Mean Gene

Let’s take it ALL the way back to the beginning. I was born in Moscow, Russia on a beautiful spring day in April, 1989. In 1991 my family immigrated to America and settled in Brooklyn, NY. At an early age I watched my Father’s health deteriorate from Marfan’s syndrome, a disease that attacks the heart, lungs, and eyes. He died when I was only 10 yrs old. After many hardships, bankruptcy, estranged family members, and personal struggles, I grew up with a bitterness in my heart that left me angry and confused. With no role models and very few loyal friends, I never felt like I could count on anyone and that crushed my spirit as a child.

Fast forward to today… I feel that the self-reliance I developed, from what many would label as a traumatic start to life, is what sets me apart from everyone around me and is ultimately my greatest strength. What changed you ask? I became obsessed with self development. I set my ego aside and became a student, a student to my coach, and a student of life. After countless hours of researching, studying, and training I began to apply these fundamental principles to my everyday life. I developed a taste for reading books and my progress skyrocketed. Reading made my mind civilized, training made my body savage.

Now I pass the torch to those who have the very same fire that once used to burn me up and teach them how to properly control it. Fire can either burn you to ashes or it can make you an inferno of strength, discipline and power. As a coach and mentor I teach perseverance, self-belief, core confidence (not situational confidence), the warrior mindset, AND I will get you in the best shape of you life. Self-empowerment is the only true power and I will teach you the most powerful skill of all, self-sufficiency.
