D.F. Exercise Science

Darko has provided me with quality rehabilitation to allow me to be pain free and more functional again. I couldn't recommended him enough to anyone looking for a professional health and fitness practitioner.

I have been working with Darko for nearly 5 years. He is extremely knowledgeable and creates training plans that are specific to my body and my goals. Darko aims to collaborate with each of his clients individually, rather than give a prewritten program that may not work for you like other PTs do. He works to improve both your mindset and your physical health. I have a lot of respect for Darko and the way he trains. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a trainer to improve their strength and flexibility.

I have been working with Darko for 3 years now. He is an excellent trainer who has done wonderful things to help me recover from various back, knee and shoulder problems. He knows the value of patience, rest and developing flexibility with good stretching routines but also pushes you hard to achieve new PBs and set strong goals. He's an honest and straightforward guy who will bend over backwards to help you if you are honest and straightforward with him too.

Just over five years ago I signed up for a trial pilates session, and I've been training with Darko since! I've been through strength and conditioning, rehabilitation and maintenance programs and have progressed with each and every one, be it learning new exercises (which I'm a huge fan of), PBs, fine-tuning technique or just staying active during extremely busy and stressful times. Darko uses his extensive experience and qualifications to provide a holistic, common-sense approach to exercise and overall health. Rather than being prescriptive, he works with clients to achieve positive outcomes. Highly recommend this professional.

I am very happy training with Darko. He has a great level of knowledge(especially compared to a lot of trainers out there). He has helped fixed my lower back pain and has improved my flexibility. Darko will guide you in the right direction and look after your body. If you follow the individual program that he will give you, you will get results. I highly recommend Darko - I have moved overseas and still do PT sessions online with him!

Best in the business. I have been dealing with chronic back pain, and I worked with Darko for a year to learn how to manage the pain and overcome my problem holistically. You MUST talk to Darko if you are struggling and want a solution. Couldn’t recommend more - thanks so much!!!

Darko’s anatomy is next level. The service he provides is some of the best I have come across in this space. Highly recommend.

Darko has been my trainer for four years now. Not only does Darko provide degree qualified expertise, but he also provides excellent banter and a fun, supportive manner.With a focus on conditioning to compliment the strength work, I have been able to push myself to achieve the results I previously aspired to, in my sport of competitive dragon boat racing - most recently as a member of the QLD State Squad competing at Australian Champs.Darko provides targeted warm-ups/conditioning exercises to reduce the risk of injury, demonstration of exercises, technique corrections and encouragement when needed. I appreciate the focus on quality of movement rather than hitting targets for the sake of it with a personalised program to compliment my sport and goals.With the periodised program, I’m able to work independently by recording specific exercises for feedback, which compliments the regular one-on-one personal training sessions. The in-person training includes Pilates (which I’ve been a fan of for many years) and soft-tissue work if necessary.

Got recommended to see Darko after having pain and issues with my knees for a couple of years. He developed an individual stretching and exercise/strengthening program for me that has all but eliminated the problems after only a few visits. I can't speak highly enough his work and the fact he can work with you remotely if need be is excellent!

Came to Darko with a shoulder injury. His expertise in his field is second to none. After 6 weeks I was feeling better than ever before. He also addressed many of my weaknesses and have been working with him for months now. Also had chronic back pain for many years which has now finally gone. Very knowledgeable and professional, couldn't recommend his services enough.
