Success stories
Hersovyac is a humble man, efficient, and helped me out not getting lost in the incredible amount of advice available on the Internet. He always shares sound information thanks to his great experience with weight training. He's allowed me to continue to progress towards my fitness goals without getting hurt for over one year. I strongly recommend him.
Hersovyac is a very knowledgeable fitness coach who is an expert in the field. He is really easy to talk to, and can explain any concept and make it understandable even for the most inexperienced people. I have been working with him for the past 9 months in total. During the first month, I just started to implement some of his advice into my routine and I noticed a great difference in the way I performed and felt. This led me to make the decision to use his online personal coaching and I haven't been disappointed.
He is really passionate, hardworking and willing to help with every little detail in my customized fitness plan and, when asked, he can help even with the most ridiculous thing such as counting calories in local foods, or figuring out a plan that will also help with my general well being. Personally, I have progressed a lot with his help and his mentoring. Also, one big plus in my book is the fact that he helps you keep being accountable and if you need to adjust your plan for a specific activity or event, he is always happy to help. The results speak for themselves as you can see from my pictures.
He has helped me grow both physically and mentally and with his help, I can progress even in my worst weeks. Since I am a student with very little to no time to train, he made a tailored workout schedule program that fits my needs and wishes in such a way that even after 7h of studying, I am still willing to go to the gym simply because I enjoy his workout, which is so well appropriate.
I met Hersovyac 3 years ago and it was just like when Neo met Morpheus... He made me explode all my plateaus! I became leaner and stronger (today, I lift weights that I thought were totally off charts), I also learned so much about nutrition and can now manage my diet on my own. And the big pro is that he is always available and nice!
Hersovyac has been my Personal Trainer for close to 6 months now. He has helped me develop a liking for full body and grow bodybuilding-wise! I highly recommend him as a fine, supportive and attentive Personal Trainer!
Why did I, a personal trainer, took Hersovyac, a great friend of mine as my own coach ? Well, to get better in a sport I didn't know. When you want to learn and improve at something, you got to be taught and live it. Same thing here, I wanted someone that would help get better at building my body, see the techniques and mindset throughout since I always struggled to put on mass.
As a result I am now more competent and knowledgeable now in bodybuilding and strength training, and that's coming from someone with a weightlifting/crossfit consequent luggage ! Big thanks for the help my man ! He is a great coach and physical educator, very precise and clever in his approach, I immensely grew and evolved !
Hersovyac unlocked my progression. I was stuck, but thanks to his experience and his broader perspective on my situation, he truly helped me to reach the next step of my journey. I would absolutely recommend anyone to follow his advices!
Hersovyac has followed me through a difficult time of my life, and has proven himself not only a great coach, but an amazing human being, strict when needed and kind always.
He provides a program adapted to your needs and level that contributed to increase both my strenght and cardio as well as better my posture. He was able to detect a weakness in my right hip / knee in comparison to the left side of my body, and contributed to better my form in multiple movements including my squat. I can now continue my training with a safer and more efficient form.
I cannot describe how perceptive he is when it comes to body analysis and grasping quickly your strenghts and weaknesses. You really will have to live through it and be in owe of his abilities to understand how knowledgeable he truly is.
Furthermore, he always responded to my inquiries properly and quickly and adapted my program when it was necessary.
If you need a coach and hesitate when it comes to picking one, search no further as you have just found a true expert and a beautiful soul.
Former high level athlete, I let myself completely go after a big injury, and that, for years. In 2021, being in a pretty rough shape already, I had a motorbike accident that left me crippled for months. It resulted in me closing in on 30 years old and being in my worst shape ever. What I hadn't lost by bedridden was definitely covered by a fat layer with terrible diet and a stereotypical "skinny fat" look. Furthermore, mental health was the perfect image of the physique too.
