”In a world full of mediocre online trainers Lambda strength is where I go when I want results, a team I can trust to have my back, and systems that make Jarvis look disorganized.”

Sameem

With so many competing voices online promising to get you buffed and ripped, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to tell who’s legit and who’s a con artist.

The good folks at Lambda Strength are as legit as they come. I’ve personally used them and was amazed at how spot on their programs and advice are.

I don’t consider them competitors in the online coaching space, but rather Brothers in Arms fighting on the side of evidence-based practices and kick ass results.
I could not recommend them more highly!”

Chad Landers

Owner of Push Private Fitness, Celebrity trainer and 2018 NSCA Personal Trainer of the Year

I’ve always been fairly lean but struggled to attain and maintain the definition that I needed for my modeling; until I started training with Dan that is.

He taught me not to demonize carbs and to properly fuel my body for the intense training sessions that he would put me through. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would recommend his services to anyone looking to take their physique to the next level.

Nhung Nguyen

Vietnam Airlines Stewardess

So for me it was simple. I wanted that beach body aka 6 pack. I used Daniels service and not only did I reach that result without injuries and silly supplements but I was really impressed with Daniels knowledge in fitness – everything from lifting weights to even helping me deal with social situations whilst dieting.

Dan and I started working together long before I started competing in international beauty pageants.

At the time I wanted to take my aesthetics to a new level in order to kick start my modeling career, and, under Dan’s guidance, not only did I get stronger and noticeably firmer, but I also leaned out to such a degree that I was noticed, and immediately scouted for the Miss Earth 2018 pageant, which, thanks to our extensive physical preparation, I was able to win.

Dan has not only helped me to get into the best shape of my life, but has also proven to be a great friend, particularly during the times when the pressure was taking its toll.

I would highly recommend Lambda Strength’s services to everyone and anyone that wants to look and feel great.

Nguyen Phuong Khanh

Miss Earth 2018

”Having been in the fitness industry for a long time I’ve come across the whole spectrum of different coaches. While there are some differences between them, there are too many copycat, re-hashing, circle jerk pretenders contaminating the industry and it makes me sick.

Dr. Bojan stands out from the rest. For better or worse, he is 100% honest with what he thinks and he will tell you what you need to hear, even if you don’t want to.

He may not dry your tears and hold your hand but he will guide you in every way possible to maximise your full potential and motivate you to keep on grinding.Throughout the years Bojan has been an invaluable advisor and coach when it comes to training, nutrition and medical matters – but more than that he has also become a mentor and a trusted friend.”

NADIM

Personal Trainer, Natural Physique Athlete

Having Dan there to walk me through our sessions gave me the confidence to stretch myself. In only a few weeks, I was seeing clearer definition and slimming in my arms and thighs (both problem areas).

If you’re going to give your money to a trainer, give it to someone who truly loves what they do and is willing to devote the necessary energy to your success. I found that in Dan and gained a friend in the process.

Malikat Rufai

Diplomat

”This was the first time I actually managed to finish a cut. I’ve tried and given up on numerous occasions on my own but it wasn’t until I contacted Dr. Bojan that I was finally equipped with the knowledge and tools that I needed to reach my body composition goals. Once he finally agreed to take me on as a client (yes you sort of have to ”qualify” in order to get his help) I lost 15.9lbs (7,2kg) in 13 weeks while adding 22lbs (10kg) to my deadlift and 16,5lbs (7,5 kg) to my squat.

The setup was simple but extremely effective: follow these guidelines, always do your best, report to me daily and never (EVER) give up. And when your mind starts playing tricks on you – I’m one email away.”

ADAM

Cancer researcher

I’ve always been an avid athlete but as is the case with a lot of people, life just “got in the way” after college. I gained weight and just didn’t feel like myself and it was affecting my energy levels and overall sense of wellbeing. I knew I needed help so I reached out to Dan. Not only did he help me back on track with my weight, but he also proved to be one of the kindest, most trustworthy people I have ever met. All I wanted was to get my bikini body back but ended up making a friend for life on top of that.

Carley Butler

School Teacher

”I can’t find the right words that justify the incredible physical development I’ve had over the last few years since I started training with Bojan. I mean just look at that before-after picture. It still feels surreal that is’s me on both sides of that transformation.

Bojans methods allows me to compete in non drug tested bodybuilding shows, and despite being an all time drug free athlete, consistently stand among the best.

