Tariq Ado-Ibrahim is a Certified Personal Trainer and boxing coach with more than a decade of experience helping active people and athletes build strength, resilience, and confidence. Certified through Canadian Fitness Professionals (CanFitPro) since 2014, he pairs a competitive athletic background with a structured, results-focused approach to training and conditioning.

A Boxing Ontario Level One Coach and two-time Brampton Cup Boxing Champion, Tariq brings genuine combat-sport experience to his coaching. His athletic foundation also includes varsity basketball at the University of Toronto Mississauga and distance running as a marathon runner, giving him a broad, practical understanding of performance, movement, and endurance across very different disciplines.

At Advanced Physio Plus, Tariq works as a Physiotherapist Assistant, delivering individualized conditioning and active-rehabilitation sessions under the supervision of our Registered Physiotherapist, Nikolay Zagrebailov. He carries out the treatment plans designed by the physiotherapist, helping clients rebuild strength and return safely and confidently to the activities they love.

Tariq's coaching goes beyond the workout itself. He builds structured training programs, tracks progress carefully, and pays close attention to the everyday factors that support lasting results — quality of sleep, stress management, and healthy daily habits — helping clients develop the discipline and consistency that carry into every part of their lives.

He is also a Yogafit Level One Yoga Instructor and holds Emergency First Aid, CPR, and AED certification, and he weaves mobility, recovery, and practical nutrition and lifestyle guidance into his programs to support each client's overall wellbeing.

Known for his ability to adapt and tailor every session to the individual in front of him, Tariq is a motivating and encouraging presence — the kind of coach who helps clients keep going even on their toughest days.

Whether he is guiding an athlete through a return to training, coaching a newcomer through their first program, or supporting a client's rehabilitation, Tariq's goal stays the same: to help each person move better, feel stronger, and build habits that last.
