Khalil Zahar is the CEO and co-founder of FightCamp, the connected fitness company bringing real boxing and martial arts training into homes around the world. Khalil didn’t grow up in the fight world. He found boxing in college at a moment when he was looking for structure, challenge, and something that demanded more from him than a typical workout. What started as a way to stay in shape quickly became a discipline. One that sharpened his focus, tested his mindset, and reshaped how he approached pressure, consistency, and personal standards. That experience became the foundation for FightCamp. Khalil built the company around the belief that boxing and martial arts training are not just about fitness. They are systems for building mental resilience, accountability, and self-respect. Today, he leads FightCamp with a mission to make that kind of training accessible to people who value hard work, discipline, and earning their progress. Principles that strongly align with the military and veteran community.
