Getting into strength training after a long break can be tough, but with propper support and the right plan - happens faster than it seems. I see this client after client. In 4-6 months we usually reap the changes that folks were battling with for years.

 

 

Charlotte's 4 Month Transformation

“Charlotte lost 20 lbs of fat and gained a few lbs of muscle.

She used to run cross country, and has strong legs, however her knees were hurting during long distance running . Her program included balancing lower body and strengthening upper body. Abs, arm and shoulder definition – as some nice side benefits to reap 💪

Despite the rigorous MIT PhD program, she is keeping the workouts up and monitoring her diet for optimal performance in the gym , classroom and lab.”

Mark's 6 Month Transformation

This is what dedication and hard work can bring you: lean, strong and confident. We’ve been training for half a year together – starting with bodyweight and interval work, moving to more weightlifting and powerlifting routines.

Now Mark is knowledgeable enough to switch to an online program and continue on his own (with weekly check ins of course) 😎.

He went plant based too and managed to lose 30 lbs of fat gain 5 lbs of muscle + deadlift over 1.5x his body weight × 8 reps, learned how bench and squat like a powerlifter, do 8 body weight pullups and got that nice six pack going.

Tired of losing weight and gaining it back?

Yulia Came for Fat Loss, achieved Strength and Body Recomposition

"I’ve been working with Katya since July 2021. My initial goal was to improve my overall health, while constantly working at the front of computer. Another reason was to restore physical strength after two pregnancies and increase my energy level after COVID. So far, just for 3 months of working with Katya once a week personally and via app at home/gym, I feel myself as before pregnancy mode - high level of energy, more strength and lost 8lb, and NO back/shoulders pain…

My VO2max after COVID dropped down significantly from 38 to 30, with Katya I was able to move it up to 36 and moving toward. I enjoy working with Katya, as she is very professional, flexible with nutrition preferences, the routine of doing exercise is not boring, as she always can adjust it based on your lifestyle. 

I would highly recommend Katya to everyone who is looking to improve their eating habits, overall health and appearance, crash that “plateaus effect” and stress in everyday life, to find that “balance” between work/family responsibilities and doing something for yourself! BIG THANK YOU to Katya! I really found what I was looking for myself!"

Kathleen Lost Weight and Won her 1st Powerlifting Meet as a Vegan

"Katya's program works! I went from 0 powerlifting experience to trained and competing at my first meet in about 3 months. Katya works with you to achieve your goals. I am stronger and my physique has greatly improved. Trust the process!"

Women Supporting Women in the Weight Room

Mechelle and Carol joined me over a year ago and I love to work with them. They support each other and uplift women around them. Creating a community where women are comfortable to be themselves and focus on achieving more, being more is the reason I have started TOTALBODYLAB 4 years ago! Makes me smile :)

Harsh Added Kilos on the Barbell while Keeping a Lean Physique

"I've worked with Katya for 7 weeks now, and have enjoyed the process. She is quite flexible with respect to working with client needs and amazingly tolerant. In these 7 weeks I had to travel for a few of them causing me to slow down/loose progress and she helped me work with whatever I had access to. She adapts to the equipment at hand which was cool. She was also accepting of the fact that I wanted to lift more than she prescribed, and that I engaged in activities that hinder optimal recovery. But those qualities aside, the workouts she designs are fun, the exercises change regularly, and I can feel progress, hence I would recommend working with her."
