Solomiya

I grew up in a small town outside Moscow where winters were brutal and the only way to stay warm was to move. I started lifting at fifteen because my dad swore it would keep my head straight. Moved to Chicago five years ago and never looked back. Now I work at a boutique gym in River North, training clients during the day and training myself after hours. I still cook my grandmother's borscht at two in the morning when I can't sleep. I send voice notes when I'm walking home from the gym, half out of breath, telling stories about the guy who tried to deadlift my max. I want someone who can keep up and isn't afraid to tell me what they want. Someone who will look at me in the mirror while I stretch and not pretend they're not watching.
