  • Two years ago Essa Al Ansari weighed 130kg, looked extremely obese for a 23-year-old and realised he needed to do something about his long term health.

    His twin brother Hamad, a fitness fanatic, encouraged him to change his ways and helped him through a gruelling weight loss programme.

    It’s been a rollercoaster journey since 2013, but two years on, Essa has lost a remarkable 70kg and cuts a sharp figure as he trains in Talise Fitness at Jumeirah Beach hotel on a daily basis.

    With a degree in hospitality management, the 25-year-old balances his time between managing the Tulip Hotel Apartments in Dubai and inspiring young children to keep fit and healthy.
