TRAIN WITH THE BEST

in Romania

Alex PirleciOwner/Head Coach
Originally from Romania, Alex has been a sports fanatic since he can remember, starting with boxing and kickboxing at a young age before discovering rugby when he was 12. His passion for the sport led Alex to play professional rugby in Romania with the Buzau Oaks for five years, ultimately winning the Senior’s National Division Championship.

Sports performance has always been important to Alex, who has worked as a personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, and sports nutritionist for both professional athletes and the everyday gym warrior. His commitment to his own health and fitness has led Alex to help others live healthier, leaner, and more energetic lives.

Daniel MoldoveanuPersonal Trainer
My name is Daniel Moldoveanu, I am a fighter and a coach. I started being involved in martial arts in 1999 and since 2002 it has been strictly Kickboxing. I have won the title of National Champion at every age bracket as I was growing up, in all Kickboxing styles and rulesets. I also won international medals under WAKO Federation.

In 2015, I started coaching so I could share the wonderful world of kickboxing with others. The athletes I have coached so far have won numerous national titles in multiple age groups and weight brackets.

Among my students you’ll find people from all walks of life, not just kids or athletes. I am an engineer myself and many of my peers have joined my training. Whether you’re a child, engineer, teacher, firefighter, nurse, or you just want to better yourself, I can help you do it!
