PRs, Meet Wins, and platform numbers.

Some of my clients walked in with zero strength training experience and are now competing on the platform. Others came back to lifting after years away, or just wanted to feel strong again. Every plan is built around the person in front of me.

Personalized programming

No two plans look the same.

I write every program from scratch based on where you're at - your training age, schedule, recovery, injury history, and what you actually want out of lifting. If something's not working, we change it. If you're peaking for a meet, we peak for the meet. If you're trying to fit lifting into a busy life, we build around that.

From zero to the platform

Met where you're at, taken further than you thought.

A handful of clients I work with started with zero strength training background. We built the basics, dialed in technique, and over time they've gone on to compete - and place. That's the part of the job I'm proudest of. You don't need to be 'ready' before we start. We get you ready together.

Specific issues, specific work

The little things matter.

Cranky hip in the bottom of your squat? Bench keeps stalling at the same weight? Lockout falling apart? We work the actual issue instead of just adding volume and hoping. Form review, accessory work, and small programming tweaks make the difference between grinding and progressing.

"Honestly this whole block I've made progress and hit goals that I thought would take years."
Lexi
Powerlifting client
"Olenka has been so amazing in my powerlifting journey! I've gone through personal training for about 3 years now and I've only recently started putting some effort towards anything competition based. I am lifting more than I ever thought I'd dream and it's all because of how meticulous she plans the exercises. I couldn't be happier with my results so far!"
Rachel B.
Powerlifting client
"Personal training from Olenka has been challenging, rewarding and motivating. She has a positive outlook and provides programming to meet my needs. She is easy to work with as she has a pleasant disposition. If you want RESULTS, I highly recommend Olenka as your personal trainer."

"Came in just wanting to feel strong again after years away from the gym. A few months in and I'm hitting numbers I never touched in my 20s. The programming actually fits my life."
