:
What is your educational background in fitness and nutrition?
Do you have any certifications?
What types of clients have you worked with in the past?
What are your areas of expertise?
How do you design programs for each client?
Are you comfortable working with people who have special needs or injuries?
What is your training philosophy?
What have you achieved with your previous clients?
Can you teach me how to become independent of having a personal trainer and still achieve great results?
How much do you charge per session?
What are your company rules and regulations regarding package expiry dates and cancellation policy?
The bottom line is that you should feel comfortable and safe with the person you choose to work with. It's essential to find someone who has the proper education, experience, and training to help you achieve your fitness goals.
Find out what our clients have to say about our personal trainers!
"After at least three unsuccessful attempts at losing weight, I almost gave up when my friend Nina recommended Fortius Dubai. I was skeptical at first, but once I had done the phone call with coach Milos I decided to come in for a trial session. To my surprise, Fortius Trainers were much more professional than any trainer I have tried before! I managed to lose 15 kilograms in 3 months, and the main reason I did was their unique approach to nutrition coaching! I had a personalized plan calculated to detail and changed at any point in time, which made my life easy!" - Jessica.
"I was always into sports and had a lot of muscle, but I could never lose the fat. After years of struggling with my weight, I decided to opt for personal training. Fortius Dubai was above my budget, but when I spoke to coach Andjela, she told me that if I committed to just three months, I would get amazing results and learn how to achieve and maintain my results without being dependent on anyone! This made me join Fortius, and thanks to them, I dropped my body fat from 25% down to 22% in 8 weeks. I managed to save money in the long run as I can maintain my results on my own, which is ultimately something I believe should be the goal of anyone seeking help from a professional!" - Sahar.
"I wanted someone knowledgeable to train me for a month to learn how to exercise independently. I found Fortius through a Google search, and it was the right choice. They helped me learn how to train the right way and sustainably organize my nutrition.
"I was looking for postnatal training and decided to go for coach Andjela as she was a certified personal trainer with experience in postnatal training. She helped me get my muscles back and, perhaps more importantly, helped me strengthen my core, which was very weak due to my C-section" - Huma.

How much weight loss can I achieve in one month?
The results will vary from person to person, but a healthy and sustainable weight loss journey should be anywhere between 500 grams and 1 kilogram per week. We have achieved up to 5 kilograms in 10 days with some clients that had special occasions coming up, but we do not recommend such an extreme weight loss regiment to our clients.
Do you have a private gym?
Yes, we have one in addition to our mixed gym. |In the private gym, your will have complete privacy during your training sessions.
How long is your personal training session?
Our gym training and home training lessons are 60 minutes long. However, that is not always sufficient for you to achieve your goals, in which case the trainer will give you further instructions on which exercise routine to do on your own.
How much muscle gain can I achieve in one month?
Scientifically you can put on between 100 grams and 500 grams of muscle per month depending on a few factors:
previous training experience
number of weekly sessions
your ability to stick to your meal plan
your ability to recover from training
Is it true that if a female does body building they will bulk up fast?
This is a common misconception amongst women, however, it is completely untrue. The capacity at which women can put on muscle is extremely slow and if you ever felt that you started bulking up because you were lifting weights it is not due to that but due to other factors like:
overconsumption of calories
water retention due to hormonal changes or sodium imbalances