I can’t wait to start competing in drug-tested international shows and really see how far we can take this”.

ROBIN

Natural Bodybuilder

I’ve been underweight and injury prone all my life and knew that I needed to boost my health if I wanted to boost my chances of climbing the corporate ladder. Dan made this easy: he provided me with a plan that covered training, prehab, nutrition, and progress metrics. All I needed to do was to show up and execute.

His no nonsense approach to training made it easy to stick to the plan even when I was swamped at work or going on frequent business trips. There were times that he would even come to my office to train me when I was short on time.
I gave him a goal and he delivered. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, passionate, and capable, I couldn’t recommend Dan enough.

Daphne Pham

Managing Director Uber Vietnam

I’m one of those people who wanted to ‘lose weight and tone up a little’. I wasn’t looking to become the next Arnold Schwarzenegger, I wanted to be like me but fitter, stronger and healthier.

I consulted Daniele before our training started and set out some realistic and achievable goals. Daniele spent time talking through my diet and exercise regimen and analyzed my performance in the gym. He was friendly, positive, encouraging and incredibly knowledgeable.

When we set to work, he carefully demonstrated a number of new techniques that would help me. He guided me through my first steps, tweaked and changed as I tried them out and helped me to develop a ‘self-awareness’ that meant I could go home and understand how to continue training effectively.

Daniele continued to support me – even when we weren’t in session.

He often helped me with food and recipe ideas, sent encouragement when things were going well and helped me to refocus and become more goal oriented if my diet slipped.

This kind of reliability was really appreciated and further demonstrated his dedication to providing the very best service to his clients.

Sam Williamson

High school teacher

Dan is one of the most inspirational people I have ever met; he makes the training process engaging, fun, but most importantly, he takes the time to help you figure out for yourself what will get you the results you want!

As an educator, I was more than impressed with the care he took to explain the thought process behind his training programs and nutritional recommendations – he doesn’t just want you to follow instructions – he wants you to take ownership of the process so that you can get into, and stay in the best shape of your life.

I couldn’t have been happier with the results we got working together.

Ania Semmerling

University Lecturer

Training is something I take very seriously and spend a majority of my life thinking about.

I started down this path because growing up I became extremely ill and remained that way most my life. I used training as a tool to get my life back together and through that journey reached out to ,worked with, and have met countless absolutely amazing people in the fitness industry.

I’ve had the privilege to work with Mr Olympias, Ms Olympias , Fitness Celebrity Icons and Best Selling Authors and soaked in a lot of the industry and what makes a great trainer.

I can say without a doubt Daniele is such an individual . He is someone who is in the industry for all the right reasons and we are all lucky to have him here and anyone would be lucky to have him as a coach

Brad Kelly

Personal trainer

I’ve always been lean and athletic, but wanted to push the boundaries of what I could achieve strength-wise. So I started working with Dan. I was blown away by his mastery in all things health, fitness, and nutrition; in a matter of weeks I was doing advanced bodyweight exercises without any assistance – I’m talking about archer pushups, deadhang pullups, and single leg squats.

Dan knows his stuff, so if you’re looking for someone to push you to the next level, reach out to him – you will not be disappointed!

My Lan Nguyen

Owner of Work Life Balance Vietnam

I met Daniele when I first decided to make fitness a part of my life. I had no clue how to properly execute exercises or how to write programs. All I knew is that I wanted to become a personal trainer – Dan took me under his wing and taught me the ropes.

I learned about program design, nutrition and most importantly about mindset. If you’re looking for a coach to guide you through your fitness journey, look no further. He’s your guy.

Huy Huynh

Personal Trainer

I reached out to Dan for one reason: to help me look my absolute best on my wedding Day.

We didn’t have much time, and as you can imagine, the weeks and months leading up to my big day were some of the busiest of my life.

And yet we managed to get the work in every single week. Dan made sure of it.

He was attentive, supportive, and most importantly, he held me accountable, especially on the days when the last thing I wanted to do was to train.

He’s not only one of the best trainers I have ever met, but also someone I consider a friend.

I couldn’t have done it without him.

Nguyen My Dung

Wedding Planner

I worked with Lambda fitness for several months following an injury. After a very detailed consultation with Mr. Moretti we embarked upon a workout system that would both strengthen my body and my mind, encourage good eating habits, and prevent further injuries.

