About Me
Hello, my name is Diana and I am russian speaking personal trainer from Lithuania who is currently based in Aberdeen, Scotland. For me being active is like oxygen, it keeps me alive and is my biggest passion. From the early age I was obsessed with sports. I have almost 20 years of experience in Rhythmic and Aerobic gymnastics (started at the age of 5). These two types of gymnastics made me a real fighter, and helped me build up my discipline, patience, persistence and respect to other competitors.
Sports Achievements
In my years of participating in various gymnastics competitions I have won first places in Lithuania’s Championships and Cups, and was golden and silver finalist of Baltic Countries. I also took part in various worldwide championships (Belarus, France, Hungary, Romania and others).
Higher Education and Qualifications
In pursuit of self-knowledge I decided to make another big step towards my passion. I finished BSc (Hons) Sports and Exercise Science (Teaching and Coaching) course in London in 2016. On top of that, I’ve gotten qualifications as Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer. I went through various ups and downs, just like everyone else, and these challenges made me who I am today. It's been more than 3 years since I started training people. During these years I have been certified as a Nutritional Advisor, fitness classes specialist in Indoor Cycling and Aquarobics. At the moment I am aiming to become certified in Yoga.
My Mission as a Personal Trainer
I am here to help each of my clients reach his or her Personal Peak in fitness by teaching them how to manage their health properly, with sensible nutrition and fitness instructions uniquely put together to suit each persons individual goals, circumstances and resources. All my training programs implement natural, positive, safe, effective, efficient and enjoyable solutions. My philosophy is rooted in self-love and finding one’s true inner strength.

“Diana has been my personal trainer for a year and a half now, and I can’t believe the difference in my overall fitness and strength! She’s not bothered about age or ability, just helping you to reach goals, every workout is different which is great for motivation. Couldn’t recommend Diana highly enough.” - Janet
“Proud of working with Diana on creating a program that was adapted for my first marathon. A running program combined with her personalized fitness training helped me reached the finish line. She prepared me to get stronger and feel more confident about myself. Her plan was modified for every running, strength, and stability challenge. Her experience and support not only helped me achieve my goals but also to change my lifestyle. Thank you, Diana!” - Yanith
"I’ve been going to the gym for a while, attending classes etc but only recently signed up with Diana as my PT. We discussed my goals as well as a realistic diet. Diana and I worked on building my strength and mobility and within a month my technique had greatly improved and I notice a huge difference in my strength. We rotate between HIIT and strength sessions, using equipment I had never used before. Diana has been so accommodating with everything I request. She outlined routines for at home and at the gym including stretches after working at a desk all day. I have lost nearly 10kg, increased my energy, ability and confidence. Working with Diana has positively changed my lifestyle so much." - Patricia
“My goal was to become stronger and more flexible for yoga. Diana helped me to set targets and achieve my goals. I noticed a huge difference when working with her, and I lost a lot of weight, which was a plus!” - Alessia
“Due to the injury I had been carrying for a year from rugby, I was desperate to work with somebody who was proficient and knowledgeable in leg injuries and associated recovery exercises. I booked for an appointment and Diana was the appointed instructor. The first session was 30 mins long for free in which she then recommended that I book for few more sessions. I agreed and throughout the course of six weeks we carried out stretching , working on core and stability exercises. Diana has been absolutely superb in her professionalism and the knowledge that she imparted was first class. Not only have I fully recovered but also have gained knowledge and strength from the time spent with Diana. I would recommend her to any sportsperson with injuries in need of rehabilitation.” - Ratu
“It was very fun working with Diana. I used to do a bit of gymnastics when I was a child. And after almost 30 years I wanted to remind myself that feeling again. Diana seemed to be the right person, as she had 20 years of experience in such field. Thanks to her knowledge and gymnastics inspired workouts my flexibility, strength and endurance improved a lot. What is more, sessions were always different and fun, every time she was teaching me new exercises. Now I am able to do handstands and splits without anyone's support. Sadly she moved to Scotland, otherwise I would be happy to continue 1-2-1 sessions with her!” - Ann
“Have had Diana since January 2020 as my PT. Best thing ever done, brought me on leaps and bounds. I have never been fitter and stronger before. Love sessions so much, can't wait to get back to gym with her.” - David
