The first Titan fitness camp opens – Belgrade gets a new workout spot

(The cardio section of Titan fitness camp) Everyone who wishes to improve their looks, fitness, get rid of stress and do something useful for their health has a new place in which to achieve these goals – the first Titan fitness camp, recently opened in New Belgrade.

Nikola Stamenkovic, fitness instructor and owner of Titan fitness camp says for eKapija that he has decided, after working as a personal trainer in Belgrade and America, to open, together with his colleague Ivan Pesic, a fitness camp which will present a new concept of exercising to people living in Belgrade.

- Titan fitness camp, which opened in mid-May, is the first fitness camp in Belgrade. Our training concept is innovative, entirely client-oriented, adjusted to the client’s desires and needs, and, above all, in line with the client’s health and physical attributes.

Our interviewee says that this is a place where clients only need to come and change their clothes, whereas everything else is up to the trainer:

(Nikola Stamenkovic) - Titan fitness camp stands out by its individual approach to each client, by its new, clean training space and pleasant ambiance and its lack of crowdedness due to scheduled sessions. It is very important to our clients to have maximum flexibility regarding the schedule. We are aware that the times we’re living in impose lots of obligations on everyone, which is why we’re striving to enable our clients to exercise when their schedules allow them to – explains Stamenkovic.

Titan fitness camp stretches over 400 m2 in 69v Arsenija Carnojevica Blvd, across the street from Kombank Arena, in the Greek-Cypriot Center.

Personal training sessions

Titan fitness camp specializes in personal training sessions above all, while also offering small group sessions.

- The advantages of individual training sessions compared to training in groups consist of the personal trainer’s dedication to the client and their needs, desires, abilities and his ability to create a special training program for the client, whereas working with groups provides much less flexibility. The risk of injury is far smaller when training individually, and the most important advantage is that the speed of the progress is much bigger in this case – emphasizes Stamenkovic.

eKapija’s interviewee points out that one of the most interesting programs offered is Titan XXL, meant for overweight people and Titan baby weight training, meant for losing weight and bringing the body back into shape following childbirth.

We asked our interviewee to name the results he had achieved thus far that he was most proud of.

- Great reductions in body weight are certainly the biggest challenge, and most demanding too, since these are people who have neglected their bodies for years, have health problems, irregular eating habits and a lot of other accompanying problems. We can say with pride that we have aided weight losses of up to 50 kg.

People’s motives for exercising and seeking trainers’ professional help vary, but, as they say in Titan fitness camp, the most common reason is appearance.

- Everyone wants to look better, that is, to change something on their bodies, although there are people whose motive is health. Of course, we get clients who merely find exercising pleasant, stress-relieving and beneficial to their happiness and contentment. The target group of our camp, then, consists of anyone who wants to exercise, do something different, change their bad habits and feel better and healthier.

Titan fitness camp, says Stamenkovic, plans to, above all, change the people’s way of thinking in Serbia.

- We wish to influence the development of the culture of exercising and body culture which must be nourished if we wish to live longer and better. Our goal is to aid our clients in achieving their personal goals.

Initial results in two months

In average, how far into the personal training can a client expect to see the first results?

- If clients exercise continually and with proper form at least three times a week, while of course watching the food intake, the first visible results can be achieved after two months. Of course, each result is specific to each client and is dependent on age, physical condition and training intensity – says Stamenkovic.

Fitness programs for children

This fitness camp provides space for children of ages 7-15 to exercise, with both personal and group sessions being available.
