Hidden Gems: Meet Toni Abdo of Team Elite Coaching

Today we’d like to introduce you to Toni Abdo.

Hi Toni, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I am certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) as a personal trainer, corrective exercise specialist, and in nutritionist. I have over 25 years of experience working with clients and witnessing their transformations and have had the pleasure of successfully coaching over 500 clients. A special highlight of my career includes working as a coach behind the scenes for the ABC hit television show, “Extreme Makeover – Weight Loss Edition” for seasons 1 and 2.

I coach in person local to the Mesa area, however, the majority of my coaching clients are virtual and span the globe (including Canada and Britain!) Additionally, I understand the mechanics and fundamental discipline required to be successful in mind and body transformation- I am a two-time European and world champion in martial arts and studied Kung Fu at the distinguished and renowned Shaolin Temple in China.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
For me! I came to the United States in 2005 from Lebanon my origin country. I lived there most of my life. I was raised during the civil war for 18 years. I worked as a bodyguard for the U.S. Ambassador in Beirut Lebanon for 7 years. I traveled all around the world.

When I moved to the States, my biggest struggle was the culture change, learning a new language as English is my third Language. Arabic is my native language and French is my second language. I had to go back to school to learn a new language.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
“Our mission is to provide top-notch fitness and nutrition coaching to those seeking to live life to the fullest. We do this by taking a holistic approach that focuses on complete mind and body wellness.”

Team Elite Coaching teaches one-on-one nutrition, training, and behavior coaching to not only help you reach your goals but also how to make these newly-learned healthy habits a sustainable way of life. Your plan is individually customized and tailored to your unique needs including daily check-ins, and weekly progress updates with feedback from your coach. You also have access to individual Zoom calls with your coach, weekly team lessons to work on mindset, and the support of the TEC community.

I have helped over 500 clients over my career to reach their fitness goals and transform their lives.

We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up.
When I was picked to represent my Country to go to China to the Shaolin temple and lived there with the monks for 9 months practiced Kung-fu with the monks at the age of 16 years old.
