Dusan’s Success Stories
Sean C.
Over the past 14 months, Dušan’s training expertise has transformed my fitness and well-being. When we started, I was overweight, struggling with strength and balance, and even had trouble getting up from the floor. Within six months, I had lost 21 pounds and, since then, have made major progress in core strength, balance, and muscle development in my arms, legs, and glutes.
Dušan brings comprehensive knowledge of training and therapy, creating progressively challenging routines with a strong focus on safety. He’s helped me address shoulder impingement through targeted stretches and injury-prevention techniques. His active listening, encouragement, and ability to hold me accountable keep me motivated. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved so far and excited for even more progress ahead.

I’ve had the privilege of training with Dusan for the past year with the goal of improving bone density and building strength through safe, progressive weight training. His energy, patience, and attention to form have made a real difference. Dusan’s encouragement helps me hit new targets with confidence and without injury. I feel stronger, more resilient, and better prepared for long-term health thanks to his guidance.

After 17 years in a sedentary job, I joined the center in retirement, knowing I needed to improve my fitness. Working with Dusan twice a week has made a tremendous difference. From day one, he brought encouragement and positive energy that made me look forward to every session. He pushes me to do my best while keeping workouts supportive and motivating, always explaining movements clearly so I feel confident trying new things.
Since starting with Dusan, my health has improved physically, mentally, and overall. I’m stronger, walk and swim faster, have more stamina, fewer aches and pains, and better balance. Most importantly, my mindset around fitness has completely changed for the better. Dusan is knowledgeable, passionate, and truly invested in helping his clients succeed. I highly recommend him.
