Absolutely. Many of my clients are new to lifting. We start with foundational movement patterns, build confidence and technique, then progress at the right pace for you.

Yes — and it’s actually the most effective approach. Strength training builds lean muscle, which raises your metabolism and changes your body composition far more sustainably than endless cardio. “Getting bulky” is a myth — what you’ll build is a leaner, stronger, more capable body.

In some cases, yes. I require written medical clearance from a doctor or midwife in the following situations:

•       During pregnancy (every trimester)

•       Postpartum, before returning to training

•       If you have any chronic medical condition (cardiovascular, metabolic, autoimmune, etc.)

•       If you're recovering from an injury, surgery, or any procedure

•       If you have a condition that affects how you exercise (joint issues, blood pressure, etc.)

This isn't bureaucracy — it's safety. I'd rather take an extra step at the start than train you in a way that puts your health at risk.

Yes — provided your doctor or midwife has cleared you for strength training. We'll adapt your program by trimester to keep you feeling strong and well throughout pregnancy, while supporting your body and your baby.

Most women begin around 6 weeks postpartum, after their medical check-up. After a C-section or any complications, this can take longer. We always start with written medical clearance and progress at the pace your body is ready for.

Yes. I train women with awareness of diastasis recti, choosing exercises that support the core and progress carefully as you rebuild strength. I'm a personal trainer, not a physiotherapist, so if you'd benefit from a medical assessment, I'll refer you to a qualified specialist — and we can train alongside that work.

Wherever works for you. Options include private gyms, commercial gyms, outdoor sessions, or at your home (upon request). I'm based in Regensdorf and train across Zürich and surroundings.

Not necessarily. If you have one, we can train there. If not, we can train outdoors or arrange home visits. I'll help you figure out the best setup. Note that gym entrance fees are not included in my rates.

For most women, 2–3 sessions per week produces excellent results. We'll figure out the right rhythm for your goals and schedule during your free consultation.

Most clients feel stronger and more energized within 2–3 weeks. Visible body composition changes typically begin around 6–8 weeks of consistent training. The deeper changes — confidence, posture, the way you carry yourself — those last for life.

English and Russian.

Yes. It's a 30-minute conversation — no pressure, no obligation. You tell me about your goals, I tell you how I can help, and we decide together if we're a good fit.

Please give at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations may be charged.

Yes. The 5-session package is valid for 2 months, the 10-session package for 3 months, and the 20-session package for 6 months. This keeps training consistent — which is what produces results.

Absolutely. Strength training is one of the most underused tools for runners and endurance athletes — it improves performance, helps prevent injury, and builds resilience. I’ll design a program that supports your specific goal.
