what my clients say

Real people with real results

Really great coaching. Daniel knows exactly what your weak points are and will work on them with you step by step. In that was its really motivating. He also knows when you should take the rest instead of pushing more, which i think is very important and makes it easier to be happy with your effort.

My experience with Daniel has truly been above my expectations. With His constructive criticism and his guidance I was able to progress so much faster in my Calisthenics journey.Having a person who believes and understands you is harder than the exercises itself. 5/5

In a little more than a month I recovered my personal best level and greatly surpassed it. Hristov coaching is simple yet very effective, he uses specific exercises for you according to your weaknesses and limiting factors allowing you to progress very fast. He puts a lot of attention to detail and will adapt accordingly to your needs, you can always be open with him about something in the training and he will adapt it or find a solution for it. He genuinely cares about your progress, is always positive and motivates you to be the best version of yourself. He reviews every workout and gives you advice for the next training so you can progress in every single training. In summary Hristov is everything you could ask for in a coach attention to detail, flexible, honest, positive and motivating

I had been working out by myself for almost an year and was stuck with no progress for about 2-3 months.

In just a bit over a month of training under Daniel's instructions I had already passed my PRs and had a clear way to continue progressing.

I've kept training under him for over 6 months now and have had a very positive experience. He pays attention to all the tiny details in every skill and explains them in a clear manner. This is very helpful especially for a beginner like me to avoid learning bad habits and/or developing injuries later down the line.

Additionally, even though the coaching is online, he still finds a way to hype you up and motivate you while giving tips on how to get better.

Overall I can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone that wishes to progress at any level.

Daniel is the best coach I have ever had! He does a great job at explaining what I'm doing right, and what I'm doing wrong. His immense experience with the sport allows him to point out progress that I am unable to notice. He knows his stuff and helps motivate me to improve! With Daniel's help, I have made great gains towards planche, handstand push-ups, the dragon flag, and front lever. I know that I will reach all of my goals with Daniel as my coach!

Why Beginners Struggle With the Front Lever

The front lever looks simple, but for beginners, it's one of the hardest skills to learn. Most people haven’t trained the kind of straight-arm strength and core control it needs. If you’re just starting, your body likely isn’t used to this type of tension yet. That’s why many beginners feel stuck or think it's impossible—but with step-by-step progressions, anyone can work toward it.

Best Starting Exercises for Front Lever

If you're new, start with tuck front levers, passive hangs, and scapula pulls. These exercises help wake up the right muscles like your lats, abs, and shoulders. You don’t need to go straight to the full move. These early steps build strength and control, making sure your body is ready when it’s time to level up.

How Long It Takes for Beginners

There’s no fixed timeline—it could take a few months or even over a year depending on how strong you are when you begin. Beginners with no pulling strength will need to build a foundation first. What matters most is staying consistent and trusting the process. Progress may feel slow, but each small step adds up.

Common Mistakes New People Make

Many beginners try to jump into advanced progressions too early, which can cause frustration or injury. Skipping basics like core and scapula strength leads to bad form and slower progress. Another mistake is training too little or not resting enough. A simple plan with 3–4 sessions a week, focused on the basics, works best when starting out.
