“I had the incredible opportunity to do my work experience with my personal trainer and mentor Karlo. I cannot express how invaluable this experience has been. His wealth of experience in the fitness industry is truly remarkable. Throughout my time with Karlo, I gained extensive knowledge about muscle groups and exercises that I had never encountered before. One aspect that stood out to me was his expertise in working with clients who had injuries, particularly those with back and shoulder issues. His ability to tailor exercises to address specific needs was not only impressive but also eye-opening. I learned valuable techniques and strategies for helping individuals overcome physical limitations and enhance their overall well-being. What sets him apart is his exceptional communication skills. He has a remarkable talent for explaining the purpose behind each exercise and how it directly benefits the client. Whether engaging in casual conversations about daily life or delving into the intricacies of a training session, his communication is clear, concise, and incredibly effective. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a knowledgeable and communicative mentor. The experience that Karlo has, has not only broadened my understanding of fitness but has also inspired me to strive for excellence in my own future endeavors. I highly recommend him as a personal trainer and mentor to anyone seeking not only physical transformation but also a deeper understanding of the science and art behind effective training.”

“When I started my work experience with Karlo, he put me at ease right away with his happy welcoming charm. He ran through everything he was doing with each of his clients and would ensure it all made sense from a student's point of view. He would ask questions to make sure I understood what was going on and that we were on the same page before covering another topic. After my first day with Karlo things started to make sense as I felt there was a lot of information to retain from the course. Not only did he cover anatomy he went into depth about business, marketing, behaviours, and communication. With the amount I learned from Karlo, I thought education was part of his job already. This definitely helped me as an up and coming PT as I was taught things that weren’t covered in the course and got to see things from an experienced personal trainer's point of view while working with real clients. This gives you a great insight into what to expect when you start on your own rather than going straight into a job without the experience after the course. After the course was complete I continued to go to Karlo for my own training as well as additional education as I could see how much passion went into each and every client. Karlo's clients were also well educated in why they are doing each movement to align with their needs, which I thought was pretty amazing, I thought I needed to be trained by this guy! Karlo has influenced my business massively as he has filled me with confidence and the knowledge that I need to grow as a new trainer in the industry. I continuously go to Karlo if I need guidance with any part of my business. Karlo’s knowledge is unbelievable, if it wasn’t for this experience I’m unsure I would have pursued a career as a Personal Trainer.”

“Karlo was one of the reasons why I decided to pursue a career in personal training. He became my PT 8 years ago and over the past 8 years has taught me so much. Not only was he a great personal trainer - when the time came that I felt like I wanted a career change to this business he was nothing but supportive and motivating. Without Karlo’s support, guidance, and knowledge I would not be half the trainer I am today. I was lucky enough to shadow-train his clients for around 5 months. His hands-on approach when working with clients, detailed explanations of how the body functions, clear and priciest direction when it came to helping me learn different techniques, injury prevention, sport-specific clientele and general ability to make each session enjoyable was so motivating and made me feel confident to take on my clients. I’m lucky to work alongside Karlo now at Jetts St Luke’s, where he is always happy to lend me a supporting hand if I need it and to bounce feedback and ideas off. I couldn’t recommend a better trainer to learn from. Anyone who has the privilege of gaining knowledge from Karlo will make an excellent trainer.”

“I’m incredibly grateful for the guidance I’ve received from Karlo in building my personal training business. Karlo’s expertise, passion, and dedication have been instrumental in shaping my approach to entrepreneurship in the fitness industry. Under Karlo’s mentorship, I’ve learned invaluable strategies for attracting and retaining clients, as well as the importance of creating a solid business foundation. His encouragement to continually seek growth and embrace challenges has empowered me to navigate the dynamic landscape of personal training with confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend Karlo to anyone looking to excel in the personal training business. His mentorship has been an invaluable asset to my professional development, and I’m thankful for the impact they’ve had on my journey. Karlo has taught me a lot in regards to personal training and running my own business. I feel that Karlo’s passion for exercise and helping people come together to create the perfect mix. Karlo is always willing to help. I probably would not feel as confident and comfortable running my own PT business if Karlo hadn’t helped me as much as he has. He is an outstanding mentor and is dedicated to bettering himself, his clients, and his mentees. Karlo’s dedication to excellence is evident in every aspect of his work. His unwavering commitment to personal and professional growth sets him apart as a mentor. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve not only grown my business but also developed as a trainer and individual. I’m truly grateful for Karlo’s mentorship and can confidently say that he has had a profound impact on my journey in the personal training industry.”
