Testimonials
“Training with Rajko (R-E-A-C-H) is an inspirational experience. It’s never just about turning up and going through the motions. You actually learn something about your health, It becomes a lifestyle and I would say it changes your life long term, as opposed to a short-term intervention.”Stephan PretoriousUK Group CEO & Global CTO | WUNDERMAN
“Rajko understands physiology, anatomy and more importantly, overall wellness, which makes a tremendous difference. His approach to coaching me was both physical and spiritual and I think this is a testament to the way he approaches life in general; he is not simply “a fitness trainer”. I have been amazed by the amount of physical work I could begin to do and have noticed a massive improvement in previous stress-related aches and pains. I recommend Rajko to many patients and can say that his energy and engaging manner is not just infectious, but highly effective.”
Dr Saul KaufmanMBChB MRCGP | NHS General Practitioner
“I trained with Rajko every week for approx. 2 years and I am delighted to be able to provide a testimonial to anyone considering training with R-E-A-C-H. After being out of fitness for a few years, gradually over time we not only improved my physical fitness, but I also felt the benefits in my frame of mind and overall feeling of wellbeing. Rajko is exceptionally knowledgeable, motivating and truly passionate about what he does and wants to make a difference to people’s health and lifestyle. He has my unconditional recommendation.”
Ari BoydFinance Director | ZENPROP
“Having previously trained at a high level in sport, studying and working in the field of Physiology at BSc & MSc level, I found that this form of training answered some of science’s unanswered questions. What Rajko does is explain these methods better than anyone. When leaving a normal workout I would feel tired. When leaving one of Rajko’s R-E-A-C-H (Fitness4x4) sessions I felt enlightened. His approach is not just physical exercise. It is a way of living and thinking that can be a cornerstone for modern working life.”
Matthew FlynnHealth Physiologist | NUFFIELD HEALTH
“Wow, wow, wow! A training approach like no other. Challenging and spiritual altogether. A chance to zone in to a high energy and mind-stimulating place, giving you a great workout at the same time. Rajko is a true master in what he does.”
Edward LazarusCompany Director | Property Sector Bus. Development
“I have had numerous sports coaches and trained with international instructors in my lifetime, but Rajko is certainly the best that I have encountered. His training is more than physical activity. Rajko comes with solutions and seems to be able to assist under any condition, and this has certainly helped me to reach levels I would not have expected possible.”
Hamed SadehAttorney at Law | MVCG
“Training with Rajko has been particularly helpful for me after quite a few years of not training effectively and feeling very limited by a serious knee injury. The combination of aerobic/upper body and Rajko’s teaching style helped me see make progress whilst also targeting my weaknesses -something I had never previously done. Initially, the goal was simply to get fit and lose weight, but have found that Rajko’s training approach led to much more than that.”
Robert ShawCommercial Director | ATOS Origin UK
“Rajko’s R-E-A-C-H presentations to our student body were a ‘tour de force’ and are still talked about now. Staff and students alike responded to his highly engaging and inclusive manner”
Sir Paul GrantHeadteacher | Robert Clack School
“Rajko Radovic is one of the UK’s most remarkable endurance athletes. His training approach may be unconventional…but it works”
Muscle & Fitness Magazine
