"Movement is my life…" As a
little girl, I always
skiing, riding my bicycle,
swimming, trying to find a
way to be faster, to be the
first. When I was 15 years
old, I won my first serious
competition in skiing. It
was a sensational of
victory.
Later, I also had this
feeling, but the first one
staid in my memory forever.
After 8 years had passed, I
got other taste of victory:
the victory over myself.
During my last year of
university while getting my
Master Degree I had my first
baby. It was very difficult
for me to finish my
education and to raise a
little son in the same time.
My husband was far from us
(military service) and he
couldn't help me. Later,
there are many times I
overcame obstacles and
taught my sons how to do the
same. Since I became a
Personal Trainer,
I try to help my clients
overcome there obstacles
because weight loss or
maximization of your sport
results is effort to correct
one's shortcomings.
My husband, two sons and I
came in California
from Russia, St. Petersburg,
in 1998. I had only
visitor's visa, so I
couldn't work here. We
settled down in Cupertino
and I started to study
English. When we got Green
Card I went to De Anza
College for new education.
Break in job of software
development which lasted 4
years was too long for me.
In addition, I never like it
too much. At the beginning,
I tried Business
Administration. I got the
certificate and started new
job. No! It is not for me! I
couldn't spend whole the day
in a chair. What do I really
like to do? Of course, I
like physical activity, I
did it all of my life. I
spend a lot of time in gyms,
paid for personal training…
I try to make it my career.
In 2006 I became
Certified Personal Trainer.
I enjoy my job very much. I
glad to help others enjoy a
more active life style, so
they may enjoy a higher
quality of life, to achieve
and maintain a healthy
lifestyle, be a part of an
atmosphere where my positive
attitude can affect others
in a positive manner.
