Davor Sobin

Introduction: Howdy! My name is Davor, but you can call me David. I was born in Ashland, Wisconsin, and raised in Split, Croatia, a beautiful country in Europe near Italy. I moved to Austin during high school, where I developed a keen interest in personal training and body mechanics. Journey to Personal Training: Early Interest: My fascination with human physiology and anatomy grew during my high school years, leading me to pursue a Kinesiology degree at UT Austin. Throughout university, my curiosity about how the body works, moves, and reacts to exercise only intensified, steering me toward a career in personal training. University Experience: While at UT Austin, I volunteered at the Kinesiology department and completed an internship at a local gym. These experiences provided me with a solid foundation in client-centered coaching and fueled my passion for self-studying topics like increasing endurance and muscular strength. Personal Background: Childhood and Fitness: As a child, I never considered working out or exercising important. I was the only overweight boy in my class, which made me feel insecure. My perspective changed when I joined a soccer youth team at age 11. Though soccer wasn’t my favorite, it sparked my love for exercise and sports. At 14, I found true enjoyment in working out when I joined a boxing/kickboxing gym. This led me to explore various martial arts, with jiu jitsu becoming my favorite. Goals as a Personal Trainer: My goal as a personal trainer is to help you meet your unique fitness goals, whether it’s losing weight, gaining muscle size and strength, increasing endurance, or enhancing stamina. While I may not have all the answers, I am eager and determined to learn and collaborate with you to achieve your objectives. I am excited about the future and look forward to meeting and working with you all!
