Hello, I’m Dagmar!
I was born and raised in Slovakia and moved to the U.S. at 19 to chase the American dream.
I've struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. I was the chubby kid in a culture where being thin wasn't just admired—it was expected. That pressure led me down a hard road: disordered eating, body image issues, and a lifelong battle with my body—mentally and physically.
After having my second son, I decided to become a personal trainer. I thought I’d finally learn the real secret to losing weight and getting healthy.
But it didn’t go as planned.
I ended up stuck in a cycle of overtraining and undereating, especially during a difficult divorce.
My body was completely out of balance—hormones, digestion, everything. I became weight-loss resistant. And there I was, a fitness pro who couldn’t fix her own health. That was my wake-up call.
I realized I needed support beyond just workouts and meal plans, so I found a functional health coach—and it changed everything. It opened my eyes to how much I didn’t know and how much I wanted to learn. That’s when I enrolled in Metabolic Mentor University and began my own journey into functional health. Which i am a certified functional health coach!
Since 2022, I’ve been coaching others the way I wish someone had coached me—through a lens of healing, not hustling. Alongside personal training and coaching at Orangetheory, I now help people who feel stuck, frustrated, and burned out by the same cycles I went through.
My passion is helping people slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and actually heal. I used to live by the motto, “Why walk if I can run and get there faster?” But that mindset burned me out. Eventually, my body made the decision for me: it forced me to slow down. And that’s where the real transformation started.