I was satisfied with the gradual development. My gains were both sustainable and rewarding.

Cameron Thomas-Shah

Diplomat

Before asking Daniel for help, I was approximately 80kg (1m69) and I was also diagnosed with psychological disturbances of vegetative function: my breathing function was impaired and I easily got fatigued.

However, after a few months of following his instruction, I started to lose weight and developed muscle. Still, the most important thing that I got was my confidence. After a year, I lost 16kg and my stamina increased significantly. I thought that in the process of losing weight, I might lose muscle but I didn’t. In fact, I got 4kg added muscle at the same time with losing 16kg.

Maybe I was a new guy so that made me easily lose weight and increase muscle mass. However, his method worked just fine. His focus was about the lower body, most of his exercises are about squats and deadlifts plus the diet plan that he gave me was flexible.

None of this would have worked if his enthusiasm did not exist, his passion inspires people who are weak and discourage.

The Spartan spirit of him radiates the darkness of mediocre behaviors and keeps on lighting up the torch that was one dull inside my heart.

Long Nguyen

Physique competitor

I needed to get in good shape for my wedding and reached out to Dan amongst a number of other trainers in my area. It wasn’t long before I knew that there was no one else I’d rather work with. Dan is knowledgeable, dependable, and truly loves what he does.

Every morning he would show up to the gym at 5.45 in preparation for our 6.00 sessions, and every morning he would take me through a workout that was specifically designed for me. I had been dealing with a number of injuries so he took special care to help train around them.

Evan Tapping

General Manager at Hilty Vietnam

If somebody is looking for real life changing experience, go for Lambda team. No bulshit talking guys. They walk the talk and you can see the real difference in your lifestyle.

As somebody said hardwork is the key of succees which can be fuelled easily with the help of right Mentor. Cheers to team Lambda.. cheers to Daniele.

Harsh Jain

Victoria’s Secret production manager

Regardless years of experience with weight training I still wanted to learn and become a better version of myself. Working with Lambda it’s being an ongoin learning process and selfdevelopment for me.

Dragan is very knowledgable and knows what is talking about when it comes about nutrition. I drastically improved my body composition thru strict diet plans, I became more disciplined with my diet and I experienced workouts that I’d never thought to be able to do on my own. The process sometimes sucked but I’m very happy with my results.

Andy Edwards

Physique competitor

A lot of people ask me why I would go out of my way to hire a coach. The truth is that even though I’m a fitness professional myself, it’s really hard to be objective about your own training and nutrition, especially when you want to prep for a physique show.

So I did a little digging around and ended up placing my contest prep in Bojan’s capable hands. Not only did I get into the BEST shape of my life (just look at the pictures), but he and one of his head coaches BOTH flew from Europe to Canada to support me the week before the show! WHO DOES THAT?

The boys at Lambda are hands one of the absolute best team of experts I have ever come across. If you have a fitness goal, and need a little help to get there, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

Louis Guarino

Fitness expert and physique competitor

Dan and I started training together because I needed a little kick in the ass to get in a sensible routine. I knew what I needed to do but I just wasn’t doing it. So I reached out to him and asked him to help me develop the habits I would need to continue training on my own.

He did just that and a whole lot more. He helped me to create a set of sustainable training and nutritional strategies that suited my lifestyle and taught me how to make the needed adjustments during the times life got crazy.

It’s been 8 years and all I can say is that Dan has become one of my closest friends. He’s just that kind of guy.

No matter your goal, he will go above and beyond the call of duty to help you achieve it.

Han

Marketing Executive

I trained with Dan for around 2 years, after which I was relocated for work. Our time together was exceptional: Dan is a true professional and I couldn’t be happier with the results I got. As a more mature trainee, I wasn’t after the superhero look. I just wanted to look and feel my best and that’s exactly what Dan helped achieve.

I lost 5kg, gained a tremendous amount of strength, and fit in my suits better than I ever have.

Bertrand

General Manager Sofitel Saigon

With his contagious passion for health and fitness, Bojan has educated, motivated and inspired me to an amazing transformation in both body and mind. I have lost 32 kg (70,4 lbs) of body weight while getting stronger, faster and smarter.

I have nothing but love for this man, and if it wasn’t for his knowledge, support and big heart, I would never have succeeded in my fat loss journey.

