About MJ — The Coach Behind Innerlete

The idea behind Innerlete

Innerlete comes from “inner athlete” — the version of you that wants to be stronger, sharper and more in control of your life.
You don’t need a stage, medals or competitions to be an athlete. You only need the discipline to show up, the structure to stay consistent, and the clarity to follow a plan that actually works.

My coaching is built around one simple idea: when your systems improve, your identity follows.
Innerlete Coaching helps you build those systems — so the inner athlete can finally show up.

From Law Enforcement to coaching

I graduated from the Police Academy in Romania in 2012 and I work in law enforcement, an environment where structure, precision and responsibility are non-negotiable. Being responsible for people, procedures and high-pressure situations shaped the way I think and act. It taught me that:

  • discipline beats motivation every single time

  • structure is non-negotiable

  • systems always win over chaotic effort

  • standards matter

Everything I coach comes from that mindset. Clear standards. Honest feedback. No shortcuts. And plans that you can actually follow, even when life gets busy.

My coaching philosophy

DISCIPLINE OVER MOTIVATION - Motivation fluctuates. Structure keeps you consistent.

DATA OVER GUESSWORK - Progress is measured, tracked and adjusted — not estimated.

TECHNIQUE FIRST - Good form, clear cues and smart programming come before volume and ego.

SUSTAINABILITY OVER EXTREMES - No starvation diets, no 6-week miracle phases. Long-term identity change.

DIRECT COMMUNICATION - You get clear, honest feedback — not empty hype.

My qualifications

To keep my coaching structured and evidence-based, I completed the full ISSA certification track:

  • Certified Personal Trainer

  • Nutritionist

  • Strength & Conditioning

  • Corrective Exercise Specialist

  • Online Coach Certification

  • Transformation Specialist

This gives me a complete framework for designing programs that actually work — built on technique, nutrition, performance, injury-prevention and long-term consistency.

What you can expect when working with me

  • Weekly progress reviews with real metrics, not guesses

  • Concrete feedback, not generic “good job” messages

  • Real adjustments, not recycled templates

  • Clear explanations for every phase, exercise and target

  • Support that keeps you on track, not dependent on motivation

If you want structure, discipline and visible progress — this is the environment built for it.

I coach based on clarity, precision and accountability. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
