Alina's F.I.R.E program has been entirely beneficial in my increase in strength.
As a woman approaching 70 (in a couple of months) and full time carer for my husband, Alina's strength training has enabled me to lift and move him around, which I was not capable of doing before. The increase in physical strength has also overflowed into my mental strength and increase in energy. Just having the knowledge of my strength is empowering on so many levels.
Alina also introduced me to MP nutrition which not only compliments the weight training but has been beneficial in maintaining good health with increased energy and the extra benefit of gaining muscle tone which I've never had in my life.
I've also been training on the beach with the ICE group for the last 2 years - I couldn't believe how my base level of fitness has increased so much....so much so, a couple of months ago I mentioned to Alina that I've always wanted to run but never been able to. She said I had a great fitness base already thanks to Beach ICE and she would have me running 5kms in six weeks. I told her that would not be possible.
I've been trying to run for 70 years and no one has been able to help me. She devised a program for me and told me to stick to the program & follow everything she says. Which I did. Anyway, she was wrong. I was running 5kms in about 5 weeks! I'm now running 10km on the trails which has been a lifetime dream but never thought was possible. She's a magician.
Alina is a methodical, dedicated, passionate trainer. She is always welcoming, energetic and focussed. She suffers no nonsense and if you whinge too much her motto is "Just Keep Quiet and Lift"
I bless the day I met Alina. She's added a dimension to my life which will keep me strong well into my dotage.
