I can’t recommend my personal trainer highly enough! He truly stands out for his genuine care and dedication to his clients, which is so rare these days. He prioritizes your well-being and progress over anything else, and it shows in every session. His motivation and positive attitude are contagious, making training an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
With his guidance, I not only started training but also made a complete lifestyle change, including eating healthy. In less than two months, I was able to lose 5 kg and get into the best shape of my life. Everyone keeps asking me how I managed it, and my answer is always the same: a great personal trainer like him. If you’re looking for someone kind, skilled, and truly invested in your success, he’s the one to choose!

I’ve been working with Andrey for a couple of months, and my goal was to incorporate weightlifting and cross-training into my routine to prepare for an ultra-marathon.
Andrey has been incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and detail-oriented during our training sessions and in the custom exercise plan he created for me. He’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to complement their main sport with cross-training. Beyond that, he’s personable, motivating, and has a great sense of humor. All around, Andrey is an amazing PT and a fantastic person. I highly recommend him!
My progress with weightlifting has been remarkable. In just three months, I went from never squatting with a barbell to lifting 70KG.
I also had a previous back injury, and Andrey was extremely attentive and cautious when designing my training program and guiding me through sessions. If you’re looking to get back into fitness or the gym after an injury, he’s definitely the PT you need!
His training is affordable, especially considering the level of support, motivation, and expertise he provides.
You won’t find anyone better!

I have been training with Andrey for about 2 months now and have been truly impressed by his knowledge approach and attention to details. Each session is tailored to my needs, being challenging but exciting, hitting muscles i didn't even know i have. I have been particularly impressed by his focus on getting my form correct small tweaks resulting in massive improvement. I do look forward for each session and the results are obvious. Really happy I made this decision and can't recommend Andrey enough.

Since working with Andrey I have made progress I wasn’t making alone in the gym. His knowledge and understanding of health and fitness is amazing and he really works hard to figure out what you want and need. He creates realistic and manageable programmes and is very positive and encouraging. I was struggling to improve in certain areas and he immediately saw where I was going wrong and helped me change things up so I am now seeing the changes I wanted. His knowledge of nutrition is also amazing and he’s so good at helping you understand what will work for your body and lifestyle. Andrey really listens to what your goals are and what’s realistic for you and adjusts everything to make sure you can really stick to it. He is very patient and doesn’t make you feel silly if you don’t know something or can’t get the hang of something. He will adjust exercises around anything you’re struggling with but also shows you that you can do more than you thought you could. I’m very impressed!
