A spine injury two years caused me to abandon my workout routine and after a surgery last year, I racked on pounds. I started getting back to a regular workout routine after recovery but wasn't seeing any results and wasn't dropping any weight. That's when I started searching for nutritionists that could help with my weight loss and ran into Boris! He was very responsive and reached out to me to explain how the process worked. I signed up for a two week trial and started seeing my weight drop almost immediately! Right after the trial, I signed up with him for a few months. His coaching was very precise and he helped me understand not only how much of macro nutrients I should be eating but also why. The why behind what I was doing was critical for me to understand how this change in habit was helping my weight loss goals. Boris was very responsive throughout the time he coached me, he would check my food log regularly and give me timely feedback. He also recommended many food products that were super healthy and delicious. He has a group on WhatsApp with everyone he coaches and shares his meals everyday for ideas and inspiration. From the time I started working with Boris in April, I lost 10lbs! I am eating healthy, my energy levels are up and I'm being conscious of what I put in my body - not just food but alcohol too. Working with Boris changed my relationship with food forever and I learnt exactly what works for me! Thank you for your coaching, Boris!!

I may be one of the hardest clients Boris has worked with. I work long hours coupled with making a lifestyle change. That said, Boris was a true professional and supportive along the way. Encouragement was balanced with accountability. As a result, I've passed an initial milestone of 20lbs lost and will surpass the next this month to be back below 200lbs. I'm very thankful for the tools, strategy and coaching along the way. Thanks you Boris! Get that 1% yall!
Boris is very attentive to your needs and goals. He is willing to adjust and adapt as your schedule changes. There is no substitute for being disciplined and committed but Boris is an incredible resource.
Boris helped me get in the best shape of my life before my wedding. He put together a great plan, taught me so much, and helped me look my best. Boris is very friendly and easy to work with, but is also good at giving honest feedback so you stick to the plan and actually get the results you want. I highly recommend Boris!
Boris has been truly amazing and great working for him the past 6 months. His plan for me was well crafted and personal that you couldn’t optimize from nutrition apps alone. You can’t receive answers to everything you need through one conversation. You need to follow a plan that is adjusted as you progress. I work in sales for a global IT company and also a certified trainer. As someone who travels a lot for vacations, global volunteer efforts, and seeing friends, it was helpful knowing he adjusted my macros prior so I wouldn’t lose too much progress. Achieving a flat stomach is something I always wanted.
I have been working Boris and team for a year now. I am so pleased with the results. He creates customized meal plans that are tailored to my individual needs and goals. We also do workouts with both Boris and David on Zoom. It's amazing to see how Boris cares about the results. He is always available to answer questions and provide motivation and guidance. His knowledge of nutrition and fitness is extensive and I can honestly say that he has helped me become healthier and more fit. I highly recommend his services to anyone wanting to reach their fitness and nutrition goals.
Boris has delivered on everything he promised and more. He has absolutely been a one stop shop for all health and fitness needs. He focuses on results without compromising mental or physical health. I am sure there are other trainers out there who can get you results but none I have seen are so focused on the details with what is going on physiologically for long term health like Boris. If you buy into his programs he will get you results, period. You will not regret choosing him.

I hired Boris for my nutrition needs while having stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. He responded right away and has been so pleasant to work with. On my initial Zoom with him, my husband and 5 children all decided to change their nutrition and exercise goals as well. Boris took time to interview each person and understand their struggles and goals. He then put together an individual plan for me and my family. He is very knowledgeable. Honestly I thought a guy that is as in shape as Boris is would be egotistical. But he is SO nice and humble! Thanks Boris. We’re so excited to work with you!
Never felt so valued like Boris makes me feel. He listens and takes into consideration my thoughts and concerns while guiding me to my goal. Not to mention I live on the other side of the country from where he is located and I am more in contact with him than I was when I had a personal trainer here. I am in the beginning phases of my journey and I am so excited about where I am headed. Thanks Boris, you are THE BEST!!!
