I help you build something that works for you.
The Strength Without Labels (SWOL) program is a free community initiative run in partnership with a local non-profit, GiGi’s Playhouse, dedicated to empowering individuals with Down syndrome through the transformative power of strength training. Valeriia and Anya founded this program to challenge common misconceptions about Down syndrome, particularly the belief that individuals have limited capacity for building strength, muscle tone, or physical independence. Its mission is to shift the focus toward what each participant can achieve, while fostering an environment built on inclusivity, confidence, and support.
“Before working with Valeriia, I was stuck in a cycle of dieting, losing weight, then regaining it because nothing felt sustainable. She helped me rebuild everything from the ground up. We focused on structure, not restriction and I learned how to eat in a way that actually fits my life. I’ve lost 18 pounds so far but the biggest change is that I no longer feel out of control around food. Daily check-ins with Valeriia also keep me grounded on days I want to quit”
“I am actually in LOVE with my routine now!! I never thought I’d say that. I used to dread working out and constantly quit on myself. Now I look forward to my workouts. Everything finally feels clear and doable. I’m not guessing anymore, I just follow the plan and it works. I genuinely feel so proud of myself for staying consistent this long.”
“I used to feel so out of place working out. Everything felt confusing and overwhelming. Having a structured plan and knowing exactly what to do changed everything for me. I’ve gotten stronger, but the biggest change is how I feel walking into the gym now. I actually feel like I belong there.”
“What I appreciated most was how personalized everything felt. My schedule is busy and unpredictable and instead of forcing me into a rigid plan, Val helped me build something that works with my life. That made all the difference. I’ve made more progress in a few months than I did in years on my own!!!”
“I am PROUD of myself again... and that’s the biggest change. I actually feel proud when I look in the mirror and proud of how consistent I’ve been. I never had that before.”
“It’s honestly hard to put into words, but this doesn’t feel like a typical program. You actually feel supported and seen, not just like another number... also, watching Val and Anya train together makes it feel more real, it motivates you in a completely different way.”
