The FutureXYou philosophy

Your future.
Your potential.
Your journey.

FutureXYou was created with one simple belief: you are capable of becoming more.

Founded by Larry Eke and Akum Pelagie, we combine personal coaching, structured training and individualised programming to help every client move closer to their strongest, healthiest and most confident self.

With a foundation in competitive bodybuilding — Larry placed 2nd in Classic Physique at the 2025 IFBB Mr. World Championship — personal training and movement-based coaching, our approach goes beyond simply completing workouts. We assess where you are, understand where you want to go, and build a clear path to get you there.

Whether your goal is fat loss, strength, muscle development, physique transformation, mobility or Pilates, your programme is designed specifically for you.

Not who you are today.Who you're becoming.

What we coach

Services

Personal training

Strength · Muscle · Fat loss · Physique

Fully personalised, in-person personal training in Downtown Dubai and Business Bay, built around your goal, your body and your schedule. Every programme starts with an assessment, technique is coached properly rather than assumed, and load is progressed deliberately so results keep coming. Progress is tracked session by session, whether you are training for fat loss, strength, muscle gain or a full physique transformation.

Reformer Pilates

Strength · Control · Mobility · Core

Private reformer Pilates sessions programmed to your body, building controlled strength through a full range of movement rather than heavy load. Particularly effective for posture, core control and long-standing movement compensations that strength work alone tends to leave untouched.

Mat Pilates

Movement · Core · Posture · Flexibility

Mat Pilates built around your own body weight, so it travels with you — a studio, your apartment or villa in Dubai, or a hotel gym while you are away. Core-led work with a focus on posture, flexibility and building a stronger, more balanced body.

Stretching & mobility

Recovery · Flexibility · Range of motion

Dedicated hands-on assisted stretching for stiff hips, shoulders and backs. Taken on its own to restore range of motion, or booked as a block alongside your training to protect recovery between demanding weeks.

EMS training

Activation · Strength · Efficiency

EMS training pairs electro muscle stimulation with guided exercise, recruiting far more muscle fibre than the same movement performed alone. The option for busy professionals in Downtown Dubai and Business Bay whose diaries only allow short, infrequent sessions but who still want strength and toning results.

Children's fitness

Movement · Coordination · Strength · Athletic development

Age-appropriate coaching for younger clients, focused on coordination, balance, movement skills and strength fundamentals. The aim is a strong athletic foundation and a genuine enjoyment of exercise — never bodybuilding.


Results

Transformations that
speak for themselves

Real clients, real timelines. Every one of them started with a single conversation.

Amy’s four-month body transformation with FutureXYou — before and after

Amy

4 Months of personal training

“Four months made me realise how much can change when you have the right plan and the right coach.”

In just four months, I was able to see a huge difference in my body and my confidence. Having a structured plan and consistent coaching kept me accountable and helped me stay focused. The transformation showed me what I’m capable of when I stay committed.

Fat loss · Toning · Confidence · Consistency

Omar’s one-year body transformation with FutureXYou — before and after

Omar

1+ Year of personal training

“The biggest change wasn’t just my physique — it was the discipline and consistency I built along the way.”

My transformation was a process, not something that happened overnight. Working together for over a year taught me the importance of consistency, progression and discipline. Looking back at where I started compared to where I am now, the difference is incredible.

Hassan’s one-year body transformation with FutureXYou — before and after

Hassan

1 Year of personal training

“A year ago I couldn’t imagine looking like this. Consistency changed everything.”

A year of consistent training completely changed my physique. Having someone who could guide my training, push me when I needed it and keep me accountable made a huge difference. The progress I’ve made over the past year is something I’m genuinely proud of.
