About Us
We started Apex Training because we got tired of watching people spin their wheels with bad information. You know the type — they follow some Instagram influencer's nonsense, waste months getting nowhere, then just give up. That's not what we're about. We teach actual fitness. The science-backed stuff. The movements that work. Been running courses here in Oradea and Brașov for 13 years now, and we've watched thousands of people finally crack the code on strength, conditioning, and body composition. Not because we're special. Because we don't overcomplicate things.
Over time, we’ve built a reputation for reliability, quality, and clear communication. We treat each project as a partnership and aim for outcomes that last.

Radu Popescu
Head Coach & Founder
Started in a basement with dumbbells and desperation. Now runs strength programming for 300+ clients annually. Obsessed with biomechanics. Can probably deadlift more than you.
Elena Ștefan
Conditioning Specialist
Former competitive rower turned fitness educator. Teaches metabolic conditioning and endurance protocols. Makes people breathe harder than they thought possible (in a good way).
Mihai Kovacs
Mobility & Movement Coach
Physical therapist background. Fixes movement patterns that other coaches miss. Genuinely excited about shoulder mechanics and why mobility matters for longevity.
Our Approach
Our approach combines proven methods with modern tools. We start with discovery, align on goals, plan clearly, and execute with quality checks at every step.
Our Mission
Teach people how their bodies actually work and give them the tools to transform it. We break down the confusing fitness industry and deliver straightforward, evidence-based instruction that sticks. No fluff. No gimmicks. Just real results from real coaching.
Our Vision
A fitness community where education replaces guesswork and sustainable progress beats quick fixes. We're building a world where people trust their training because they understand it — and we're making that possible one student at a time.
Our Core Values
The principles that guide everything we do
Brutal Honesty
We tell you what'll work and what won't. If you're expecting fairy tales about six-pack abs in 4 weeks, wrong place. We're straight about timelines, effort, and realistic expectations.
Science First
Trends come and go. Principles don't. We build everything on peer-reviewed research, biomechanics, and what's actually been proven to work in the real world.
Accessibility
Fitness education shouldn't be gatekept or expensive. We price our courses fairly and teach in ways that click for beginners and advanced athletes alike.
Progressive Mastery
Small improvements compound. We obsess over progression — whether that's adding weight, fixing form, or hitting new rep ranges. That's where real transformation happens.
Our Story
Started in a small gym in Oradea back in 2011. One instructor. One obsession with doing things right. Within 3 years, demand grew enough that we opened a second location in Brașov. The growth wasn't about marketing — it was word of mouth from people who actually saw changes in their strength and physique. We've refined our curriculum constantly. Ditched what didn't work. Doubled down on what did. Today, we run 47 different courses annually and train people across multiple fitness disciplines.
