Urbahn Fit

Anka had changed my life.
I first came to her through the typical avenue — I was a bridesmaid in a wedding and I wanted to loose 20lbs in 2 months. I was surprised by how approachable she was. When I walked her through my daily routine, she explained to me that 20 lbs is doable but that A) its extreme and not the healthiest route to go and B) The overall idea of a trainer is to build a healthy lifestyle, to where you find yourself doing the routines on your own. In working with her, I found both to be very true.
I lost the 20 lbs with Anka’s help and so I kept working with her, even after she moved on to another Gym. Diakadi is a bit of a trek for me but she’s worth it. I specifically make the trek because I walk into our sessions stressed and tense and I leave with a smile and feeling a plethora of energy.
It’s now been 7 months, I’ve lost 40 lbs and it’s all been with Anka’s direction, not just through exercise but nutritionally as well — I NEEDED HELP! If I have questions she answers within an hour. If I have an idea, she helps me explore it with her knowledge and she’s definitely a no nonsense type of trainer where she will push you to push yourself and will expects you to be accountable because she herself holds herself accountable to provide you with the best service.
I would recommend her to anyone who is truly serious about making a lifestyle change. She makes it fun, SO FUN, and doesn’t make it feel like exercise — this is actually what keeps me coming back!

I have spent my whole life overweight and too afraid to step into the weight room for fear of looking stupid, I would restrict myself to unhealthy eating habits and only stick to cardio machines and felt desperate as my weight went no where. When I met Anka we just clicked and I knew I wanted to start personal training and I must say it is the best investment I have ever made.
In our time together she created a custom nutrition plan for me, the program was so simple and it was everything I was looking for! Every workout was very detailed so I knew exactly what to do, how much weight I should use and what the proper form looked like and the nutrition plan was very simple and precise. I was given a structure for my meals that was really easy to follow which made sticking to the plan super easy and she also made herself available to answer any questions I have about the plan and she was extremely patient, kind and supportive. Through the whole thing I felt like I had a lot structure and support which is what I desperately needed.
Seeing progress come from Anka’s program and my determination helped me develop this as a way of life rather than a passing diet fad. So far I’ve lost 9% of my body fat (from 27% to 18%), improved my posture, increased my strength substantially, I sleep better, I feel happier and my self confidence has gone way up. For the first time in my life I have been able to wear a bikini in public and feel great in it! I have found a love for exercise, weight lifting and fitness that I thought I could never have. I have competed in two Spartan Races (one of which Anka and I did together!) and found a love for power lifting and plan on competing in my first meet this year.
I would happily stand on a corner with a megaphone and preach this program to the world. I feel like it gave me control of my body and of my life which is something I didn’t have much of before. It was so easy and Anka was such an amazing and supportive coach through it all, I really can’t thank her enough for all that her program has done for me. The best part is that anyone can do this program. I have a busy schedule with work and family but I was still able stick to the program without any issues. It takes hard work and discipline but if anyone chooses to follow Ankas program, there is no way they wouldn’t see amazing results.
