Eastern Bloc Strength

I've had a great experience working with Marius as a trainer for several years. We've focused on building power through Olympic lifting and related mobility, strength, speed and muscle endurance exercises. Marius is no nonsense and has deep experience and knowledge of his field. It has been fun and helped me maintain and increase performance across other sports (e.g. golf) and helped me keep up with my kids!

It is with great pleasure I write this review! I trained w Marius for 5 years. He went out of his way to train me. He is a very respectful and professional person. He always was on time and well prepared. He is a very knowledgeable trainer. He challenged me and we saw results. I am confident he will have great success with this new gym and with his clients. All the best!

Marius has been nothing short of amazing. When I first
signed up with Marius I never thought I would be with him 9 years later, not because I could not function on my own, but knowing he is there to push me when needed and to modify my sessions to accommodate any injuries. Marius strikes a good balance between pushing me and making me feel I can always achieve more than I think, while listening and seeing what is not working for me.

Marius is very approachable, respectful, professional and attentive throughout each session. Marius is very knowledgeable about how the body, mind and nutrition work together. Over the years I have never felt more amazing, stronger of mind and body by working with him.

I would highly recommend Marius as a professional trainer, who gives a lot of thought to his clients and training requirements.

Amazing Gym! If serious strength training in a no nonsense environment is what you’re looking for, then EBS is perfect for you. The Head Coach, Marius Pop is knowledgeable, experienced and a highly trained coach. He’s Level 2 certified! But most importantly though, he’s a really caring coach. His positive and encouraging attitude is so motivating! Highly recommend.

Marius Pop is an awesome trainer. Taught me to deadlift, squat, and bench with no real previous experience on my part. Guided me to increase my flexibility, focus on good form, and lift better and stronger. All while I became stronger and fitter. I would not work with anyone else, his guidance and techniques are second to none.
