I first met Ruslan by chance encounter, when one of my friends suggested he join in poking fun at my poor attempts at rehabbing a self-diagnosed injury. It was mid-2007, and I'd been struggling for the better part of a year with an injury whose symptoms were hamstring and lower-back pain. It hurt when I played soccer. It hurt when I ran. It hurt when I reached over to pick up the tv remote off the floor. Not cool. It had gotten to the point that I was even willing to entertain friends' suggestions to try some awful form of two-legged dumbell hamstring curl while hanging off a flat bench.
RK "What are you trying to do with that exercise?"
GT "I dunno. I think my back and hamstrings might secretly be trying to sabotage the rest of my body. Why? Do you know how to fix that?"
RK "I might be able to help."
Before I had any clue what had just happened, Ruslan had put me through a movement screen and concluded that the cause of the pain was likely that my glute max not firing when extending the hip joint. The pain was a result of the hamstring and back being overworked. He emailed me a few exercises to try on my own, and I immediately noticed a slight relief.
I'm typically a hard-sell with anything that involves trusting someone else for help (especially when it also involves parting with my money), but I was suitably impressed by Ruslan's ability to figure my problem in mere minutes, that I figured I had found someone who could actually deliver on his promises.
It's been about eight months now that I've been working with Ruslan, and he has more than delivered. I no longer have any hamstring or lower-back pain when playing sports. The hip pain that I used to get when standing after having spent a full day sitting in my office is gone, and it's not coming back. I've had the added benefit of being able to lose some bodyfat through better nutritional habits, and I've put on muscle for good measure. All in all, this was a great investment.

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Ruslan on both a personal and professional level. I feel his success can be attributed to something that you can’t learn in school….his passion. Ruslan’s career is not just a job to him it’s something he looks forward to every day because he loves what he does. More...

Having lost about 25 lbs of fat, improved my muscle composition and tone, achieved better health, and regained a normal blood-pressure level, I am indeed most satisfied.
Ruslan is much more than just a good Personal Trainer – he is a motivator, coach and friend. I would be very please if his excellent work might be further recognized. More...
