3 Fun Facts
- I can’t concentrate if I know how heavy my barbell is – so I don’t know how much I’m lifting. I usually count in the end, haha!
- I know it’s crazy, but I love to eat crickets!
- I love to dance and sing while I clean, and I use the mop as a microphone!

PT Clients Reviews
Laura
"I started to train with Jlenia in August 2021, and she has been the best Personal Trainer I have ever had. I found it very hard to connect with PTs in the past, but with her, it’s been different. I feel that she cares a lot for her clients, always follows up on how I am – not only in terms of the sessions but also helping me with food and checking in on me if I’m a bit down with my mood or worries.
I have learned a lot from her, first of all not to be hard on myself, to believe in myself and my capabilities, to listen to my body, to be constant, and to build a routine. Now I need to exercise, not only to keep my body moving, but I also find it helps me with my mental health.
In terms of body changes, my legs look skinnier, my bottom has had a nice lift, and my arms are stronger. I feel much better as well. I am very happy to have found Jlenia to help me through my fitness journey."
Simona
"Jlenia is the reason why I completed Fitness Playground’s 6-week challenge. She constantly motivated me and checked in on me with fitness advice, but also nutrition tips.
She also taught me that the number on the scale is just an obsession – that you can weigh more and look better, that you need to eat if you want to perform, and not to be scared of food. I had sore knees when I trained by myself, but she’s taught me the right movements to do and the muscles to activate – I haven’t had any more problems with my knees after that.
I really recommend Jlenia as a Personal Trainer. She is motivating, prepared, and she really cares about you achieving your goals."
Claudia
"I started doing personal training with Jlenia not even knowing how to do a deadlift. I learned all the basic techniques, and from there I have become much stronger and much more confident about approaching the machinery.
I have become almost autonomous working my way around the gym – and that’s HUUUGE for me. My program is always challenging enough without scaring me away. And the exercises are very much tailored to my goals.
It’s super important to feel comfortable with your Personal Trainer and be able to share worries and doubts, and I can honestly say Jlenia became a friend. I love that she is always so bubbling and full of energy. That motivates me to give 100% every session, even when I felt that I just wanted to go back to sleep."
