Hi there! My name is Boris Manchev, and I’m originally from Strumica, Macedonia. My first love was basketball, and I spent countless hours training and dreaming of making it to the pro league someday. Unfortunately, a severe knee injury forced me to change direction. But, as they say, every cloud has a silver lining. While recovering from my injury, I discovered my love for health and fitness. I was fascinated by the changes I could achieve with my body, which ignited a desire to start learning more about how to help others achieve their fitness goals.

After obtaining my first personal training license from Belgrade, Serbia, I started working with various individuals and helping them accomplish a transformation. I began to build my brand, and three years later, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Sports and Medicine.

Moving to the USA, I continued to gain more experience and knowledge by working with the best coaches and mentors in the fitness industry. I even had the opportunity to compete on the men’s physique stage, winsome shows, and do many photo shoots. Through all this, I became obsessed with helping my clients achieve their goals and started developing a deep understanding of what it takes to transform successfully. 

As a founder of 1% Better LLC, my mission is to help tens of thousands of people to reach their full potential and learn to apply the 1% better everyday principle to achieve remarkable results they never thought possible.
