Discover the stories of those who've embraced the FitbyLara journey

I approached Lara approximately 2.5 years ago with the goal of increasing my muscle mass and reducing my body fat percentage. At that time, I had already been going to the gym for several years and knew the basics, but I struggled with my training program and had a very low appetite. I felt like I was spinning in circles, often over-training and not seeing the results I wanted. In addition, I was also afraid of gaining unnecessary body weight throughout the process. Starting coaching with Lara was one of the best investments I’ve ever made. She managed to incorporate the training into my daily routine, which includes a full-time job and frequent traveling. Beyond that, she was a great support throughout the journey. My appetite has returned to normal, and I no longer fear eating "too much." Despite many ups and downs, including stressful periods and a recent major injury, I trusted the process, stuck to the routine, and now the results speak for themselves. Beyond just physical appearance, I feel so much better in my own skin, and I have enough strength and energy to pursue many other sports in addition to the gym.
J. O.

The decision to start an online collaboration with Lara was definitely one of the best. Throughout the ongoing collaboration, I have constant support, receive all necessary information, an excellent plan, and moral encouragement during moments when I need it the most – especially in times of deficit. Lara is professional and knows what she's doing, which I really appreciate because she always has a solution and adjusts the plan to "ease" my journey. I have full trust in her, finally convinced that carbohydrates are not bad, and lost the fear of gaining weight immediately. Physically, I feel the best in my life, and mentally, it's not always easy with all the responsibilities, but when you know why you want it, there are no excuses; you find the time, and the feeling in the end is phenomenal.
Helena

After becoming a mother, I expressed the desire to get my body in shape. The decision to have Lara guide me through my fitness journey turned out to be an excellent choice. Regardless of the specificity of my goal, Lara always provided the right approach with a well-defined plan to achieve my objectives. She taught me the importance of exercise and was consistently supportive, encouraging, motivating, and reminding me of my achievements and progress. The results I achieved exceeded my expectations. In less than two months, I gained independence, now going to the gym on my own and performing effective workouts. Thank you, Lara, for everything! Continue to be as exceptional as you are, and good luck with future challenges.
Maja

A few months after my second childbirth, I decided to start exercising to feel better in my body. A friend recommended Lara, whom I contacted immediately. We quickly arranged the first training session, and I was thrilled from the moment we met. Lara is highly skilled, yet she radiates gentleness and warmth, making it much easier to attend workouts. I left each session happy because Lara encouraged me and pushed me beyond my limits, ultimately leading to results. I'm grateful to her because I've grown to love fitness and realized that I can achieve anything I set my mind to.

Lara shattered all my prejudices about working out in the gym and helped me look better than ever in my forties after two pregnancies. She has been a friend, therapist, and trainer, lifting me when I fell, cheering me on every step of the way, and pushing me to push my limits. She patiently and professionally answered all my questions and was always available. Collaborating with Lara is one of the best decisions I've made in my life, and if I had to choose a thousand times, she would always be my first choice.
I.O.

Lara was the light at the end of the tunnel for me in a period of my life when everything hurt. I didn't know what to do or how to help myself, what to exercise or how. With her, I managed to find time for myself, progress more than I ever thought possible, break through my limits, learned to feel comfortable in the gym, eliminate the pains that sent me to her, and the most important thing – love exercise. A very pleasant person, so accommodating, organized, motivating. And what I liked the most - she knows so much about the topic she talks about and has no intention of stopping at collecting it. Recommendations to everyone!
N.B.

While performing a large number of exercises, I felt pain in my knees, which is why I almost gave up training. On the recommendation of the physiotherapist, I contacted Lara. The focus was on strengthening muscles and performing exercises properly. After only 8 training sessions, the pain in my knees stopped. As a person who did not like the gym, I can tell you that you will be in safe and professional hands and that with the motivation of the trainer, you will become a fan of the gym. All recommendations!
M.P.

I've worked with Lara for 2 years, and I'll always claim it's been one of the best investments in my life. Something that started as a way to reach my desired physique ended up being so much more than that. The level of knowledge regarding nutrition and training I gained, along with the level of confidence, overall joy, and higher self-esteem is just a fraction of how she impacted my life. Having Lara in your corner means her pushing you to do your best and then continues to cheer you on once you realize you've had it in you from the start.
A.B.

Lara is the most professional person I have met and worked with. Regardless of the fact that we know each other privately, each of her training sessions was done as professionally as possible and without mercy. I hope we will have the opportunity to work together again because I can hardly imagine being guided by someone else.
I.T.

My collaboration with Lara has been going on for almost 2 years now. I've been following her for a long time on IG; she was very nice and muscular (everything looked beautiful but still feminine), and I wanted it, but I couldn't achieve it myself. When we started collaborating online, she made a training and diet plan, and we started. After the first three months, there was already progress, but after 6, not to mention, I was too satisfied. The main thing is that I didn't suffer at all. I eat good, healthy, and quality food all the time. This decision was one of the best in life to take Lara because she helps you, listens to you, and makes results with you. She gives you some new confidence that you carry every day. Thank you, Lara!
K.C.

