“Everything is connected,” Irena Basnikova said. From posture to digestion, balance to core strength, the owner of Naples Fitness Wellness does more than talk the talk. Walk into her studio, and you’ll meet the slender, well-postured lady who says she can help you with your golf swing, strengthen your core, and offer advice on additional exercises, stretches, and nutrition you can take home with you.
My husband and I walked into her suite, not knowing what to expect. Initially, I was there for a little Pilates. But it didn’t take long before I was introduced to a variety of modalities designed to not only helping strengthen muscle groups but immunity and nutritional support. It quickly became apparent. There is no health like total health, which comes with some education and a little help.
Call her a fitness coach or trainer, but it doesn’t really fit the bill because the practice is holistic. It makes sense since so many pieces of the health puzzle fall between fitness and medicine. So, I gave it a try.
