I started training with John Fasulo after a lower back injury took me out of heavy lifting for…read moreabout 9 months. He told me his goal was to "pour the concrete" to restrengthen my core, help prevent injury and gain strength. He put me on a program called GP - Athletic Strength. The program had a mix of stability, mobility and strength exercises. I had never realized how much stability and mobility played into building strength. I really enjoyed using the app John programs workouts on to track my progress. It allowed me to challenge myself even more with each workout. Each workout phase lasted 4 weeks. Week 1 was spent learning new exercises, by week 4 I was able to confidently complete the workouts and hit new personal records on those lifts. Each phase built upon the last, "pouring the concrete" just as John said. Another thing I liked was that I could consult John if there was an exercise I was having trouble with form, purpose, goal, etc. He was always responsive and thorough in explaining the "whys" of the exercises. I worked with John for about 6 months and not only was I able to return to heavy lifts on compound exercises like dead lifts, squats, bench press (with new personal records on each); my form has drastically improved and I can feel my overall strength has improved, notably core strength. I highly recommend John as a trainer who is knowledgeable, responsive, thorough and goal oriented. I appreciate everything John has done for me and would definitely work with him again!

One of the Top Trainers in San Diego! I started training with John more than a year ago and due to…read moresome injuries/issues that left me feeling like I couldn't get back to my normal exercise or gym routine without at least getting "fixed" or better first! I had incredible improvement in mobility after every session (neck/arm/back issue) along with long term results. We worked around my injuries and through them in order to ensure progress. John's level of expertise and credentials in this area is unmatched. He helped fix what many doctor's, chiropractor's and physical therapists visits just weren't capable of. It was his studies, experience, care, passion, and knowledge to not only know what to do, but find a way that worked for me, my body, and not to mention my extremely busy schedule that made all the difference in the world. We set goals and made them happen. Even when I traveled to Iceland and Ireland, he made a workout I could do at each of my specific hotels according to the amenities available. Last, but not least, and this is coming from a professional in the health and nutrition industry, John truly cares about your goals, and not only knows exercise science (keeps up with the latest research as well), has any tool/equipment needed, but he has great knowledge about health and nutrition and shares it all with a great attitude, so you look forward to working with him and learning from him. All that is invaluable if you want lasting results! I highly recommend John for whatever your goal or experience level is.

I want to start by saying that the coach we had for our free trial at Victory Boxing is amazing…read more During the short time we were able to attend, the coaching itself was solid, motivating, and professional. Unfortunately, my experience with the business side of things was extremely disappointing. we had come from a boxing club that shut down in downtown to victory boxing , then I signed up for the one-week free trial and then paid for a month, and immediately after, I was required to pay $80 up front. Shortly after enrolling, I had to stop due to a sciatica flare-up and a torn meniscus (this injury did not happen at the gym). Because of this, I was unable to continue training and have not been cleared to box, and we are also in the process of moving. I've been in constant communication with people at the boxing gym, letting them know that I still cannot come back. I have called once a month every month since my injury. I called today to speak with someone about the possibility of a refund, given the circumstances. The response I received was a flat no, delivered with a poor attitude and zero empathy. There was no willingness to work with me or even acknowledge the situation, just a quick dismissal. So unfortunately, they will be keeping my $80, and I will not be returning. It's disappointing because the coaching itself was great, but the lack of understanding or care when someone is injured says a lot. It felt like once the money was paid, the situation no longer mattered. If you're perfectly healthy and never expect a setback, this might work for you, but if anything unexpected happens, don't expect flexibility or compassion.

I am not seeing Marko for fitness but for his Acupressure-Massage for cronic soft tissue hip pain…read more Before I found Marko, through a trusted friend, I tried deep tissue massage, chiropractic, ultrasound, laser treatments, stretching, sauna, swimming and exercise. Nothing was working and I'm trying to get in shape to hike mountains in Colorado in 3 months but have a lot of pain just walking my dog, sitting or sleeping! After just two sessions with Marko and I'm finally getting some relief. I'm so excited to finally feel like I won't have to cancel my hiking trip! This is a massage like no other I have ever had and I work in the spa industry. He is so strong and gets so deep that while it is happening it is quite painful but he guides you in breathing through it and doesn't go beyond what each client can personally handle. You could never get a massage this deep at a professional business - it's that deep! You have to really want to get better and trust that doing the work will get you there. If that is your attitude then Marko is the one to work with. You can check his credentials on his fitness website: MarkoFitness.com. He is located in Carmel Valley right off I-56. I highly recommend Marko Dresevic.

