Building stronger bodies and minds

I work with Yana on a remote basis, and I'm absolutely happy with it! Yana's approach to building workout plans is very flexible, so I always have an option to ask for change in intensity or adapt to different gym equipment if I'm travelling. Also it's a great way for me to often bring something new to my training routine, so that it's not just weightlifting only, but with addition of gymnastics, running and much more.

Yana and i worked our regularly for 18 months, a mixture of flexibility and strength training. I enjoyed working with Yana and I was really happy with my progress. My wife joined too and had great progress in tackling long standing neck pains and posture issues. Always a pleasure to work out with Yana!

I have been practicing with Yana for almost a year now and I am very happy with my progress. We met at a time when I realised that I was not physically fit enough to keep progressing at all my hobbies: golf, skiing, kitesurfing, hiking. First and foremost I liked the fact that Yana approached training process in a very systematic way: she creates a training plan, considering my limitations and strengths, and sees what we are striving for together. Seriousness, thoroughness, great attention to technique are the things that were the basis of my trust in Yana.
It's worth noting that since we started training regularly, I've noticed progress in my other sports activities as well, which makes me very happy. Frankly, like many others I was afraid of CrossFit, as I heard a lot of stories about injuries. Today it seems to me that with the athlete's conscious attitude to training and with such a careful coach as Yana, the chance of injury is reduced to zero.
I also see that Yana finds an approach to people of all ages and genders, so you can trust her with your mom or even granny. I also like the fact that Jana is a versatile person, reads a lot and can easily carry on any conversation, but at the same time she can be comfortably quiet if I am not in the mood to talk.

I have known Yana for a long time and have been training with her both in a group and personally. When I decided to improve my squat, I immediately contacted Yana since I know that she approaches the training process very seriously, writes excellent programs and, maybe most importantly, does not give indulgences when she sees that I can do more/better/faster. This is a great trait in a trainer should you need results. The workout program was ready in a week, unlike anything else, written exactly according to my request. It was hard, but the results were worth it.
At the beginning of 2022 year I injured my forearm and could not perform about 70% of classical exercises. I asked Yana to create me a program in the light of my injury, which I could use on my own. Such a request was also no problem – Yana explained every training day in great detail, included video with examples, showed me technique of each exercise and was always available for advice and corrections. I exercised on my own, then sent her videos and always got helpful feedback.
Yana is a wonderful person and trainer with great experience and specialized education. My highest recommendations.

I came to train with Yana in March 2021. I am an amateur football player, but my fitness did not allow me to run as fast and as long as I wanted to.
Yana never promised the impossible. She didn't say that with her I would lose 10 pounds in two months or that I would get six pack from working out once or twice a week. If I had any expectations regarding my body, Yana would honestly tell me what I needed to do for it, and I decided for myself whether I was ready to put that much effort into it or not.
After a few months since we started, everyone on my team noticed changes in my speed and endurance. Playing football has become much more enjoyable.
In general, I've become more active than I used to be, and I feel healthier.
The non-obvious benefits are that my headaches have stopped! It seems that the right muscles in my back have pumped up and I have forgotten about the spasms in the collar zone.
Training with Yana is always interesting and varied. Yana is a moderately strict trainer, she can clearly see whether I really can't push any harder or I am just being lazy.
In conclusion, I see no point in stopping our trainings.

Training with Yana is a real proof of how professional approach actually differs from what most of global gyms trainers are offering. With Yana as a coach you will concentrate more on free weights while strictly adhering to technique. No more pointless ego lifting! We have been training together for more than six months and my training routine has completely changed for the better. I have never even heard before of some exercises that she taught me, and I like that my program now is more diverse. Building an ideal body is a life long journey, but with Yana you will progress along this path much faster and more confidently.

I've been training with Yana for 2.5 years now (except for a break during the first lockdown), and I'm very grateful for that time!
Yana have become my personal guide to the gym from the very beginning – before that I had only chaotic attempts to train at home following YouTube videos. Even though I only get to work out once a week due to my work schedule, I love this day and always look forward to it! My body has really changed because of my regular workouts, it's toned up and I feel so much stronger, more resilient and more beautiful. The people around me have also noticed the external changes.
Thanks to Yana for the fact that in spite of all the rigidity and sometimes brutality of CrossFit, she provides comfort in accordance with my abilities and strengths, adapting exercises and weights of equipment during the workout. Yana is always comfortable not only as a coach, but also as a live person! It always helps to hear "there's still a bit left, you can do it, come on, these are the last reps!" when it seems that I have no strength at all! Yet she always motivates and stimulates me to do more, to test my abilities, and does not let me fall apart.
A very cool bonus to training is talking to Jana in the process, because she is an interesting person with a good sense of humor.

Initially I came to Yana to correct my technique in basic strength and functional exercises, which I wanted to include in my training program. For example, after an injury I was struggling with restoring the correct squatting pattern, and thanks to Yana I managed to do it and consolidate the result in just a few sessions.
Subsequently, we switched to regular micro cycles of several weeks, during which I'm discovering different training protocols and new ways to achieve sports results, although before I was more accustomed to just typical lifters workouts.
Before starting the cycles, we always discuss the goals, progressions, and structure of the classes. Then Yana guides, coordinates, keeps me focused and always leads me to the desired results. After each such cycle I come out with a new baggage of skills, which I can use further in my independent training, and this is especially valuable to me. I will continue our cooperation with confidence!

The hallmarks of Yana's training are sensitivity and professionalism. I didn't like either sports or fitness before I met her, however I decided to give it a chance. I can say that Yana's approach made me fall in love with this activity. A high level of intelligence and a healthy balanced perspective is exactly what I was looking for and what helps me stay in shape and have a beautiful figure. I am very thankful for that.

I do triathlons. Strength training is the fourth discipline in this sport. There is a specificity of preparation for long cyclic loads. It is important for me that coach has an individual approach and understanding of physiology in order to achieve the best results. And it is also important for me to communicate with an interesting interlocutor who has impressive experience in various professional fields and non-trivial views on many issues of life. Yana combines all these qualities along with a deep immersion in the theory of sports work and at the same time she is a strong enthusiastic athlete herself.

Yana is not just a great CrossFit trainer, but a coach with deep knowledges of nutrition, psychology and sociology. I feel very comfortable working out with her. Moreover, thanks to her program, I achieved what I've always expected from the workouts, but could not reach before – I developed strong, toned gluteal muscles and a real Brazilian butt!

I came to Yana thinking that I was already working out, but in fact I was just going to the gym and exercising chaotically. Only after we started training did I learn what it means to pursue a certain goal, I felt how to train my muscles properly and discovered many new exercises.
I strongly recommend Yana to everyone who is tired of going to the gym and not seeing any progress, or who got bored with monotonous online programs copied from one another. Yana manages to build a program so that you don't lose motivation from excessive complexity, but at the same time don't get bored at all – a perfect balance! She is also very interesting to communicate with, and in my opinion this is especially rare and therefore super important for a personal trainer!