From the first conversation to each of my subsequent questions and dilemmas, Lara's commitment to my progress was unquestionable. She has a comprehensive understanding of fitness, nutrition, and tailored workouts to meet my specific goals. Lara created a personalized training and nutrition plan that suited my level, preferences, and limitations. This individualized approach ensured that I achieved the best results. Her support and positive encouragement were always there, even on challenging days. She created workouts that could be adapted to different environments, ensuring I stayed on track whether I was in or out of the gym. Lara is always available to answer questions, provide clarification, and adjust my plan as needed. Her quick responses and clear explanations enhanced my entire experience. In the end, it's the results that matter, and I couldn't be happier with the progress I've made under Lara's guidance. I reached my goals with her strategic approach to training and nutrition. In short, my experience working with Lara was nothing short of extraordinary. Her professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support transformed my fitness journey into a truly successful and lifelong experience. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals. And now fast forward to new victories!
A.R.

I am very satisfied and delighted with the cooperation! Although I already knew a lot about nutrition and training, I needed someone to motivate and guide me. It's been almost a year since we've been together, and I've never felt better in my skin; the insecurities that I used to have are gone. I'm satisfied and confident with myself. Not to mention the comments from the people around me; everyone witnessed my progress, how much I got stronger and gained muscle, and for the first time in my life, everyone commented that I lost weight after the summer. So, my impressions are 10,000/10 for the whole cooperation and approach. At the beginning, I was a bit reserved and I needed to free myself (I send clips and write during the week), but now I am completely relaxed, and I think that this is one of the factors that certainly influenced the collaboration to be so brilliant.
A.D.

Lara is amazing! During a year of cooperation, I was cured of insulin resistance and significantly improved my quality of life. From the first day, I knew that I was in professional and safe hands because Lara's strategy was to develop and help me adopt a new lifestyle. Even after the formal end of the collaboration, Lara stayed by my side, providing invaluable support.
T.B.

I've been training with Lara for half a year, three times a week. The training sessions are excellent; Lara has designed them exactly to suit me - an hour of serious work, but that hour flies by in an instant. I started training with a great deal of caution due to back and shoulder problems, which previously prevented me from working with heavier weights. However, Lara corrected some mistakes I had made before in the first training, and those problems did not appear again. During training, Lara constantly monitors all elements of the exercise - form, speed, weight, duration of rest... - so there is no longer any fear of injury. We increased the initial weights with which I worked before on all exercises by at least 50%, and on most exercises by double, and we continue to progress. Progress is not only in numbers; subjectively, I feel better than ever, and I can't wait for every next training session. I definitely recommend training with Lara to anyone who wants to make a positive change in life and feel great at the same time.
M.B

In short, this whole fitness journey with Lara has changed my life for the better. In every sense of the word. We have been through a lot, there have been ups and downs, but I never thought of giving up. She pushed me even in those less beautiful periods of my life. Basically, I would do it all over again. I can't wait for every training session, to progress and be even better, and I wish the same to you who are in doubt about whether or not to start your fitness journey.
M.Š

Training heals the soul and body - total truth! At first, I didn't believe it. Impatient, distrustful, emotionally unstable, which led to overeating and so on indefinitely. A year and a half of learning, trying to believe in myself and the process, crying, ups, and downs. I used to think that only a fall was connected to me, while I would consider every training a failure when I didn't lift the working weight. Today? Patient and focused. Proteins at the level, daily activity at the level, training at the level. I consider every rise and fall a success. Every training session is a personal victory, no matter what it is. And it's really, really worth it - the more effort you put in, the more results you'll get. If it weren't for Lara and her encouragement, I wouldn't be a better version of myself today.
L. F.

Before we started working together, I thought that better results could only be achieved if you train 5-6 times a week. Considering the 12-hour work and night shifts, I wanted to have more time for rest and myself, so we reduced training to 3 times per week. I proved to myself that I can lift much heavier weights and that the brake was only in my head. I finally stopped dividing food into good and bad, and my relationship with food is much better. I saw that there is no more stress after birthdays, going out, or after the annual vacation, thinking that I have ruined everything I have done all year. I am more relaxed, more rested with fewer training sessions per week, and the results are never better.
D.S.

Lara is the first person who educated me about nutrition, calorie manipulation, and showed me how not to be hungry and feel my best. When you think of something, you go to Google and read "go on a diet." Over time, this unconsciously grows into a fear that leads to a bad relationship with food. Lara is someone who patiently and selflessly listened to complaints and fears, and as trust was built in our relationship, the fears disappeared. The best advice I can give to other girls is to let go and believe, do what you are recommended and told, and everything else comes with it :)