Bottom line: I've lost 25 lbs and re-gained a craving for exercise since I started training with…read moreMarko 9 months ago. Feel free to stop here if you are already sold, but I'll give you my story if you need some more convincing. Last year I put on 50 pounds during my pregnancy with my first child. I realized towards the end of my pregnancy that if I did not do something to lose that weight after I gave birth that I would be "one of those women who lost their figure and never got it back" for the rest of my life. I decided then that my goal was to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight by the time I went back to work after maternity leave. Marko helped me achieve this goal, and I absolutely could not have done it without him. I started training with Marko six weeks and three days postpartum. I had not worked out for months since before my pregnancy, and had not consistently worked out in years. I was very lucky to lose 35 of those 50 pounds the first three weeks after I gave birth just from nursing, but the weight loss stopped there and I was stuck with another fifteen pounds that wouldn't budge. The first thing you notice about Marko is that he is incredibly fit. The next thing you notice about Marko is that everyone he is training is incredibly fit. As I looked at the perfectly sculpted body of the other woman Marko would be training alongside me that first day I felt completely intimidated and extremely hopeful at the same time. I wondered if I would ever get back into my pre-pregnancy jeans, but I figured if he helped her look as good as she did perhaps there was hope for me too. The thing is, she is not an anomaly. Everyone who works out with him looks that good! I'm not going to lie, the training was brutal at first. I was completely out of shape, and working out after 3-5 hours of interrupted sleep with a newborn was no joke. But Marko ramped me up slowly. I loved his philosophy about the intensity of workouts. He would demonstrate an exercise for me, give me the number of sets and reps, and then told me to complete them at my own pace. He gave me an analogy about his dog Pablo, "Pablo fetches the ball over and over again until he is tired. Then he stops for a bit an rests in the shade. When he is ready to play again he gets up and keeps going", Marko told me. So I worked out as hard as I could, and I rested when I needed to before starting again. Marko gradually ramped up the intensity of my workouts over the next few weeks as I grew stronger and stronger. I only had the energy to work out with him twice per week, but I committed to always go train with him those two times weekly no matter how exhausted I was from taking care of my new baby. Within a month or so I noticed an incredible change in my stamina and the amount of weight I could lift. By the time I went back to work I had lost every last one of those 15 pounds of pregnancy weight. My co-workers were completely amazed that I had lost all 50 pounds in just 4 and a half months. I'm not sure if it was harder to start working out with a newborn or to keep working out after returning to work full-time and taking care of an infant when I got home. I can also honestly say that I would've fallen off the wagon if it wasn't for Marko encouraging me to keep up my new level of fitness and to not lose momentum. As I tried to get back into the groove at work there were times I was not able to train with Marko and would instead try to workout on my own. Marko would send me texts to check in on me and ask if I had made time to workout that week. The guilt I would feel if I had not done so would make me go to the gym the next day. Plus I knew that he would kick my a*#$ the next time I trained with him so I better stay in shape or I would be seriously feeling it. I am still training with Marko, and I now weigh 10 pounds less than I did when I got pregnant. This weekend I put on a dress I bought before I met my husband that had not fit since. The dress fit perfectly, and he had never seen me in it in the five years we have been together. I can now say that Marko has not only transformed my body but he has transformed my life. I really look forward to working out with him, and am self-motivated to workout on my own three or four days a week. Marko still sends me texts to check in on me and make sure I'm, "Doing my homework," as he says. The best part is when I workout at the same time as one of his other clients who hasn't seen me for awhile and they say, "Wow, you look great!". So what are you waiting for!? If we happen to train at the same time one of these days I guarantee you won't know that I am the one who weighed over 200 pounds last July. I am on my way to having the beautiful atheletic body the rest of Marko's clients have as you will be too if you call Marko!
