TESTIMONIALS

I have been training with Sergey and Corine for just over four years now and I have been impressed with every session. My goals were many when I started at Fitnastika: become a better ice hockey player, increase my max reps in squats and deadlifts, become more explosive, challenge myself physically and mentally, walk across the gym floor in a handstand. Sergey and Corine met every goal I threw at them and created a training program to help me achieve the goal. I have been pushed, supported, encouraged and yelled at (in a good way of course)! Most notably during my training with Sergey & Corine I have gained considerable muscle mass and all the additional strength that comes with it. I would not hesitate to recommend Sergey and Corine as trainers, you will love them, you will hate them, they may not always give you what you want but they will always give you what you need.

Angela Rinaldis, Personal Training client since 2013

I have been training contortion and handstands with Corine for the last 5 month and she is absolutely amazing! She is very knowledgeable and has progressions for all levels. She is very personable and I am constantly inspired to be better. I am always amazed at how much she knows and how she always has a different variations depending on how I am feeling that day. Training with Corine has been an absolute pleasure. I completely trust her to spot me in and through difficult skills/positions. In addition, I have learnt to trust myself and my ability to be able to do these skills. My flexibility has increased so much in the last few months and well as my brain to body connection for handstands. On top of that, I feel like my strength has grown overall because she has all these amazing drills to prep you to be strong all around, upside down or right side up. I highly recommend her to help you accomplish whatever goals you have.

I have been fortunate to work with Sergey and Corine for 4+ years! They have been the most dedicated, positive and helpful fitness trainers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Sergey pushed me to new heights at an elite level in tennis, helping me with strength and conditioning on and off court. His sports specific knowledge not only educated on how to keep my body in good shape but on how to properly fuel and recover! Sergey and Corine’s background with Cirque de Soleil complements their sessions since they dedicate time on flexibility/mobility in order to get the most out of a workout. The rest of the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, you can never go wrong with Fitnastika 🙂

Actor Josh Dallas from Once Upon a Time gives great review to Fitnastika Fitness in Vancouver

It is hard to put into words how thankful I am for what the FITNASTIKA Team has done for me with your Professional Training, Rehab and Therapy. It has been almost a decade that I have suffered agonizing chronic back pain, unable to enjoy an active life. Moreover, my lifelong beloved profession was under threat as I was advised to change my job as a Tennis Coach. I am, for the first time in almost a decade of suffering, finally getting closer to an active pain-free life.

Oded Jacob, Tennis National Junior Training Program (BC) Head Coach, Active Rehabilitation client since 2014

Undoubtedly the best personal training experience for individuals of all ages and physical capabilities. Fitnastika’s knowledgable and creative staff makes coming to fitness sessions a pleasure— facilitating a truly enjoyable training environment. Fitnastika’s tennis specific programs helped me elevate my game in order to compete in NCAA Division I sports. If you’re looking for the best personal training in the lower mainland, look no further!

Max Korkh

I have been training with Sergey and Corine and their wonderful Fitnastika team for three years. They are always positive, always welcoming, and most important - always encouraging and supporting me to achieve my goals. Workouts are highly personalized to respond to specific challenges and opportunities. Despite a lifetime of athletics, I'm learning so much about what I should (and shouldn't) be doing to maintain my fitness.

Nancy Spooner, Personal Training client since 2014

I was referred to Sergey by a friend who knew of my complex physical issues (multiple orthopedic and abdominal surgeries) and said that Sergey's methods were unique in their simplicity and his attention to detail. Sergey has incredible depth of knowledge of the human anatomy, movement, compensation mechanisms and sports in general. He approaches training with humour, zest and celebrates small victories with the same enthusiasm whether he is dealing with world level athletes, celebrities or people with limited ability to move with ease. Truly life altering!

Laurence Braun, Active Rehabilitation client since 2013

Sergey and Corinne are awesome. Both have so much experience and are great role models for athletes looking to make a big jump in their sport, or their own health/performance. They are great for sports specific training, as both were very high level athletes themselves. As a high performance tennis player myself, I can say that they 100% helped me take my game to the next level.

UBC coach Joe McCullum gives great review to Fitnastika Fitness in Vancouver

Sergey and Corine are taking the Vancouver personal training and strength and conditioning to a new level. Their background in acrobatics coupled with their understanding of human movement cannot be replicated. Their athletic past was clearly driven through passion and dedication and I see this carry over in how they work with their clients.

Joe McCullum, University of British Columbia, Head Coach, Strength and Conditioning

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sergey, Corine, and other fitnastika staffs for multiple years. Playing such a physical sport such as tennis, strength and conditioning were very important in improving my fitness and maintaining a healthy body. Throughout my time working with fitnastika, they have been the most passionate, dedicated, and positive group of trainers I’ve been around. They have so much knowledge for sports specific training and the results really do show. Having been with so many trainers throughout my life including the staff at University of Texas (where I’m currently a student athlete), I can say with absolute confidence that they’re skills are second to none. They’ve really developed and trained my body to have the best foundation I could’ve asked for. Thanks fitnastika!

Jerry Huang

I have been training with Sergey and Corine for 3 months now. Loved it! They would really assess your body condition and tailor a training plan. I’m mainly training for fencing and overall fitness, which really worked out with their training plan since they understand the needs as athletes rather than body builder. I had bad flexibility and mobility but after first months there was obvious improvements. Will continue to train with them for sure.

Jingyi Zhang

Sergey is a fitness expert and a body transformer. Trainers seem to be a dime a dozen these days, but Sergey and his team at FITNASTIKA are truly exceptional. Each individual he trains will have exactly the workout plan they need for his or her body. I saw results immediately.
Even on the days where you're not training with him, he gives you the knowledge of how to train smarter, safe and more efficient. Sergey hands you the keys to every door that will lead you to the body that you want. All you have to do is open them.

OUR ROOTS

Fitnastika Fitness was founded in Vancouver by Corine Latreille and Sergey Nazarov back in 2013. Sergey and Corine met while they were both performing at Cirque de Soleil with an award-winning show Kooza.

Prior to their time at Cirque, Corine and Sergey had successful careers in artistic gymnastics and acro-sport, competing professionally in gymnastics in Canada and Russia, respectively. At the age of nineteen, Corine joined l’Ecole nationale de cirque in Montreal, majoring in acrobatic Hand to Hand with a minor in Handstands. One of her proudest moments was performing alongside Avril Lavigne at the closing ceremonies of the 2006 Torino Olympic Games. In turn, Sergey was an acro-sport National Team member and Captain for over 10 years. Sergey competed and became the winner of many international tournaments, world and continental championships.

Making Vancouver their home, Corine and Sergey wanted to share their passion for health and fitness with everyone. Their biggest joy is seeing people improve their lives through healthy diet and exercise, accomplish their goals and push the boundaries of their physical limitations.
