Personal Trainer

She is a huge Pilates devotee and has trained herself with the help of Nonna Gleyzer, the former member of Ukraine’s rhythmic gymnastics team for many years.

Nonna always encourages his clients to listen to the body as one is the best doctor of his own body. Kerry does Pilates with Nonna for 60 minutes per session and three to four times in a week. One of the reason, Kerry loves Pilates is this kind of exercise does not put pressure on her joints. She was bit worried about her joints couple of years back, when she used to work with some different trainer as at that time, she had some jerk (or problem) around the neck and shoulder area.

Nonna works on her calves especially to increase Kerry’s confidence, when she is moving around in high heels.
