"Polina is a terrific trainer and a great human being: warm, funny and extremely sensitive to the needs, goals, and limitations of her clients. I am NOT a dedicated gym bunny, but I look forward to my time with Polina and always feel better afterwards. I would recommend her to anyone of any age without reservation."

"When I showed up for my first consultation with Polina back in November I was completely and utterly unhappy in my body. I was stuck in an awful pattern of making outrageous promises about what I was going to do to get fit (always “starting tomorrow,” of course) and failing so fully that I could barely muster the nerve to try anymore. I was stuck — and I needed help getting unstuck.
Enter Polina." CONTINUE READING

"Not only is Polina one of the nicest people I know, she is by far the best trainer I have ever had! Her ability to make me feel comfortable and confident about working out is something that is really important to me. She adapts our workouts to my level, my strength, and my attitude. Polina is so attentive to my personal needs and goals. Her positive and nurturing attitude makes me want to work harder and prove to myself that I can do anything she asks me to do. I really do look forward to our sessions together and I always leave feeling great about my body and myself. Polina is AWESOME!!"
