About
Co. Nz Hello, my name is Maria, and I am a highly qualified and experienced Personal Trainer based in Stoke Newington, North London. With a passion for health and wellbeing, I have helped my clients consistently reach and exceed their fitness goals through my infectious enthusiasm, humour, and commitment.
Originally from Russia and raised in both the USA and UK, my love for sports began at a young age as a competitive swimmer and cross-country runner. This background has given me a deep understanding of the effort, dedication, and time required to achieve health and fitness goals. I am dedicated to passing on my expertise and passion to my list of loyal clients.
Prior to becoming a Personal Trainer, I worked as a solicitor in the City. This experience has allowed me to fully understand the stresses of city life and the importance of prioritising health and wellbeing in today's fast-paced world. As a long-term Stoke Newington resident, I serve clients in the North London area as well as worldwide through online training.
I believe in a holistic approach to health and fitness, emphasising the connexion between mind and body. I aim to create a positive mindset for my clients, helping them achieve meaningful goals while prioritising their mental health.
In my training sessions, I incorporate a mix of styles including Pilates, strength-training, and yoga techniques. This approach increases flexibility while also building stronger muscles over time. I will work with you to make gradual changes that fit seamlessly into your busy lifestyle, allowing you to surpass your personal best and feel stronger than ever before.
Many of my clients have sought my services due to injuries or underlying health problems. I have a strong interest in injury rehabilitation and biomechanics, often collaborating with physiotherapists, chiropractors, and osteopaths to create individualised, practical, and safe programmes. I hold a specialist qualification in lower back pain, ensuring that I am well-equipped to address any back issues.
Training should not feel like a chore, but an enjoyable experience. I understand the demands of city life and aim to create a space where you can focus on yourself and regain balance. Through group training and bootcamps, there are ample opportunities to make friends and become part of my extensive fitness family.
I offer a range of services to cater to different needs and preferences. These include 1:1 private sessions tailored to your goals and interests, 2:1 sessions to share the cost with a friend or training partner, group classes designed for specific levels and goals, and a free 40-minute core session called Abs Friday, available to all my trainees. Additionally, I provide pre and post-natal training to prepare for a strong birth or recover post-pregnancy. For those with back injuries, my specialist qualification allows me to help resolve any issues effectively.
Based in Stoke Newington, I welcome any questions or inquiries about my services. Feel free to contact me through email or phone to discuss your fitness journey and receive a quote. I am dedicated to helping you achieve your health and fitness goals while providing a supportive and enjoyable training experience.
