How did you come up with an idea for the Big Triumph concept?
Being a Personal Trainer for several years didn’t give me full satisfaction and results with clients I was looking for. I believed that controlling all aspects of clients life would bring them much better and permanent results. And for that, I needed a team. That’s how it all started!
Over time your team has grown. What do you have in mind while choosing your team members?
When choosing my team members I do have few things on my mind. Do they love their job? Are they funny? How much experience do they have? Do they have team spirit?
We are the team with one vision – to help people live their dream! We do all get along and very often meet and share our experiences.
It seems that you are not giving up easily, which is an imperative for successful athletes. Have you been an athlete?
Being an athlete made me tough. I don’t give up ever. And that’s so important when trying to help others, when they are in doubt or not confident enough to fight for their dreams.
You are a mother of two. How do you balance between your duties at home and your passion towards what you do professionally?
My two kids are my biggest inspiration. They are supporting me in a best possible way, understanding my long working hours. I always make it up for them on weekends.
My husband is always by my side, encouraging me to grow and giving me the best pieces of advice.
Working with families must be difficult as every person is an individual. Is there anything in common between family members or even between different families?
Well, it’s not so easy. But one thing is in common; everyone wants results, and they want them fast.
It’s very interesting for us to meet different families with different backgrounds and to use our experience to create a suitable program just for them. It’s always energetic and fun!
What do you say to someone who has doubts and is afraid of change?
I always tell them. If nothing changes, nothing changes. Make up your mind, go out of your comfort zone and get what you want.
The worst thing is to sit and wait for things to change, because they never will.
You have nothing to lose!
What is your Big Triumph?
My Big Triumph is freedom. Doing what I love, making people happy, laughing with them and boosting their confidence – those are all the reasons behind the smile on my face when I wake up.
