Sarah Kat @Kat_skii
Figure Pro, 2x Overall Winner
Prior to meeting Ivan I had less than desirable coaching experiences in bodybuilding.
I honestly thought I knew a lot about bodybuilding, considering I did a single show during the peak of Covid in 2020.
I remember when I first considered reaching out to him, I was nervous thinking he would judge me for how I looked postpartum, so I just commented on one of his clients pictures vaguely and waited for him to (hopefully) send me a message. And he did..
Incredibly fast.. But I still didn’t feel I was ready to commit, so I gave him a time frame and when June 1st 2023 came around, we went to work.
Week after week, check in after check in, he showed nothing but support. I was constantly concerned about my weight because pregnancy and early postpartum really kicked my ass, but he never made me feel about how I look, just kept telling me to trust the process because I had ‘size’. So I took it as a good sign and kept
working.
From starting with Ivan in June at 190lbs to stepping on stage in November, I couldn’t believe I that made it all the way down to 143lbs stage weight. Not only did my body transform, I actually felt like an athlete for the first time since giving birth and Ivan is the reason I can say that!
I second guessed myself literally the entire time, and doubted myself constantly, but he never missed a step communicating with me. In the days leading up to my show he kept saying ‘you’re gonna win, I already know’. Under his guidance, I won my first Overall title November 11th 2023 at the OCB Tampa Natural. He was right, I shouldn’t have questioned it. Sunday morning, while I was enjoying my post show chicken and waffles, and I was convinced to jump back into prep just to see how I could compare to athletes on the NPC stage. I hesitated for about 10 minutes because I was ready to end my season on my last win. Anyway, obviously I gave in. After 5 more weeks of blood, sweat and tears, (even more self doubt) I won my second Overall title December 16th at the Mel Chancey Holiday Classic. I had zero expectation of even placing, let alone winning, but he had confidence in me and somehow knew I was going to win.
Absolutely blown away, 2 Overall titles in 6 weeks, I still can’t believe it. Signing with Ivan was the best decision I could have made, I don’t know where I’d be without him.

Masters Bikini Pro
Ivan played an integral role in my journey to success in my recent bikini competition. His unwavering support and exceptional coaching skills truly set him apart, making my experience not only successful but also enjoyable.
From the very beginning, Ivan exhibited a level of responsiveness that exceeded my expectations. His prompt and thoughtful communication created a foundation of trust, ensuring that we were always on the same page throughout the entire preparation process.
One aspect that particularly stood out was Ivan's dedication to my well-being, especially considering my thyroid condition. His diligence in requesting and reviewing my lab results during the prep demonstrated a level of care that went above and beyond. This personalized approach assured me that my health was a top priority, and he was committed to optimizing my training and nutrition plan without compromising my overall well-being.
Ivan's background in nursing brought an extra layer of reassurance to the coaching relationship. His medical expertise instilled confidence in me, knowing that I was in the hands of someone who not only understood the demands of competition but also prioritized my health and safety.
Weekly check-ins with photo submissions and Ivan's honest feedback were instrumental in my progress. His constructive critiques and tailored adjustments ensured that I stayed on track, allowing me to make continuous improvements. This consistent and transparent communication was a cornerstone of our collaboration, fostering a supportive environment for my growth.
I never felt deprived or hungry during the entire process, thanks to Ivan's flexible approach. He allowed weekly cheat meals, and I even enjoyed sushi during peak week! This balance made the journey not just successful but genuinely enjoyable.
One standout moment that truly touched me was Ivan's attendance at my competition. He sat in the front row, offered real-time support, reminding me to breathe, relax, and make subtle adjustments to my posing. This level of dedication and personal investment in my success went above and beyond any previous coaching experiences I've had.
Ivan is more than a coach; he is a mentor, guide, and a true partner in the pursuit of success. I am immensely grateful for his commitment, expertise, and genuine care throughout my bikini competition journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Ivan to anyone seeking not just a coach, but a supportive ally in achieving their fitness goals.

Classic Physique Pro
I started working with Ivan almost two years ago and it’s been the best decision I’ve made for my bodybuilding career. I thought could handle everything myself, but as I approached increasingly difficult levels of the sport I realized I needed a professional.
That’s where Ivan stepped in.
After only working together for a few months, he helped me bring my all-time best physique to the stage. It was a night and day difference from my previous prep. Since then, he’s guided me through my most productive off-season to date. To say I’m excited to see where he’ll take me next is an understatement.
Whether you’re a competitive athlete or just looking to lose a few pounds, Ivan is the best coach, mentor and friend a client could ask for.

