Maija Rumjanceva /Master Trainer
''I have always loved fitness and enjoyed a healthy lifestyle. Ever since I remember myself, I was always involved in some kind of exercise, whether it was running in the mornings or aerobics after school; being a part of the local handball team; running marathons competitively or just playing football with the boys... Then I got introduced to weight training and got addicted to it ever since!''
Maija was Paul's training partner for over 4 years, working out 5-6 days a week. ''We trained together so obviously I did exact same training routine as him, only lighter weight, of course. The very first weight training session got my body into a total shock: I was unable to walk down the flight of stairs in the gym and literally fell off my feet. Despite being very fit, my body had never experienced anything like that before...''
Maija learned from the very best teacher out there, the master of weight training Paul Byrne, and now knows not only the important basics, but also many of Paul's resistance training secrets and a good few of his 'tricks'!
''I have now worked with Paul for the last 8 years and am proud to have worked alongside Paul 'The Body' Byrne.''
Apart from personal training, Maija is also the secretary of NABBA Ireland and has been organizing NABBA Mr. & Miss Ireland for the past 4 years. She has also been working at N.I. shows, and other smaller national shows in Limerick & Cork. In addition, she has worked at bigger shows like Mr. & Miss Universe and the NABBA World Championships for the past 6 years. Maija also had the honor to organize NABBA World Championships 2006, which was run in Ireland for the very first time in this country.
Maija's clientele list includes: Brian Ormond (TV presenter), Pipa O'Connor (model), George McMahon (actor), Stephen Gately (Boyzone), Andrea Roche (former Miss Ireland), Karen Koster (Xpose), Ray Shea (Q 102 DJ & former Big Brother competitor), Keith Shanley (Country Mix), Keith Barry (magician), Pearse Street Garda Police and many more.
