Ilya’s passion for working out in the gym and having an active lifestyle started when he was very young when he was diagnosed with Long QT Syndrome, a rare and sometimes fatal heart disorder that can cause an irregular heartbeat. He quickly learned how important it is to live an active lifestyle and take care of your body as best as you can. His goal is to help motivate and encourage people to live an active lifestyle and help people reach any fitness goals they set their minds to. When he is not training here at the gym in Kent, Ilya works for a property management company in the facilities department and serves as a youth pastor at Timberlake Church in Renton.