ALEXANDER

Chef

Years of neglect left me fat, weak, and in terrible health. It really started to get to me because I wasn’t following any of the advice I was giving to my patients at the hospital. Something needed to change and I knew that I needed help. So I reached out to Dr. Kostevksi and outsourced the entire process to him because I really had no idea where to start.

I would be lying if I said that I was the perfect client: afterall, being a medical doctor, business owner, and family man can be very challenging. But despite my questionable adherence Bojan still managed to work his magic.

We simply worked on the bare bones basics and went from there. If I had a terrible week of training and nutrition we reset and got ready for the week ahead without any of the usual guilt and pressure that I would torture myself with.

And you know what? The results speak for themselves. I really could not have gotten in the best shape of my life with Bojan’s support and friendship.

Henrik Ownman

Medical Doctor and Business owner

I’d write a proper testimonial but Bojan pretty much hit the nail on the head. If you want to get in shape, make time for it. That’s really the only thing you need to do. The rest you can leave to the good doctor and his team. They’re by far the best in the business.

Michael Malm

Business Owner

“When I first met Bojan I was under the assumption that I wasn’t a rookie and above your average Joe lifter. I mean, I did deadlifts and squats, ain’t nobody gon’ tell me shit.

Jesus was I wrong. From the first moment I met him his enthusiasm and knowledge blew me away. I realised I had only scratched the surface of proper training and in some insane way he managed to remove more then he added in and still make me progress and gain more then I had ever done before in my life – even in a period where I was past my newbie gains. He pushed me through the most intensive work load and program I have ever experience and the results were nothing short of amazing.

My only regret is that I didn’t met Bojan sooner, if I had his guidance from step 1 I can’t imagine where I would be today.”

MICHEL

Business Owner

”The coaching changed my life. I lost 30 kg of body weight (66 lbs) while learning to love the iron game. In the beginning, people kept telling me Bojans’ programs were bullshit, because of his unconventional way of programming and coaching, and that I was doing it all wrong. In the beginning it was really messing with my head. Now, 30 kilos lighter NO ONE questions my methods any more.”

SUSANNE

”The last 30 weeks have been pure hell, I’m not going to lie, BUT the payoff has been huge. Before I started the program, I could never imagine that soon I’d be benching 130 kg and deadlifting 215 kg while looking better by the day. It’s insane, and you have my thanks for giving me a goal and making me tunnel vision my training for this long. Hell of a ride!”

UNI

Powerlifter and physique athlete

“Before consulting Dr. Bojan, I’d been strength training on my own for 8 years with unsatisfying results. Bojan’s inspiring personality, clever programming and extraordinary coaching methodologies opened up a new world to me. The coaching experience has taught me many lessons, but most importantly about how I, using MY own individual capacity, continuous drive, with patience and determination, can truly transform my body beyond what I ever thought was possible.”

DANIEL

Fitness enthusiast

I was skinny and wanted to be jacked. That’s all there is to it. Bojan helped me tap into my potential and put nearly 20kg of muscle on me in less than a year. If you want to be told you’re fine the way you are, look elsewhere. But if you want to experience life changing results, Bojan is your man. There is no one better in the business.

Robin Anderson

Fitness enthusiast

When I started with Lambda, I had already been lifting for 7 years or so. And it was with Lambda, that I realised how little I knew about training and nutrition. After years of obsession, I started to see what intelligent training and nutrition really are. With Lambda I took my body to the next level, and achieved my most shredded physique to this day. But most importantly, with Lambda I regained my mental health, I got rid of my obsession and started enjoying my life, seeing progress in and out of the gym.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg……

Santiago Espinosa

Medical Doctor & Fitness educator at Fiteligente

”Yes, it’s no accident that we share the same last name. My slightly more handsome and slightly less intelligent brother is the one who put a dumbbell in my 15-year old hand and bought me my first psychology book at age 17 when I asked him for booze. His mentoring has made me who I am today. ”

Anton Kostevski

MD

”Dr. Bojan’s programs are as effective as they are hardcore. Since I started training with Bojan, my results have by far exceeded my expectations, even to the extent that last year, I managed to place in the top 6 in two consecutive non-tested bodybuilding shows, despite being an all time drug free bodybuilder, something I never thought would be possible”

ALEX

Natural Bodybuilder

I started following Daniele’s advice around two years ago. After struggling with both anorexia and bulimia and being convinced I had metabolic damage and couldn’t recover, the training Daniele said would help, actually helped immensely.

