About Arkadiy – Personal Trainer
From a childhood fascination with bodybuilding that led me to compete in Russia’s national championships to earning my BA in Sports Science, I’ve spent over 20 years as a personal trainer in DC guiding people to stronger, healthier versions of themselves. My passion is helping clients face real challenges—whether you’re recovering from injury, managing age- or weight-related issues, or simply wanting to feel powerful again. Best of all, it only takes about 2 hours per week to get into your best shape.

If you’re ready to improve your health and make meaningful, lasting changes, we can develop a personalized plan tailored to your goals.

I've known Archie for over 10 years and I can say that his skills and dedication to his work can change your life. His comprehensive fitness and diet program can transform your body beyond expectation and pushes the limits of the impossible and the before and after pictures can prove it. It happened with me and others time and time again.
Well done Archie and thank you so much for the impact you have on many lives.

Archi is so wonderful to train with. His knowledge about nutrition is what has helped me get into the best shape of my life at the age of 35. So many of my friends ask me how I did it. I owe this to Archi's expertise with recommending the right diet and exercise for me. All I had to do was follow his direction and I immediately saw results. I was an instant believer after just a few weeks of meeting him and dropping 10 lbs.
He is very easy to work out with and makes going to the gym fun. I am very small (95 lbs) and he doesn't try to overload me with weights, but keeps it at a difficult, yet workable pace. I appreciate his attention to my form and how he always corrects me if I am doing it incorrectly. Overall, Archi is the best trainer I've had over the past 20 years and I really owe my body development and happiness to him.

For over 15 years I've worked with male and female trainers to prepare for triathlons, half marathons, and overall fitness. However, I'm proud to say my greatest results came while training with Archie!!!
In all seriousness, working with Archie from Jan 2017- October 2017 I lost a total of 40 lbs, from 201 lbs to 161 lbs, and got down to 4.5% body fat. In that same span, I completed in my first physique bodybuilding competition and placed 2nd in over 40 and the novice categories.
If your goal is real results and real fitness, trust me, Archie will help you get there!!!
