TAHA EL RAMLY

Born and raised in Richmond, BC, Taha brings a dynamic athletic background to his training—from karate and swimming to rugby. These days, his passion lies in Muay Thai, a sport he’s fully immersed in and absolutely loves. With roots in Egypt, it’s no surprise his favorite vacation spot is the stunning coastal city of Hurghada (trust us—look it up, it’s beautiful!).

When he’s not training clients or discovering new coffee shops and restaurants, Taha can usually be found testing out new workout ideas—on himself first, of course. So if you see him doing something wild in the gym, earbuds in and afro house music blasting, just know it might be your next workout challenge. Get ready to sweat!

I played Karate and swam as a kid. Unfortunately I never competed. I played Rugby in high school where we placed 3rd in provincials. Over the last 2 years I’ve leaned heavily into Muay Thai and love it.

 

One of your early life accomplishments was?…
Making it to the spelling bee in grade 5 and almost dropping one on stage.

 

If you could be anyone else in the world who would it be? 
The most recent person to win a lottery and not tell anyone.

 

What was your first job? And what did you learn at that job?
Boston Pizza host. I learned how nasty the kitchen was!

 

Discovering new restaurants and coffee spots. Muay Thai. Health podcasts. Also testing new exercises to use on clients. Recently I went to the gun range with my girlfriend for her first time. Also produce for fun.

 

Beyblades and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.

 

Hurghada, Egypt. Spend the same money you would in Vancouver except it’s like you’re living in an all-inclusive and no one is high.