In a motivation burst, I decide to get myself back on trail. But my case being catastrophic if not desperate, I realized I needed a professional, a coach. But not anybody. Like I said above, I was a former high level athlete, with a good education training wise. Hersovyac name immediately came to mind, because the fact is, after listening to his podcasts, watching his contents, videos, articles, I know I am witnessing a professional with a mountain size knowledge regarding training, nutrition, human body. Seeing all his experience added to it, I concluded he was the perfect candidate. Even before coaching me, we would often speak several times. I wasn't even training yet but my motivation and drive were sky high ! And that's one of Axel's greatest strength : understanding the psychological side, the human inside us. Much more than his training and physical preparation skills, he can pin point someone, and that makes a world big difference. I have met plenty of great coaches in my life, but someone as dedicated and driven as Axel ? You won't find that everywhere I can tell you that much !
What I remember and keep from our work together is the comeback of my drive and love for the sport, for the physical straining and grinding, and even more, my self confidence I had lost many years ago. Now it's there, within me, and it won't go anywhere again anymore. And that, is all thanks to him. And for that, I give you my biggest thanks. If I had but one tip for you ? Don't think twice. A coaching with Axel can literally change your life.
I don't really know where to start but I can tell you one thing: your shape is a huge motivation to me, and having just a small glimpse of your involvement at the gym can push me and others to work harder with the weights. When we see your training, your spunk, we immediately realize that you know what you are doing and therefore, that we can trust you. I still remember when I first asked you for advice: it was for leg training because I just couldn't get them to grow, and you simply suggested that I should train them twice per week: a heavy one with short sets on squats, and another one, lighter this time, but with more reps and sets.
In a single month, I saw them change under my very eyes and it also allowed me to connect more to my body and experiment with different training styles. Afterward, when I was weighing around 70kg, I purchased your bulk program to catch up with my chest and arm muscles. Not only did I explode, but I also gained a crazy amount of strength, and not only did I see it for myself, but a lot of friends noticed it too and started to ask me for tips and information! Your program was ultra thorough, with good information and a sound approach to training, diet and recovery but also sleeping and stretching-wise. I thank you for that man, you taught me so much!
At the beginning of my gym experience, I was essentially doing BBG programs (like Kayla Itsiness) to train. Even though it made me have some good primary results, I unfortunately stalled pretty quickly and hard. I was beginning to lose motivation and drive, thinking that I couldn't do better and much more. That is at that time that I met Hersovyac and took him as a coach. And boy that was the right choice! He made me realize that I still had a huge margin of progression and momentum. Each training with him was a new opportunity to evolve and push me (or to torture me). The workout was twice as hard as what I was used to, and my results soon were twice as fast too.
I was finally able to progress and comprehend more about it thanks to Hersovyac's explanations and lessons, to better understand how to train for what results. I was able to become more autonomous about programs and exercises, expanding my knowledge and gaining control of my evolution. Nowadays, I don't try to change much, I maintain what I already have based on all Hersovyac's teaching, years after his coaching. Although I know that if I ever want one day to evolve again, I will call him for sure! Hersovyac is (very) patient, cool and funny. But that doesn't stop him to take his personal trainer role (or executioner) very seriously when it's a necessity!
Hersovyac you are such a top training coach! When I called you, I had already been in weight training for 2 years, very consistent and serious about it, but I was having a hard time making any progress... I was getting bored with my workouts and I didn't see much change with my shape. Thanks to the training program you made for me, and your tips about nutrition and diet, I managed to gain a lot of volume pretty fast (in about one month) with only 3 workouts per week, leaving me enough quality time with my family. Thank you for everything spartan, stay strong.
Before your coaching, I had planned a simple split training program which was very restrictive: having to train at the gym every day, forced to be strict, and it was getting frustrating because of my job and everything else. Your training program is amazing! I can now schedule and be very flexible throughout the week. I can say I feel more at ease with my body (more mobile, stronger and energized) and by the end of each workout, my T-shirt is drenched with sweat, and filled everywhere!
As for the diet, you have been able to create something that complies with my habits and constraints, and even get them altogether more efficient (lighter breakfast, which means a shorter digestion time, an energy boost and less brain fog; the post-workout meal really helps me to get back into my daily tasks). My digestion is also better, I feel that my stomach is healthier and cramp-less, and I get to spend less time in the kitchen!
A skilled and reliable personal fitness trainer, who knows how to adapt to various body shapes. He will not let you down!
