Training with Vlad is a real pleasure! Not only is he challenging and inspiring, he also listens to your needs and addresses issues you may have in a collaborate way. He employs a mix of classic workouts with some new techniques to really move your body, build your endurance, and strengthen your muscles. Even though he is built like a superhero, don’t let that intimidate you or color your opinion. He is exceptionally nice with enthusiasm that will keep you going when you want to stop! I look forward to every workout! More...

I’ve been working out by myself for my whole life until I started getting unmotivated and needed someone to push me. That is when I asked Vlad to help. Not only did he help me change my physique, but he changed my mentality about improving my health and contributed to help me release the hunger I had in me to better myself as a person. More...

I instantly felt comfortable with Vlad and appreciated the guidance he provided me with restarting my workouts after many years of couch-potato status!

Vlad is amazing! I starting working out with him 3 months postpartum and have seen great results within the last 3 months. I love his workouts; he knows how to work with all different body types and works very well with different physical restrictions without compromising results More...

Vlad is wonderful and I look forward to each session with him. He is really careful about form which is important to me as I hadn’t lifted weights or done any strength training in more years than I care to reveal. He manages to be motivational without being annoying, pushes me when I need it, and also listens if I’m having an off day. Plus he is fun and funny. Somewhat questionable taste in music :) .... but willing to take feedback and change up his playlist. More...

Very glad that I found Vlad on here, he has been fantastic to work with.
Vlad knows exactly how to push my body to the point where I'm making significant gains in my fitness and strength after every session without any risk of injury.
He's constantly watching my form to make sure I'm executing movements correctly and keeping my body safe.

Vlad is a great trainer. I like people who are responsive and punctual and Vlad is one of them. Very good work ethic, knowledgable, follows his own rules, and understands the trainee's goals and plan it out well. I highly recommend him.
How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Each person is different with different abilities and training history. Some have limitations/prior injuries. I help my clients find the training that suits them best and will help them reach their goals in the most efficient and safest way possible. My goal is to help you reach your goals and maintain them. Progress further and find new limits that you didn't think were possible.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Consistency is the key. Finding YOUR training style that you can actually enjoy and look forward to.
What do you love most about your job?
I love seeing my clients progress and watching them discover how much stronger, more able, and more mentally tough they actually are. I enjoy being apart of their fitness journey, performing exercises/movements that they didn't even know they could do. Most of the clients that I have trained over the years have never made me feel like it was a "job" and I am grateful for that.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I enjoy working for myself and pandemic 'forced me,' (luckily), to figure out a way to continue training and doing what I love. When I was at Equinox, I knew I wanted to eventually leave, but it is scary leaving a safe, stable job and if it was not for the pandemic (unfortunately for many of course), then I might have have started my own business.
Why should our clients choose you?
I tailor my training based on individual's abilities, goals, and preferences. I believe training should be enjoyable (at least most of it), otherwise it is hard to keep it up long-term. I use science-based approach. I communicate to my clients the reasoning behind each exercise they perform.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I train many clients in-person and online. It all depends what works best for you and what will help you learn and reach your goals in the most comfortable way.
