Why I can help
I qualified as a fitness professional at the Fitness Company International School for Fitness and Recreation in Budapest, and separately as a nutritionist — so your training and your eating are planned as one thing rather than by two people who never speak.
Before working independently, I delivered personal training with Steiner Leisure to guests from dozens of countries: people who had never lifted a weight, people rehabilitating injuries, athletes staying sharp while travelling. A programme that only works for motivated 25-year-olds is not a programme. That is where I learned to build ones that do.
I still compete in Bikini Fitness, most recently placing 4th at national level. It keeps me honest — I ask nothing of my clients that I have not asked of myself, including the boring parts.

Train for the life you want to live
Fitness that only exists inside a gym is a hobby with poor returns. Fitness that lets you paddle out on a heavy day, carry your own bags up four flights, or ski a full week without wrecking your knees — that compounds. I surf, snowboard and travel, and I train for exactly that. It is what I build for my clients too.

What you can expect from me
An honest assessment
If your goal and your timeline do not fit together, I will say so in the first session rather than sell you a package.
No shame as a tool
Guilt is a terrible long-term motivator and I do not use it. We deal with what happened and adjust.
Sources over slogans
If I recommend something, I can tell you why and point you to the evidence. If the evidence is thin, I will say that too.
Your programme stays yours
You leave with a plan you understand well enough to run without me. That is the goal, not a threat to my business.
Come and test the fit