Great personal trainer, the hard work pays off
Axel is great coach and an even better man, it was important to me that I worked with someone who would not only be a good coach but someone who is invested in my success. He tailored my programme to my requirements and took my old routine and improved it dramatically. I made significant strength gains, and I was training in a way I had never done before. Axel was always available to talk and to give honest and relevant feedback to my form and progression. He encourages you to ask questions and learn whilst providing you with a really great base to build upon
After finding out about Hersovyac on YouTube like many of you I was amazed by his training style and the physique that it built. Wanting to know more I looked into coaching. Having never been with any sort of coach I wasn't sure what to expect but was instantly met with genuine warmth and a passion for bodybuilding that I could resonate with and begin building a dynamic together even when in entirely different countries. Regarding the coaching itself I can't speak highly enough of his programming abilities and vast knowledge of bodybuilding and nutrition that's nearly impossible to come by on the internet. Arguably as valuable as the service was his ability to help me develop not just physically but mentally, whether it be small problems or deeper life related issues he wasn't afraid to get into it when necessary and be more than just a bodybuilding coach. After 3 months of coaching I feel more confident than ever with my physique and the improvements made to it, but more importantly an improved approach to my bodybuilding journey and mindset.
Working with Coach Hersovyac was everything I hoped it would be. He not only gave me the direction and motivation I needed to reach my goals but he was always available and attentive. I definitely didn't make it easy for him - hah! Took an impromptu trip abroad and randomly decided to start combat sports in the middle of coaching. Even then, he worked with me, always willing to adapt our approach to help achieve my goals. In the end, I achieved the best body composition of my life yet. I am leaner, stronger and my cardio is on point. I also learned a ton from him. I'm looking forward to working with him again in the future.
J’ai été suivi par Axel pendant 11 mois sur le training, la diète et quelques sessions de posing. Je n’ai jamais autant progressé que depuis que l’on a travaillé ensemble ! Axel est très humble mais également très compétent et disponible. J’ai pu découvrir des séances au format originaux mais personnalisé à soi. Axel se débrouille même pour vous faire des séances selon le placement des machines / bancs / haltères.. à la salle pour optimiser au mieux vos séances. Axel sera également présent pour vous donner des conseils, vous suivre au mieux selon vos besoins et vos retours de bilan. Axel est un passionné dans de sport qui sera également vous le transmettre. C’est impossible de ne pas progresser avec Axel t’en sur le plan physique / mental et même posing si vous le souhaitez.
I needed some help regarding my bodybuilding journey, and it have been really helpful to have those online coaching sessions with Axel. I'm a huge bodybuilding fan, interrested in all domains which gravitates around this passion, and I have a serious scientific background. I can assure you that Axel is a true bodybuilding coach, who knows entirely what he's doing. Besides the valuable guidance, those sessions have been fun, Axel is a very nice person to talk with.
Very pedagogical and a keen ear to help, I recommend him !
I want to thank Hersovyac for the hard work and dedication he put into making this book. It was easy to see once I started reading it and couldn't put it down. I've read it 3 times and each time has been an enjoyment. The little things like different body structures influencing exercises are a blessing. The assortment of programs is amazing especially for someone like me who lifts at home. Best money I've ever spent.
After several months of following Herso's content on social media with great interest, I finally decided to purchase this ebook. I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality and depth of the technical information it provides. Each topic is presented clearly, and the approach to training and physical culture in general is well-thought-out and structured. For the price, I didn’t expect this much value. True to his 'no bullshit' style, Herso delivers an authentic work here, with no exaggerated promises or shortcuts. A highly recommended read for anyone seeking a serious and comprehensive guide. Thank you!
Extremely detailed and complete functional anatomy crash course ON TOP OF detailed training splits.
Considerations for individualization make this an awesome resource for any trainee looking to take their progress to the next level
Un recueil ultra complet de l'ensemble des paramètres influant le tour de taille.
Grâce à ce e-book j'ai moi même pu observer un affinement de ma taille en quelques jours seulement.
Une partie peut être un peu trop survolée concernant la nutrition empêche les 5 étoiles à mon goût, mais un livre d'une qualité indéniable !
I've trained Alex for one year and a half. This guy is barely 17, he has got tremendous potential and a great physique. He is actually even stronger and bigger than most guys in their twenties with years of training behind them. I am so proud to have helped him achieve this fantastic result as a natural athlete!
