Daria, respektíve Dasha je človek, ktorý keď príde na tréning, tak okolo seba okamžite šíri pozitívnu energiu. Okrem CrossFitu rada príde aj na vzpieranie, či bodybuilding, ale ak by sme mali vybrať jeden tréning, ktorý sa nám s ňou neodmysliteľne spája, tak je to gymnastika. Dasha bola asi úplne prvým členom nášho gymu, ktorý prišiel vyskúšať hodinu gymnastiky a odvtedy sa stala doslova jej „tvárou“. Ale nie je to iba gymnastika v čom vyniká – Dasha je neuveriteľne talentovaná fotografka! Jednoducho, kto ešte nemá fotografiu od Darie, tak akoby ani nebol. Určite pozrite jej instagramový profil a odpadnete 🙂
Dasha nám odpovedala na naše klasické otázky:
Tell us a few words about yourself.
Daria is kinda official, my friends call me Dasha ✨ I’m 30 years old and was born in Mykolaiv, Ukraine. I studied pharmacy, but ended up becoming a photographer because it had always been my favorite hobby.📸
What are you most proud of in your training or progress?
I can do three pull-ups in a row now, I couldn’t even do one before. I can stand on my head And I can do a lot of things on the rings that I never even dreamed of doing before!
Which workout or exercise is the biggest challenge for you, and why?
Honestly, I’m afraid of jumping onto a wooden box 😁 It’s completely psychological.
How has CrossFit changed your life outside the gym?
Well, now I can show my friends some gymnastics tricks 😄 But more importantly, it has given me more strength and endurance in everyday life, especially when I have to hold a heavy camera with one hand all day long.
What do you like most about training at NØRDER?
What I love most about NØRDER is how quickly I felt like I belonged there, surrounded by friends. I used to have that kind of CrossFit community back in Ukraine, and I thought I would never find it again in Europe. Turns out I was wrong!
If you had to describe NØRDER in only three words, what would they be?
Community. Fun. Challenge.
Do you have a memorable moment from training with us that has stayed with you?
Yes! When Andrew led a gymnastics class especially for me and my friends for my birthday. It was unforgettable!
What advice would you give to someone who is afraid to start CrossFit?
Give yourself at least two weeks, and you’ll start craving the workouts. And besides, nobody in this club will judge you or look down on you, it’s not a typical gym ☺️.
Daria, ďakujeme a sme nesmierne radi, že si si vybrala práve náš gym ☺️
