About
I coach one-on-one at my private studio in Boston and in clients' homes across Greater Boston. Twenty years on the floor, 30,000 one-on-one sessions. Former elite national athlete, degree in Exercise Science and Coaching, EREPS Level 6, corrective exercise specialist, Level 2 Mat and Reformer Pilates instructor. Strength and conditioning coach to Olympic-level swimmers at national federation level. What holds my attention now is ageing strong after forty. The people who hire me are short on time, long on responsibility, and come to me with worrying blood work, a back or joint that hurts, a body rebuilding after surgery or treatment, or a long history of programs that did not hold. After forty, generic programs stop working and start hurting. I do not use them. Every new client starts with the Starter Package: 4 sessions over 3 weeks. Session 1 is a paid 50-minute movement assessment - your history and injuries first, then pattern before load. It ends with a clear recommendation, sometimes that I am not the right fit. I work alongside physicians, never instead of them. If you want short-term fixes, I am the wrong coach. If you want structure, clear coaching and results that hold for years, send me a message.

The best trainer I’ve ever worked with. I feel comfortable during the workouts, I can handle the exercises without feeling exhausted, and at the same time I’ve seen results much faster than with other trainers — results I didn’t even achieve after six months of intensive training.

Can is good. I'm instantly feeling better after starting to workout with him. Just right balance between overtired and too easy. Always attentive, responsive and professional. Obviously very knowledgeable about anatomy and knows what he's doing. Recommended.

Coach C is very knowledgeable he personalizes workouts to your current needs, he is very patient, but at the same time makes sure you are doing your workout right. I highly recommend him as a personal trainer.

I’ve been working with Coach C for a month and I’m amazed at how much progress I’ve made towards my fitness goals in such a short time. The workout program has been both challenging and fun. I can’t say enough good things about him!

I’ve been training with Can for about 5-6 weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. He has a keen focus on form and the quality of each rep, which has helped me feel significantly stronger. Can also makes workouts enjoyable, turning each session into a fun challenge. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to improve their fitness!