Patience is key; don’t obsess over numbers; focus on making sensible nutritional choices; be kind to yourself; these are the things that Daniele taught me to implement into my day-to-day.

I am, probably for the first time ever, comfortable in my skin, and am extremely grateful for the compassionate yet tough coaching he gave me. I have complete trust in him, both as a friend and a fitness instructor.

Van Hoang

University student

“The gym sucks.” That was my mentality on personal fitness before meeting Dan Moretti. Lack of motivation and boredom were my two biggest issues with staying consistent at the gym.

After connecting with Dan and following a very personalized workout program, I can confidently say I feel the best I ever have in my life. Sure, I look better and feel better, but the two biggest breakthroughs

I’ve experienced while working with Dan are 1) creating and actually sticking to a workout routine, while also 2) destroying those limiting beliefs I previously had about personal fitness. My current (and future) results are 100% worth the time, money, and energy invested into working with Dan. If you want real results, take advantage of the opportunity he offers, it’s a no-brainer.

Rob Brautigam

Entrepreneur

At the first time when I saw Daniel, guessed his training must be very tight due to his big muscles and serious face when he talks.

However now, I really appreciate about him since I got good result without any stress and pressure during 4 months.
How? just with understandable explanation and and realistic example. Go to step by step as his coaching!

No need to spend long time in gym or change items often. Share your plan with him and just follow his instruction steadily.

Miya Jang

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Designer

The implication of owning a bikini brand is that I have to look the part at all times. I met Dan through a mutual friend who at the time was working with Dan and the rest is history.

It was easy to work with Dan and his team – his plans were always carefully crafted with my body, and more importantly, my health in mind, and the results speak for themselves.

I couldn’t be happier! Lambda Strength is where it’s at.

Lani Pham

Owner of 94Swimwear

I met Dan a few years ago at an event I was hosting alongside one of his clients and something just clicked. His passion and no nonsense approach to health and wellness were obvious and I figured that if my friend was getting incredible results then I really had no reason to look elsewhere.

Fast Forward a handful of months and I looked and felt the best I ever have, and not only that, Dan helped me maintain my best shape ever.

He worked alongside me to help me figure out what training and nutrition protocols would work best for me given my body, lifestyle, and time constraints.

I couldn’t recommend Dan and his team more. If you want to achieve the best results, there is no one else I would trust.

Ha Bui

Owner of Stylelin.vn

As someone that works primarily in the online fashion space, I need to look my best year around. There is no one I trust more than the guys at Lambda to push me physically and mentally.

Not only do they handle my training and nutrition, but they’re also there to support me mentally on the days when I don’t feel my best.

Unlike the trainers I’ve worked with in the past, these guys care about my wellbeing, and I can count on them to deliver the goods in a way that doesn’t compromise my health.

I haven’t had to cut carbs, go on hyper restrictive diets, or do hours and hours of cardio. Their programs are sustainable, realistic, and most importantly, effective. You won’t find anyone better than them.

Huyen Nguyen

Owner of BasicGal.sg

As a touring musician I need to keep in shape year round. After having my first child I really dropped the ball and let myself fall off the wagon. I was tired and unmotivated, and it started to affect my day to day productivity.

Dan helped me to reestablish a good relationship with food, work through a couple of nagging injuries, and got me back into the shape I wanted to be in.

And the best part was that he helped me figure out what worked for me. There were no crazy dietary restrictions, no impossibly convoluted training plans, and absolutely no supplements.

Dan is without a doubt one of the best in the business, not just because he knows his shit, but because he truly and deeply cares about his clients.

Rob Varro

Musician and Producer

About a year before I approached Dan I’d had a stroke that left me paralyzed in half of my body. After a long, grueling and disappointing stint in the rehab center in my home country, I came across Dan through a friend of mine whom he was also training – he listened to me, gathered some background information, and asked me to give him a few days to draft out a new rehab plan for me.

To make a long story short, I got more done in the 4 months we worked together than I did in the year I spent messing around at the rehab clinic. If I hadn’t relocated for work I can say with 100% certainty that I would still be working with him now.

I went from literally not being able to hold a 5kg dumbbell in my left hand to being able to deadlift well over 90kg for sets of 15.

If you’re willing to do the work, Dan WILL get you to where you want to be.