3x Bikini Overall Winner
In 2022, being a novice bikini bodybuilder, I truly was intimidated by the sport. Ivan was beyond accommodating and understanding of my experience level. He encouraged me, coached me, and provided step by step instruction leading up to show day. Beyond his wide range of expertise in bodybuilding, what stood out to me most, was his availability and prompt response time. I’ve watched Ivan take on more clients as time has past and I’ve admired how He treats every one of his clients as a priority - from true novice competitors to experienced top 5 placing competitors. We all stand together as a team. I cannot thank him enough for helping me achieve greatness and love for competitive body building!
Karissa @loveliftmk
Bikini
I reached out to Ivan back in June of 2023, I was with another coach at the time and wasn’t happy with my plan as it was “cookie cutter” and not tailored to my goals. So I decided to reach out to him to see if he could take me on as a client. He showed genuine concern and interest for my desire to compete and we took the plunge to prep for October 2023 (NPC Bikini). Immediately my new plan was drastically different and I could tell the workouts and protocol for cardio was on par to prepare me for stage. I was challenged but focused.
This was my first time ever competing and I was doing it exactly 1 year PP (third child) and just finished BF. Ivan was there every step of the way. If I had a question he replied within minutes. If I had a concern about protocol/Marcos we adjusted and moved on.
Fast forward 8 weeks later and we decided to jump on a local show 3 weeks out! I had local friends/teammates competing and it was a PRO&AM show, HUGE! I committed to the plan even harder and we won my class and placed third overall! Qualified me for Nationals my first go around and I immediately fell in love with this new found passion/team/family.
We went on to compete at two more local shows placing great again in multiple categories.
2024 we are preparing for a regional show then Nationals. So excited to continue with my team and incredibly proud to call Ivan my coach. The results speak for themselves. Do the work, stick to the plan. We will come out on top!

4x Men's Overall Winner
I met Ivan in 2018 about 2 years after I started working out consistently I knew I wanted to have more purpose behind just the gym and he introduced me to bodybuilding and ultimately helped me find something I’m truly passionate about. Ivan has been there for me every day since we started prep for my first show in 2019! He is the kind of coach that he gives you what you give him and if you’re all in so is he!
Ariana @npc.ariana
3x Wellness Overall Winner
Ivan prepped me through four shows in two years. Within those two years I needed to grow, to lean out, to pose to hide flaws and present my strengths. Through all of this, Ivan was more than a coach, he took the role of guide, emotional support, and motivator. His research and expertise allowed me to win Overall twice and place fourth at the largest amateur NPC show in the USA. Ivan's knowledge has been invaluable to me as a competitor, and I hope will take me to nationals and- eventually- my pro card.
Halle Sullivan @halle_sullivan18
Top 5 Ms. Teen Alabama USA
Embarking on a journey of working out has been nothing short of transformative for me. Initially, it was just about getting prepped for my upcoming pageant and getting in shape, but what I discovered along the way was so much more. Working out with Ivan became my daily dose of self-care, and my ultimate stress-reliever.
As I prepared for Miss Camellia State Teen Volunteer, my mental and physical health were not where I needed it to be. When I started training with Ivan I could feel myself changing in both aspects, mentally and physically. It was just a month later that I was becoming my healthiest self and even walked away from my pageant as the first ever Miss Camellia State Teen Volunteer. While I was still in college I found time to do the workouts Ivan taught me and went to see him when I could. Later that year I went on to compete in Miss Alabama Teen USA where there was a fitness portion of the competition. I was able to walk away placing 4th runner up and photogenic winner. Ivan helped me build the confidence I needed to be able to walk across a stage in front of thousands of people and feel like my best self.
With consistency and dedication, I witnessed not only physical changes but also remarkable improvements in my mental clarity and emotional well-being. In essence, working out isn't just about building muscle or burning calories—it's about building confidence, resilience, and a deep-rooted sense of well-being. It's about investing in yourself, believing in your potential, and embracing the journey, one rep at a time. So, if you're considering using Ivan, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take that first step. Your body, mind, and spirit will thank you for it."

Figure Pro
I’ve been working with Coach Ivan for over a year. I saw how he was there for one of his clients at a competition I was participating in. Over time, I watched his clients compete and receive their Pro Cards. As I was beginning a new year in my competition journey, I reached out to him. We had a phone conversation, and I shared my past history and photos with him. There was confidence in his voice that made me believe he could help me win my Pro Card. With weekly checkins, he helped me put the pieces together and answered the questions I had throughout my build and prep phases. As I started my competitions, we struggled with getting me leaner, but with advice from judges, he helped me switch from Bikini to Figure, and I was able to win my Pro Card that year. Ivan’s nursing/medical background and knowledge was very helpful as I feel he has a full picture of the ins and outs of the body. I can’t wait for my upcoming Pro year.
