BIO
Date of birth: March 14, 1993
I am Ukrainian and my native language is Russian. I also speak good English, good German and a little Finnish. When I teach, I can show you tricks & exercises and guide you to the upside-down world of handstands, basic acrobatics, the secrets of tricks, and I make sure that you become flexible.
BACKGROUND
My background is in sports: 5 years of rhythmic gymnastics followed by 7 years of competitive acrobatics. As a child, I was among the top five rhythmic gymnasts in Ukraine. I am a multiple champion of Ukraine in acrobatics and earned the title: Master Of Sport Of Pair Acrobatics.
I have graduated from the internationally renowned Kiev Academy of Variety and Circus Arts sponsored by Cirque Du Soleil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiev_Municipal_Academy_of_Variety_and_Circus_Arts, received a degree as a circus performer and coach. I performed professionally for more than 10 years around the world as a circus performer at various events and variety theaters.
As a coach, I have 6 years of experience leading groups and private lessons. I specialize in creating shows and arranging and choreographing acrobatics for performances.
GUIDED BY GOALS
My main goal is to lead the classes and make sure that the topics are practiced with enough interest and enthusiasm so that the students don't get bored and lose motivation. My most important responsibility is to protect my students from injuries, while taking care that each of them develops.

From the Customers' Mouths
"The best training place ever!
The teachers are really nice, nice and professional. Really good value for money. And the gym also has versatile equipment and good facilities.
It's nice when you can take those classes when you want, and you can try other classes even if you haven't been before. (And you can still join in really well.) And there are a variety of different classes.
Definitely the best place I've been to train. I recommend! If you're even a little bit interested, it's definitely worth at least giving it a try!"
"LegendTrick Gym is the only place of its kind in Finland. Tricking is a sport about which unfortunately little is still known and it is often confused with many other sports. It's very cool that we have a gym in Tampere that mainly focuses on tricks.
The instructors are professionals and responsible. Developing in the sport is easy here and you get the best possible teaching!
However, in addition to tricks, the gym also offers different courses related to acrobatics, such as handstand lessons, which enable you to always get more out of your own body.
The feeling in the gym is always good and positive, even if you're just there to watch!"