Pulkit Khanna

Tech Lead at Gojek

Growing up I was always into sports but never quite felt as strong as I needed to be in order to excel. I figured I would take my strength journey seriously and decided to hire Dan to help me build the size I needed to boost my performance on the courts.

What can I say? Dan got the job done. I packed 10kg of muscle in the 6 month we trained together and my athleticism went through the roof. No bullshit. No Gimmicks. Just results. Dan is a mad scientist when it comes to gains so if you’re looking for a good trainer, he will get you the results you want.

Blaz Sonnenwald

Investment Banker

I travel a lot for work and sometimes the last thing I want to think about is planning my training programs and nutrition plans. Enter Dan. He has been a GAME CHANGER.

Not only does he take the time to build my training programs, but he also takes into account my travel schedule, my caloric intake, my recovery, as well as the fact that I don’t always have gym access.

Bottom line is this: if you want someone that will help you get the results you want, look no further. You will not find anyone more professional than Dan.

Ryan Felix

Entrepreneur

Oh the irony of working in fashion – you’re expected to look your best 24/7 but barely even get the time to get to the gym. This is why I reached out to Dan – I needed someone to outsource my health and fitness needs to so that I could simply show up, train, and get back to work.

And he delivered. Even during the weeks when deadlines were due Dan still managed to get me to the gym to train – and the best part was that he provided the flexibility I needed to be able to stick to the plan. If I only had 20 minutes to train then we’d train for 20 minutes.

Whatever the circumstance, he would find a way to make it work. I couldn’t have been happier with my results.

Huy Vo

Fashion Designer

Dan is as professional as he is inventive. Not only did he manage to help me rehab my knee injury (complete ACL tear), but he did so during the Covid pandemic when gym were closed off to the public. All we had at our disposal were some resistance bands, a couple of rice bags, and kettlebell, and you know what? That’s all we needed, in the initial stages of the training anyways.

Once we got back to the gym I was amazed at how much strength I had been able to build off of the 6 weeks long rehab we did. I was back to deadlift 70Kg in a matter of weeks.

If you want results, you won’t find anyone better than Dan.

Nhi Dang

Fashion Designer

I have never met anyone as passionate or as knowledgeable about fitness as Dan. His attention to detail is unbelievable, especially when he is coaching you through brand new movements. He knows exactly how to make adjustments to your training form so that you can get the most out of your training.

Not only that but he is approachable and always happy to add value. I could not be happier with him and recommend his services to absolutely anyone looking for a trainer.

My Doan

University Student

In order to reach a new level in my dancing I knew I needed to work on building my strength. Dan was organizing strength and wellness courses at my university so I figured I’d give it a try. I was absolutely amazed at how much strength and stamina I was able to build in just a handful of weeks.

Dan is knowledgeable, passionate, and approachable, but what really sets him apart is his ability to tailor the training program to your specific needs.

I cannot recommend him enough.

Truc

University Student

As an older guy, I have to really take the time to focus on my health and my fitness. Dan worked with me to build my stamina, joint mobility, balance, and strength.

What impressed me the most was his willingness to listen: he never prescribed an exercise that didn’t agree with my body and was always ready to make the adjustments needed to help me make progress.

He is a true professional and I would happily recommend his services to anyone regardless of their age and goals.

Steve Clarke

University Professor

I wanted to lose fat, gain muscle, and improve my performance on the basketball courts. 6 months into our training and I was bench pressing 120kg, deadlifting 175kg, squatting 160kg, and destroying everyone on the courts. Dan’s shit works.

All you have to worry about is showing up and doing the work.

Ming

University student

Working long hours in the pharmaceutical industry begins to take its toll once you reach your mid 30’s. I was drinking too much, smoking 2 packs a day, and woke up every morning feeling drained, stiff, and slow.

I knew I needed to take a stand and make some sensible lifestyle changes. I had heard about Dan from a friend of mine and decided to get to work.

Dan worked with me to help me build a sustainable routine that included training, nutrition, recovery, and de-stressing. He was there every step of the way and really took the time to address the root causes behind my bad habits.

In the end, I was able to reestablish a healthy relationship with food, brought down my alcohol intake to an acceptable level, and even managed to quit smoking.

It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it, and I have Dan to thank for this massive win.

Abhinandan Kumar

Business Owner

What can I say? Bikini season was quickly approaching and I wanted to look the part. Growing up I was a little overweight and was never really able to lean out as much as I wanted to.

