"I've worked with Coach Miki and can confidently say he's one of the most knowledgeable and results-driven fitness coaches in Addis Ababa. He doesn't just give you a workout plan — he teaches proper exercise technique, correct form, breathing, and the reason behind every movement."
"I can't recommend my personal gym coach highly enough. From day one, they've been professional, motivating, and genuinely invested in my progress. Every session is well-structured, challenging, and tailored specifically to my goals and fitness level."

These are a few of the reviews clients have left on Google. The full, current list is always on the listing itself.
My office of appointment is on Cameroon St in Addis Ababa, around Bole — that is where we meet to plan your training. Sessions themselves are arranged around your schedule and where you are based.
Message me on WhatsApp with where you are and what time of day suits you, and I will confirm the details.
Yes. I work with beginners, working professionals, travelers passing through Addis Ababa, and athletes.
If you have never trained before, we start with movement, technique and breathing, and only add weight once your body is ready for it. Nobody is too unfit or too out of practice to start.
Rates depend on which program you choose and how often you train each week — 1-on-1 personal training, online coaching and fat loss programs are priced differently.
The first consultation is free. Message me on WhatsApp for current rates and we will pick the option that fits your schedule and budget.
Cash, bank transfer, CBE and Telebirr. Payment is settled in person or by mobile money — there is nothing to pay through this website.
Yes. Online coaching gives you a program built around the gym or equipment you actually have, weekly check-ins to adjust it, and ongoing support on your phone. Clients train with me remotely from wherever they are.
Yes — practical nutrition guidance that supports your training: structure, habits and realistic choices built around real Ethiopian food and your working day, not a fad diet.
This is coaching guidance rather than clinical dietary treatment. If you have a medical condition, keep working with your doctor alongside your training.
That depends on your starting point, how consistently you train, and your sleep and nutrition. Most people feel a change in strength, energy and confidence within the first few weeks.
Visible changes in body composition take consistent months, not days. I would rather set an honest expectation than sell you a shortcut.
I am based around Bole, and that is where most in-person sessions happen. I work with clients from across Addis Ababa, and with online coaching your location is not a limit at all.
Tell me where you are based and we will work out what is practical.
Within 24 hours, usually much sooner. WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach me.
Pay whichever way works best for you.
