Cat is an excellent Trainer.
I love my sessions with him.
He challenges my mindset about fitness and the combination of boxing and strength has made such a difference for me. As a result, I’ve definitely become stronger and more agile.
Training with Cat has been a game-changer. Not only have I become fitter, stronger, and healthier, but I’ve also gained an ongoing sense of motivation, even during periods when personal life distractions made it tough to stay on track. Cat doesn’t just push me physically, he understands my passion for training and helps me mentally discover the joy in pushing my limits. His support has not only shaped my body but also empowered me to enjoy and appreciate what my body is capable of.
I absolutely recommend Catalin as a martial arts instructor and high intensity and stamina functional personal trainer. His many years of valuable experience catalyse his knowledge in a pleasantly challenging but efficacious way
Training with Catalin has been nothing short of transformational. His energy, fighting spirit, and no-nonsense style push you to show up as your strongest self—every single time. He doesn’t just train bodies; he builds mindset, resilience, and grit. Catalin brings a powerful mix of intensity, motivation, and deep knowledge that keeps every session purposeful and empowering.
Thanks to his guidance, I’ve not only become physically stronger but mentally tougher. He’s helped me unlock a version of myself I didn’t know existed. If you’re ready to be challenged and changed, Catalin is the one.See more recommendations
