About Apex Coaching

A Personal Journey That Sparked a Mission

Apex Coaching was founded by Damiko, a Master Trainer with 28 years in the fitness industry and a passion shaped by his own personal journey. After achieving his own weight loss transformation, Damiko discovered how powerful training could be in changing not only the body, but also confidence, performance, and lifestyle. Over the years, he has also helped athletes train and prepare to make collegiate-level teams, further proving the impact of structured coaching and accountability.
