Focus: Maintain Health and Increase Mobility
“Working with Iryna for the past four years has been a life-changing experience for me. I have always maintained an active and healthy lifestyle, but had never incorporated strength training into my routine before. With Iryna’s coaching, knowledge, and dedication to helping me reach my goals, I transformed my body’s composition, losing fat and gaining lean muscle mass. In addition to building my strength and enhancing my overall fitness level, a main focus has been to increase mobility and work on alignment. I’ve noticed significant improvement with my posture and range of motion while performing everyday activities. Iryna is one of the most savvy, adaptable, and thoughtful fitness and health professionals I have ever worked with and I’m excited to continue learning from her and setting new goals.”

Focus: Build Strength and Increase Bone Density
“Iryna has been a godsend to me. I have been working with her for almost four years and can most heartily endorse Iryna as a personal trainer. Her knowledge of the body is complete and totally intrinsic, allowing her to explain cues in a variety of ways so that I really understand the objective. She adjusts exercises constantly to get the best outcome for me. In addition to this, she is a truly nice and kind person. Get ready to work, but be thankful for the opportunity you have to work with Iryna.”

Focus: Pre- and Post-Natal Fitness
“I started training with Iryna after taking a complete exercise hiatus for three years. I was pretty healthy despite not exercising for so long, but I wanted to be more fit and lose a few pounds. Iryna built a custom plan for me and my body type and got me into the best shape of my life. I’ve never been stronger. Iryna’s approach goes beyond our sessions in the gym. She coaches me on nutrition and activities outside of our workouts (texting me regularly to see what’s happening, how I’m feeling, and what I’m eating). When I got pregnant, she adjusted my workouts for a pre-natal plan and kept up to date on my doctors appointments/feedback. I can’t wait to get back to strength training post-natal.”

Focus: Build Functional Strength and Weight Loss
“I have had personal trainers in Manhattan since 1996. While they have all been very good, Iryna has been the best and the most effective. Because she understands skeletal-muscular functioning, Iryna is extremely precise. Her programs are well thought out and the observations and adjustments she makes during sessions are quite amazing. Iryna is great at building functional real-life muscle strength, while maintaining a constant focus on flexibility. She also keeps a meticulous record of one's status with any given exercise, thus ensuring progress and not over-extending the client. On top of all of this, Iryna is very intelligent, which makes for easy conversation. Iryna is a total professional and you won't find a better trainer anywhere else.”
