I have worked with Marat on and off for about 15 years. In my younger years I was focused on building strength and through Marat’s personal training I was able to reach large personal milestones with my body’s ability to lift weights. After a sports injury leading to knee surgery, Marat helped me get back on my feet, tailoring our training programs to help recover and maintain strength. His focus on getting technique right helped protect me from injury, which so many of my friends were getting with lifting heavy weights, and something that my body still remembers today even after taking a break for some years.

With life, wife, kids, and a busy career taking off in later years I took a break from training. Through COVID-19, working from home with a full house and intense work it was difficult to separate and balance it all and I started getting burnt out. This led me to start training with Marat again. Marat’s training had evolved since our earlier weights training. He created a mobile ‘outdoor gym’ environment to cater to where I live, and also offered group calls with his clients to help build a community to learn and support each other.  While working with Marat I have been able to recover from my state of burn out. He has focused with me on not only exercise, but nutrition, and techniques to creating a better mindset and approach to the things I do in all facets of my day.

I highly recommend Marat as a coach and trainer for anyone that has a busy lifestyle and wants help and support to achieving balance and wellbeing in their life.
