  • “I have been working with CSES for five months now. It has been refreshing to see a strength coaching education system that looks beyond simple exercises and helps evaluate patients functionally. When my patients are coming to the end of their treatment I always feel comfortable leaving their strength progression in the hands of Amir and his CSES coaches.”

  • “As an uprising Medical student with sports medicine interests, I had the pleasure of lecturing CSES coaches on multiple topics including hypertension, connective tissue on a microscale and others. I never thought the day would come where we would see coaches chasing real science and proper application, it’s finally here and it’s exactly what the market needs!!”

  • “What sets Amir apart isn’t just how much he’s learned—it’s how effectively he applies it. Having taken many courses, he brings a rare combination of intelligence, meticulous attention to detail, and true care for his clients. He understands that when a trainer takes full ownership of their craft, the client is the one who wins”

  • “I’ve had the privilege of mentoring many talented coaches, but few match the precision, dedication, and integrity Amir Hamada brings to his work.

    What sets Amir apart is his ability to turn complex methodologies into practical systems—for elite athletes, post-rehab clients, and everyday professionals reclaiming strength and mobility. His CSES System reflects deep knowledge, clinical thinking, and a no-compromise approach to results.

    I fully endorse Amir and the CSES team as leading voices in modern strength and conditioning.”