Dan was training a friend of mine at the time and was kind enough to give me a couple of training sessions on the house just so I could experience his training methodology.

I was surprised by his approach to training: I always thought that in order to lose weight I had to cut out my carbs and do a lot of cardio. Turns out thatI wasn’t achieving the results that I wanted because I was training and eating in a way that didn’t suit my body.

Dan helped me figure out the right for me and can do the same for you. I can’t recommend him enough.

Mai Huynh

University Student

Before I started with Lambda, I had gotten up to 270 lbs and still gaining weight. After training with Dragan I have gotten down to 220 lbs and we’re still going. I had no real idea what I was doing when I was starting out, but Dragan set me straight with a great meal and training plan, he’s quick to reply when I have any questions and he’s there to provide a swift kick in the ass for accountability.

Carlos Sepulveda

I began training with Dragan a few years back. His approach is very structured and well
thought out tailoring every workout program to the individual. It all starts with answering some basic questions about your lifestyle, past experience, injuries, and so forth. This allows him to tailor the program not only in a way to meet your goals and needs but also to ensure the best possibility of compliance. Self-admittance that I am not in better shape is mostly in part to myself not strictly adhering to diet. Regardless of that, I still made gains in strength and my overall frame and structure changed for the better.
Dragan, at least in regards to me, has kept me on macro dieting which is helpful and
flexible for my hectic lifestyle.

I work in the service industry, restaurants, and bars. This makes my hour’s abnormal and eating 6 small meals a day or whatever typical people do unrealistic. The philosophy is simple and assists in managing my weight. This also allows me, within reason, to eat some foods like ice cream or what not and not take a full cheat day or ruin my diet. I just have to count the macros and calories and work my other meals around it.

The workouts themselves were always geared to what I had available to me and my schedule. It is unrealistic to expect the working person to exercise 6-7 days a week, though I wanted to. So based on request, I would receive 4-5 days a week. Dragan also works in exercises that I enjoy, but also exercises that I need in order to improve stability and weaknesses. It helps push through my ego. He also unifies strength and high repetition lifting to achieve max results.

I highly recommend Dragan and Lambda Strength for all your needs whether you’re a beginner or experienced weight lifter.

For over two years I’ve been working one on one with Dragan. When we first started, I was pretty much a newbie in the gym. As a high school athlete and then a coach, I had “lifted” but never with knowledge, purpose, or intent. Bench, curl, bench, curl, repeat.

Dragan has really exposed me to a whole other world as far as what can be done in (and out) of the gym. His programs are truly unique; not a cookie cutter, run of the mill approach. I can guarantee that what you get with will not see duplicated or replicated online or in your gym.

When we first started working together, I was a big, fat, mediocrely strong guy. Over the next year and change we proceeded to just kill it. Plainly put. I had my ups and downs but Dragan was there to guide me through them. Consistency over time was key. I went from a high of 282 to a low of 225.

And then over the better part of last year I fell off. I stopped caring and stopped “efforting”. I slowly let the weight creep back on. Be it through bad habits, stress, change, apathy, whatever, I undid much of the work we did.

Throughout this, Dragan was there. I think understanding and philosophically aware of what was going on; more so than I’ll probably ever comprehend.

Even through this period, the one thing that remained was consistency. He made sure I was consistently training and consistently working towards a better version of myself. I had more bad days than good days, but having good days was still having good days.

So now, even sitting at 275, I can say I’m bigger and stronger than at any point in the last two years. I feel better and look better.

If you’re looking for a quick fix, 3 month turn around, Dragan probably isn’t for you. But. If you are looking for someone who will be dedicated to you over the long run, take your life and all it’s fucked up intricacies, listen to your input, use it, give shit, give a shit enough to give you tough love when you need it, someone who is consistent, then look no further.

Dragan is an incredibly smart, thorough, and personable trainer. Any fitness related question I could possibly have, the man knows the answer to. His knowledge level has helped me learn even more about fitness over the last year and helped me fine tune what I need to know for me and my body.

His attention to detail is outstanding, thoroughly checking every body measurement, macro count, weigh in, and progress picture to determine the best course of action to improve my body’s aesthetics and power. He holds nothing back, letting you know where you are falling short through tact and being personable. He is also good at figuring out how to motivate you, when necessary, depending on your personality.

Working with Dragan has been incredible.
