I am Burak Özkul. I was born in 1994 in Adana, Turkey. My journey in sports began at the age of six, and throughout the years, I achieved various rankings in multiple disciplines. After football, I pursued athletics for an extended period, which laid the foundation for where I stand today. When I started university, I took up bodybuilding. My degree in Physical Education and Sports Teaching, combined with my passion for the scientific aspects of the human body, fueled my curiosity and led me to new achievements in this sport.

I won the Turkish Championship twice in a row and also earned the title of Champion of Champions in Turkey. Following these successes, I was selected for the Turkish National Team, marking the beginning of my journey to achieving my life goals step by step.

I successfully integrated both my sports career and domestic and international education, allowing me to develop a broad vision in the field.

In 2021, I moved to Dubai to take on a sports management role for a major corporation. Working with both local and international members gave me the opportunity to gain insights into how this sport operates in the global market.

During this period, my competitive career continued, and I won the NPC PRO QUALIFIER competition in Thailand, earning the title of Champion of Champions both domestically and internationally. As a result, I obtained my IFBB PRO CARD, officially reaching professional athlete status in the international arena, and embarked on my Olympia journey. In 2024, I won the San Antonio Pro IFBB Professional League race in Texas and won the Mr. Olympia ticket. And I became the only athlete to represent my country in Mr. Olympia in 2024.

Since 2017, I have been providing online coaching services, working with over 5,000 individuals, and I take great joy in positively impacting people’s lives.

Among my students, I have those who have achieved competitive success, as well as individuals from various professions and age groups. My mission is to help people adopt a healthy lifestyle and gain self-confidence through fitness. My happiness comes from witnessing these transformations.

Whether through standard online coaching or working with advanced-level athletes, our community continues to grow daily. As a coach, I take great pleasure in standing by my students with the same passion and excitement I had on my very first day.
