Always In Your Corner

Welcome! I’m Abdi, head coach and founder of Always In Your Corner Coaching.

The name comes from my beginnings in fitness — teaching pad work for white-collar boxing. I loved seeing people build confidence, coordination, and motivation. The boxing match gave them a goal, and I stayed in their corner long after the gloves came off.

After running boot camps in the local area, people began asking me for personal training. I got qualified, and since 2008, I’ve worked full-time helping people improve their health, strength, and energy. Supporting others quickly became my purpose.

Like many of my clients, I’ve faced my own challenges. In my early 30s, I lost motivation, neglected my nutrition, and gained weight. But with a mix of diet and training, I got back on track — even joining Ilford Athletic Club and running regularly again. That personal journey fuels my passion today.

Now, as a personal trainer based in Loughton, I specialise in senior fitness, helping people over 50 feel strong, capable, and energised. I support clients throughout the Epping Forest area — whether they want to reduce joint pain, increase stamina, or simply enjoy a more active life.

At Always In Your Corner, I believe it's never too late to take control of your health. With the right support and guidance, you can move better, feel better, and live better — at any age.
