In 12 weeks, we'll identify what's holding your movement back, get you measurable progress, and give you a clear plan to keep improving as you age.
You still get out on the course, into the water, or onto the trail. But lately, your body isn't keeping up with the way you want to live.
I coach active adults in their 40s, 50s, and beyond who want to move with more confidence. We identify useful training priorities and build strength, mobility, and control around the activities that matter to you.
I'm a NASM-certified personal trainer focused on helping you move well to feel confident in the activities you love. In addition to personal training, I have taught hundreds of classes and thousands of students across my yoga classes and workshops. Being active has always been an important part of my life. I love board sports, rock climbing, trampolines, and anything that challenges body control.
The way I train myself combines strength work with calisthenics, mobility, and flexibility. Calisthenics is strength training using your own body weight. Some of my favorite skills to practice are handstands, pull-ups over the top of the bar, and a “floating plank”. These skills take strength, balance, and control. The more confidently I move, the more free I feel.
I coach because I want others to feel that same freedom and confidence in their own lives.
Your goals set the direction. Then I build workouts for your level and the activities you love. The aim is meaningful progress that carries over to your life outside the gym.
A focused 12-week engagement built around how you move now and what you want to keep doing. Your training serves your life outside the gym.
Your starting point and goals shape the plan. Together, we choose realistic milestones that connect your work in the gym to the activities you enjoy.
Jason loves rock climbing. He wanted to get lighter and build strength that would help him on the wall.
His plan: full-body training with a focus on pulling strength. We also eased into meal tracking, building the habit one step at a time. Eating healthy became easier to fit into his day.
After six weeks, he was 20 pounds lighter, had improved his pull-ups, and could climb harder grades. Now he feels more confident about what he can do next.
“I've never been this light or felt this strong before. I wish I would've trained with Drago sooner”
Jason / Personal training client
June–early September. Trend line approximated from Jason's log; other intermediate weigh-ins are not exact. Starting, July 25 (201.0 lb), and latest weights are recorded values. This longer period includes continued progress beyond his first six weeks. Photo labels are rounded weights.
Before coaching personal training clients, a lot of people first experienced my coaching through yoga. The setting is different, but the standard is the same: clear instruction, smart pacing, real challenge, and a room where people feel comfortable pushing their edge.
I consistently book this class because Viktor teaches it. Clear instructions, perfect mix of pace, starts slow, builds to faster, and a blend of a traditional flow plus a balance section.
He often adds in a short fun challenge that is optional, but also really encouraging to try something new and grow.
I'm pretty new to yoga and found his class really inviting and welcoming. Definitely book it.
This was my first intro to Hot Yoga and it was just challenging enough.
Clear instruction so you always know what to do and why it matters.
Smart pacing that starts controlled and builds intensity with purpose.
Challenge without ego, pressure, or random punishment.
Strength, mobility, balance, and body control taught together.
That same standard carries into every personal training session. If you want coaching that actually makes sense, let's talk.
