Sports and training have been a part of my life since I was five years old. I started by exploring swimming and triathlon, but found my true passion competing in heptathlon, where I represented my region at national level competitions back home in Russia. My passion followed into my post-secondary education in Victoria, BC, Canada, where I received a degree in Sports Management and Sports Performance from Camosun College. I am a strong believer that fitness is for everyone, and I love working with clients of all experience levels and tailoring each session to meet their individual needs and goals.
My training philosophy is simple: there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. When training is personalized and fun, it becomes something you want to stick with. I’m a big believer in consistency and the power of small daily actions to create lasting results. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to take things to the next level, I’d love to help you reach your goals and be your biggest cheerleader along the way!
