Testimonials

Just over a year ago, I decided that I was tired, really tired, of being overweight and unfit, so I started looking for a personal trainer to help me. I happened upon Narina’s website and emailed her, because I was too nervous to phone, and set up an appointment.  When I finally got up enough courage to walk through the doors of Victoria Wellness, I was greeted by a warmth and friendliness you don’t normally see in a gym. Within this past year I’ve lost about 50 lbs and gained a new me. My doctor is amazed with the increase in my muscle mass and decrease in blood pressure; I rarely get sick anymore and my stamina for longs days is not a problem. And stress, well, I know where to go to get rid of a tough day at work. I’m not there yet, but I’ve come a long way in a year and I’m excited to see what this next year will bring. Saying thank-you to Narina and Victoria Wellness sounds so trivial, but I don’t know what else I can say. They have given me so much more that just fitness. I’m the lucky one!

“I started working out with Narina Prokosch at Victoria Wellness Professionals, in March 2002 after being advised by a physiotherapist that recovery from a rotator cuff injury would take between eight to twelve months.  With Narina’s help and guidance, we nursed my shoulder back within two months. After six weeks of an intensive “Boot Camp” program, I achieved my weight goals, which were to lose 18 lbs, and my body fat was reduced to 21%. Her training as a nurse coupled with her years of experience in fitness offers a level of safety that is not available at the average gym.

“I first became interested in the idea of weight training through a plastic surgeon who had recommended Narina Prokosch’s program at her Wellness Studio as an alternative to reconstructive surgery.   Narina was extremely thorough in her testing and gave an hour and half of her time talking to me about my current condition, the goals and what I could expect from her professional assistance.  I feel stronger, healthier and more energized and am very grateful to Narina for setting me on a path to wellness that will have far-reaching effects on my overall mental and physical health.”

“I have never felt better in my life.  In 6 months I have toned and strengthened my body and will be able to stay in shape for the rest of my life with the program Narina has taught me.”

Narina – “Just a quick note to tell you how pleased I am with the program you set up for me.  I am very impressed by your knowledge base and professional presentation of information.  Both the visual and the written information has been extremely easy to understand.  I’ve been singing your praises for the last week!  Thanks again.”
