After moving from toxic relationship to toxic relationship through his early thirties, Andrei had an epiphany moment during the Coronavirus pandemic. He’d decided that he’d Had Enough of his dad body and was ready to make a lifestyle change and become the man he always wanted to be.
Now, with his new and improved lifestyle choices, he’s absolutely crushing it in terms of fitness, nutrition, muscle growth, and life coaching. He takes a very personal approach to his coaching, focusing on 1-on-1 transformations that time months and even years to accomplish.
Andrei focuses more on installing good, life-long habits as opposed to using trendy “get fit quick” diets and programs as these rarely succeed.
In the podcast, Andrei and I take a deep dive into the mental changes that needed to happen during his transformation and how this applies to his coaching. We talk specifics about overcoming our internal monologue of failure into one of compound success.
