Hi, I am Nerijus, and I want to help you get strong, athletic, and resilient

I help people over 40 move with ease and feel alive in their bodies. I like to do it in a playful and sustainable way, focusing on awareness, longevity, and resilience.

I am inspired by movement and somatic practices like martial arts, dance, yoga, calisthenics, acrobatics, and various strength training and body work disciplines.

About me

Let’s move together

Private COACHING

Most personalized training I offer to meet you exactly where you are, to help you feel strong, athletic, adaptable, resilient, and move with ease in your body. We will build a consistent and sustainable practice by integrating strength, mobility, and movement training that helps you climb, jump, dance, play, fight, keep up with children, or simply feel vibrant and more alive.

Semi private

In my experience, this is one of the best ways to train. The group energy brings out the best in people! It’s fun, dynamic, and nourishes one of the key pillars of health — community! This training is ideal for someone with no major injuries or limitations. Bring your own partner(s) or join one of our small groups of two to four people.
Let’s get strong, nimble, and balanced while having outrageous amounts of fun!

Testimonials

  • I'm a physician who has taken exercise seriously for 15 years. I worked with several trainers previously, but while working with Nerijus, flashbulbs went off in my mind. He corrected my mistakes in form and quickly brought me to a new level of fitness. We worked on increasing the intensity of my strength training and improving my explosiveness and core strength. Nerijus revolutionized my workout structure to maximize results without plateauing. And he made my workouts FUN! Every movement is congruent with the preceding exercise.

    Jim Lebret - Physician

  • I was fortunate to take a weekend workshop Nerijus taught in NYC in 2018. I was blown away by the variety of strength, agility, flexibility, and skill training he incorporated into 2 short days! I was impressed with how challenging his classes were, while still totally inspiring and fun! Now, working with him multiple times a week virtually, I continue to be impressed with how he pushes us (his students) while being so encouraging and clear in his teaching. The community of the class is incredible and holds me accountable, even on days when I feel tempted to "sit out" because I'm tired. As a physical therapist, his training has been an invaluable tool in informing my own exercise prescription with my clients. Could not recommend him enough!

    Sport and fitness never came naturally to me. For many years, I ignored the signals of my body aching. I treated frequent lower back or neck pain as the inescapable destiny of those working behind a desk. I lost confidence about my ability to reprogram my body. I became afraid of anything that could potentially trigger my lower back pain. Then I met Nerijus! While other trainers in the past had infantilized my skepticism. He listened and guided me toward personalized routines that finally made a difference. Nerijus made me stronger by showing me how to listen to my body. He gracefully taught me a method to become stronger and more nimble and probably changed my life forever. I will always be grateful to Nerijus for this.

    Francesco Buscemi - Professor of History

  • Deeply rooted in decades of experience, Nerijus brings the full spectrum of holistic health coaching by combining physical strength and movement practice with an awareness of body intelligence and tools of inner mastery. Motivation and empowerment come along the way in the playful, creative setting Nerijus is offering. Nerijus is very inspiring to work with because he is walking his talk as a high professional, being the best example of the impact his work generates. Nerijus' virtual class was restorative beyond my expectations and brought my whole system back into strength and fluidity. That's why working with Nerijus is the best choice when searching for a holistic approach to health and physical resilience.

    Ute Schechtel - Executive Coach, Facilitator for Transformational Leadership

  • You will find few people in the field of fitness and movement coaching, with the combination of knowledge, patience, passion, and generosity! Nerijus' attention to detail and his ability to find what's appropriate for the client is a skill that can come only through years of experience and personal intuition. I have over 30 years of training as a bodybuilder and Muay Thai practitioner. Yet whenever I work with Nerijus, I always learn something new about training my body and take away insights that positively affect my performance.

    Gary Mahabir - Trainer, Muay Thai practitioner, athlete

  • For well over a decade now, Nerijus has been my number-one recommendation for a strength coach. He is an exemplary athlete with nearly a lifetime of experience who brings playfulness and creativity into his work. He has a real gift for bringing the best out in people of all levels.

    Marlo Fisken - Movement Educator

  • Nerijus' virtual classes really helped me get outside of my comfort zone, open up and get more flexible and strong. With novel exercises and drills, I never did before, which is saying a lot, given I've done so many fitness workshops, workouts, and coaching sessions over 10+ years. Some workouts really blew my mind as I haven't done anything quite like it before. Fantastic workouts with minimal equipment, that challenged me to the max.

    Marc Perry - Coach and CEO at Built Lean

  • Nerijus is an intelligent coach and mover who inspires, encourages, and teaches in a way that success and progress are achievable for everyone.

    Samantha Star - Pole, flexibility, handstand teacher & performer

  • Training with Nerijus is the best fitness investment I have ever made. As a boxing trainer, I would never trust another trainer as much as Nerijus. He is the epitome of a great coach: attentive, extremely knowledgeable, and creates amazing training programs. Nerijus has an incredible gift for modifying on the spot to fit any person and making sure you see results. I finish every class and session feeling accomplished. He pushes me to do my best, without ever making me feel bad about my progress.

    Brian Pedone - Boxing Trainer, CEO Quiet punch

  • I have worked with Nerijus in parks, in gyms, and online and he always teaches me something new and broadens my understanding of movement. Working with him is always a physical pleasure and challenge, but also a joy. And with him, you know you’re safe to move and explore because of his vast knowledge and experience and because he cares. He has been a huge inspiration to me throughout my Movement Journey and I’m grateful to have learned so much from him.

    Lisa Chaves - Natural Movement Teacher

  • Nerijus is the most talented coach I have ever worked with. As a former professional dancer in NYC, movement specialist, acroyoga teacher, and pilates instructor, I have worked with many coaches. Nerijus knew how to push me to the next level of fitness, as well as help rehab some acrobatic injuries. His knowledge of movement, mobility, and strength is impressive. Nerijus helps everyone achieve goals that at first seem impossible. His personality puts people at ease, and his training supports each client in being their best version. I am so grateful for everything Nerijus has taught me.

    Lesley Kennedy - Pilates & Acro Yoga Teacher, Massage Therapist

  • Nerijus is my reference for what a professional coach should be like. His understanding of human movement is exquisite. And he transmits his expertise in the most accessible way. He immediately picks up on the missing links and targets them from the root. He taught me how to continue moving throughout the day beyond our training sessions and how to have a more holistic approach to health. My body transformed, my mind grew stronger and I am forever thankful for all of his teachings!

    Andrea Plancarte - Physical Therapist, Pole Dance Coach @andreaplancartept

  • Nerijus is a true fitness expert, and there's always so much to gain from his level of expertise! I'm so grateful to be able to train with him again virtually even though he is located on the other side of the Atlantic. This is truly one of my favorite classes and is so challenging in a smart way.
