About Us

TrainIQ Academy is a weekly enrichment academy for young children that combines academic tuition with a variety of structured indoor sport activities. Each session lasts two hours and offers a balance of focused study time and active movement - all in a safe, supportive environment.

Our Mission

We believe in building habits early. The primary school years are a pivotal time for physical and mental development.

That is why at TrainIQ, we have created a positive, productive space where children can expand their knowledge, build confidence and enjoy learning. We keep our groups small, routines consistent and expectations high so every child is given the support to develop focus, discipline and social skills, all in one place.

When children experience the value of movement and focus at this age, they are more likely to carry those healthy habits into their teenage and adult lives.

In a world of screens and short attention spans, we offer something different. A chance to stay sharp, stay active and stay ahead.

Meet Issa

TrainIQ was founded by Issa Malik, a committed educator and athlete with a passion for helping children develop strong minds and healthy habits. With over 7 years of experience tutoring Maths, English and 11 Plus, Issa has supported many young learners in building confidence and making real progress in their studies.

Alongside his background in education, Issa plays basketball and handball at a national level. His calm and adaptive style makes him equally at home in the classroom and on the court.

Issa started TrainIQ to offer a better way forward. His students often shared how hard it was to focus for long periods of time, or how they would scroll for hours after the lessons. Some would show extremely high screen times. He saw how early these habits were forming and wanted to help break the cycle.

TrainIQ was built to help children find the right kind of dopamine, enjoy learning again, and develop a real interest in moving, thinking and growing.

Meet Sumaira

Sumaira Safdar is a qualified fitness instructor with over five years of experience in the health and fitness industry.

Her journey with TrainIQ began through a personal mission to help her own children spend less time on screens and more time building confidence, friendships and healthy habits. She believes that physical wellbeing is just as important as academic growth, especially in the early years.

While Sumaira will support our sport sessions, her biggest impact is in shaping the energy and ethos behind TrainIQ. Her goal is simple. She wants every child moving, engaged and feeling great. When she is not coaching, you will find her training at the gym, practicing yoga, or scaling rock walls at high altitudes.
