“I can’t say enough good stuff about Alina! During pregnancy, it was so tough finding a trainer who could help me continue to exercise. The routines weren’t motivating and actually made me feel worst. When two different people recommended Alina to me, I knew I had to at least try her. Boy am I glad I did. She knew exactly which exercises I could do and adjusted my routine as my pregnancy progressed. She kept me motivated and also made sure I listened to my own body. Even when I couldn’t notice my feet anymore, she was giving me new stretches to help me stay in shape. I can’t thank you enough, you diamond in the rough! ”

“Having worked with several other trainers in the past, I can say unequivocally that Alina is an excellent personal trainer. She is very professional, has a great theoretical and practical understanding of human physiology and training, and is very willing to go above-and-beyond for her clients. I look forward to working with Alina again in the future. ”

“Alina is wonderful. She’s very punctual, understands fitness and working of the mind and body, she can make the hardest of workouts fun! She helped me train for strength and weight loss, and it worked very well. The workouts were tough at times, but she made me believe I can do it!
Loved her motivating, yet easy attitude. I was on a deadline for some public speaking engagements, she made the best of the available time and focus, to mentor me, coach me, and get to my fittest self.
She coached me for nutrition and diet plan and helped develop a discipline for it. I couldn’t have asked for more, a very inspiring experience working with her. Thanks Alina, see you soon!”

“Alina and I have worked together on and off in the past, bouncing ideas off of each other on how to best serve clients. As a physiotherapist, I incorporate much of Alina’s movement techniques and training methods into my own rehabilitation of clients. Her approach can be applied into a plethora of injuries and I’ve found great success in treating clients incorporating some of her exercises into their rehab. As someone recovering from her own injury, Alina exemplifies the ups and downs of rehab and training, the key point being that progress is never linear and that trusting the process is essential for constant growth and improvement. In that sense, Alina is one of the realest individuals I’ve come across in this profession - she’s not selling you fluff, but demanding a commitment to hard work, resiliency and commitment. Alina is wonderful to communicate with and the consummate professional! I consider her a most valuable colleague and a trusted friend. This will undoubtedly be one of the best investments you make for yourself! ”

“Alina is amazing. She provides the perfect amount of push and understanding - helping you to be your best without giving up. Her workouts are always varied; it’s never the same ol’ same ol’ which gets boring so quickly! She creates a workout especially for you and your needs and desires. She is a great coach that keeps you motivated and is genuinely interested in helping you improve. I highly recommend Alina if you’re looking for a trainer! ”

“Alina is extremely knowledgeable and she really listens to her clients. She makes workouts challenging yet fun. They are never boring. She’s also very punctual and professional. I thoroughly enjoy working with her and I have been pleasantly surprised at how strong I am becoming. ”

“Alina is a thorough professional, very knowledgeable about fitness, and lots of fun to train with. My wife and I trained with her together, and not only did her regime work very well for us, we really enjoyed it! She makes the conversation easy, but workouts hard :) and knows what works for different body types. ”

“Alina is a very special person who truly cares about the well being of her clients. She works with you to customize a program that meets your specific needs. Her compassion for your success is unparalleled!”

“Alina has had an amazing impact to our lifestyle since we have taken her guidance. Though it’s only once a week, our body already feels lighter and better. The exercise routine, though tougher at first focuses on the core which we always seem to ignore. Thanks Alina for the lifestyle changes and we look forward to the next sessions to work with you and become fitter and healthier :) ”

“I really enjoyed training with Alina because she coached me through an effective work out and also rehabilitation exercises, fully understanding my past chronic pain issues and helping me prevent further injuries. I feel not only stronger, but more confident in my ability to progress to heavier weights and higher intensity workouts. Alina also motivated me to adopt intermittent fasting (IF) which had a significant impact on my weight management and energy levels. Alina gave me helpful tips on how to start and sustain IF, which I’ve been doing now for almost 8 months. Overall, Alina has a very strong grasp of mobility, strength, endurance, nutrition and other foundational pieces that trainers need to provide a comprehensive service. ”

“We are writing a testimonial a week after we had the first training sessions with Alina. We are two adults ages 62 and 56, who except for extended regular walks do not exercise. We felt lately that it is time we start exercising it is not to late to start at any age. Alina started our first session by explaining what she plans for us to do and what we going to achieve by doing the exercises. After a set of stretching exercises, Alina showed us a routine of progressively challenging exercises, where she tracked how difficult or easy it was to do for us. We worked on balance and coordination, resistance training and core strengthening. And all of this in our first sessions. Alina carefully checked that she challenged us the right amount and made all exercises fun and engaging. She also selected the exercises we can do together using readily available tools. At the end of this first session we felt great, even though we realized that we have some muscles we have never used before. Alina also discussed with us the benefits of fasting and the elements of nutrition and obvious benefits of both. We are very thankful to Alina for her patience and encouragement. From now on we will be working out regularly to achieve the level of fitness we need for a healthy and enjoyable life.
We would gladly recommend Alina to anyone looking to become fit and agile, flexible and balanced. ”

“Alina was fantastic! She was so encouraging and patient. She kept me motivated and focused. I felt more in control of my health with her pointers and guidance. I’ve been working more diligently and enthusiastically since my session with Alina. She is a true treat and delightful, motivating, knowledgeable person. Thank you Alina!”

“Alina is an absolute GEM! Working out with her was definitely one of my favourite experiences at the gym. She doesn’t only motivate you but she inspires you to be better. She really helped me realize that there are so many other ways to workout and get strong besides just your everyday lifts. The variation of bodyweight exercises and kettlebell workouts she introduced me to were so awesome that I still use them! On top of working up a great sweat, connecting and getting to know Alina more made the day that much better! If you ever get a chance to work with her I promise you won’t regret it! Thanks again for everything, Alina!”

“Alina is such a badass…seriously. It’s so inspiring and refreshing to be trained by someone who is so passionate and excited about their craft. She is super knowledgeable and fun, and could probably snap you in half with a flick of her wrist. Highly recommend :) ”

“I really liked training with Alina. Going to the gym is boring but she makes it fun and interesting with her unconventional approach. It’s also a great workout! ”

“Alina is amazing! Such a positive person, always smiling and super professional! ”

“I first met Alina back in late 2015 when she flew in from Canada to San Jose CA where they taught a seminar on Non-classical Gung Fu and Silat. I was thoroughly impressed not only at her strength and competence but also at her ability to articulate and teach her chosen arts well. At the end of the weekend seminar I was so bummed that she wasn’t living locally because she had so much potential. About a year later, I was ecstatic to learn she was moving to the South Bay! I immediately became a student and was hooked! She not only is an amazing athlete and a dedicated martial artist, but also a kind-hearted, thoughtful, and loving human being. She is a rare gem. I see her almost on a weekly basis to train martial arts, fitness, or both. I cherish this time of the week. If you live in the Bay Area, you’re in luck. Don’t miss this opportunity to train with this wonderful and talented human being. You won’t be disappointed. Much love, Alina. So fortunate to have you as a coach and a friend. ”
