Breakthrough at Highbury
Riza’s journey started over 14 years ago on gym floors in Dubai, inspired by how training reshaped not only his body but his mindset and confidence. Joining Fitness First was a natural step because it aligned with his values of education, progress, and community - a place that supports real, sustainable results.
Riza knows the best results are often not physical. He helped a client who felt lost after years of inconsistency. The client's energy and self-belief changed so completely that the real breakthrough was an emotional one, when she said, 'I finally feel like myself again.' That moment proved that the best results go far beyond measurements.

Celebrating Consistency
Riza celebrates every milestone, no matter the size. He remembers the championship-level celebration he shared with a long-term client when they finally broke the 100 kg weight-loss mark. That moment symbolised patience, consistency, and trust in the process - proof that small wins carry the biggest emotional weight.
He defines true success as sustainability - when clients can balance work, family, and lifestyle while staying in control of their health. Fitness should add value, not take over.
Joning the Fitness First team was a natural step because it aligns with my values of education, progress, and community - it’s a place that supports real, sustainable results.
Real progress
When you train with Riza, you learn that progress is built on small, consistent actions that create momentum, confidence, and real, lasting change.

At Fitness First, we believe progress isn't linear, results don't come from quick fixes, it's about showing up, again and again. It's not about perfection, it's about progress. Every rep, every class, every choice adds up to real change. Whether you're taking your first step or your next leap, progress is waiting. Because when you choose progress, you don't just change your body - you change what you believe is possible.
