“I started with Pursuit a little over a year ago after trying CrossFit for a couple of months. After practicing gymnastics movements on my own for a while, I quickly realized the need for 1-on-1 coaching to learn the correct movements from the beginning. Initially, I approached Emil with the goal of “just” learning to do a bar muscle-up and handstand walk.

With Emil’s help, I made great progress and saw the value of having a coach I met with weekly to improve my gymnastics skills, along with a tailored program to support my development. I found that with a generic program, I didn’t progress the same way—the training was either not challenging enough or too advanced for my level.

That’s why I decided to become an on-site athlete, and my progress has only accelerated since. This growth is largely due to Emil’s approach—he’s the kind of coach who always looks for ways to optimize and is ambitious on behalf of his athletes. He sets high expectations and goals but also helps pave the way to achieve them.”
