Amer Khalil: World Champion Coach Profile
Amer Khalil is the rare coach who combines a world-class competitive record with a coaching style that scales from beginner to elite. He's the head of strength coaching at RPM Gym in Al Manhal.
Competitive record
World Champion in bodybuilding and a Guinness World Record holder, Amer's competitive career sits at the top of the sport. The relevant point for clients isn't the trophies — it's that he has worked through every problem you're likely to bring him.
Coaching philosophy
Amer's programmes prioritise technique first, then progressive overload, then specialisation. He's known for pulling beginners through the first 12 weeks without a single injury, and for taking advanced lifters past plateaus where they'd been stuck for years.
Working with him
Amer takes a limited number of 1:1 Atelier clients at RPM. Sessions include programming, in-session coaching, nutrition direction and InBody tracking. New clients start with a movement assessment before any programming is written.
