Rakan is the kind of coach every member wants in their corner, driven, passionate, and relentless in his pursuit of results. Known as the “Palestinian Power,” he brings a strong mindset shaped by his roots in Jordan and a competitive career that includes two WAKO British titles and representing Team GB on the international stage.

As co-owner of our full-time EPiC Gym in Portishead, Rakan leads from the front. He delivers high-quality personal training and a timetable packed with kettlebell, bodyweight, and HIIT sessions that challenge and inspire in equal measure. He is also an ABA-qualified boxing coach, offering both structured classes and 1:1 training for those looking to sharpen their boxing or kickboxing skills.

Known for his intensity and commitment, Rakan trains as hard as he coaches often pushing himself to be the hardest-working person in the gym. His energy is infectious, and his standards lift everyone around him.

Outside of EPiC, Rakan enjoys downtime with his wife Kysia and children, catching up with friends, and following his beloved Manchester United.
