Ilka Pop
I’m Ilka, a level 3 certified personal trainer, Pilates Instructor, movement specialist, who loves helping my clients achieve their goals and stop falling for misinformation. With 12 years in fitness, I am qualified for Pilates, strength, cardio, endurance training. My fitness journey began 12 years ago in Budapest when I had been fed up living my life as an overweight person. At the age of 18, I decided that the bullying had an effect on my eating habits creating all kinds of eating disorders. This experience taught me that you have to love yourself and respect your decision whether it's about a change in your life or just a goal you really want to achieve, so I trained hard and got deep into nutrition and lost 36 kgs, this led me to become a personal trainer. Today, I help people reach their goals, personal bests, and lifestyles they dream about. I help them love the journey of fitness. So, reach out, and let’s chat about your goals and how I can help. Available for PT Intro session at GYMPODS and ongoing training: Mon 11am, 12pm & 1pm : Tues & Thurs 9am, 10am & 11am
