Building Strong Bodies and Minds

Hi, I’m Anya — founder of Strength by Anya, certified personal trainer, boxing coach, and fascial stretch therapist. I work with people of all ages and abilities, from kids to seniors, and everyone in between. My clients include athletes — especially those recovering from injuries — as well as older adults managing chronic conditions like Parkinson’s, individuals with disabilities, and people with special needs. As someone who has experienced hormonal challenges from a young age, I also have a deep passion for supporting women through all stages of hormonal health — including postpartum recovery, perimenopause, and other chronic hormonal imbalances. My approach is always tailored, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that every body deserves to move well and feel strong.

​

But this journey started long before I ever became a trainer.

​

When I first picked up boxing at 12 years old, I lacked confidence and felt weak both physically and mentally. Like many kids entering their teenage years, I was just trying to find my place in the world. Boxing didn’t just give me strength — it gave me purpose. It taught me discipline, resilience, and confidence through some of the hardest chapters of my life. It saved me.

As my training intensified, so did the injuries. I found myself living with chronic pain and being told by surgeons that going under the knife was my only option. But I refused to accept that. Through years of study, movement, and healing, I transformed my body. I overcame the pain, rebuilt my strength, and canceled the surgery I was once told was unavoidable.

​

That’s the heart behind Strength by Anya. I understand what it feels like to be in pain, to feel stuck, or unsure where to start. And I know firsthand what’s possible with the right approach, support, and mindset.

Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic conditions, seeking strength, or just beginning your fitness journey, I’ll meet you where you’re at — literally and figuratively. With in-home, one-on-one training, small group sessions, boxing, coaching, and fascial stretch therapy, I’ll help you build lasting strength and resilience, from the inside out.
