Danya Wasylyk

Weight Room Teacher

Born and raised in Sydney, Australia Danya grew up playing competitive soccer and volleyball. She found a passion for strength training and dance when she moved to Canada in 2014, and discovered her love for spin in 2018. In 2019 she was presented with an award as a recognized soloist in the Desna Ukrainian Dance Company from M. Vantych – president of the Virsky Ensemble in Ukraine.

Danya was introduced to Where I Thrive during the Great Glebe Garage Sale in 2021, and began with a two week trial. From her first class, Danya felt the warmth of the instructors and the sense of community she had been looking for when moving to Ottawa and knew that this was the place for her! After the two weeks were up, without any hesitation Danya became a client, and it has only gone up from there.

Danya had done some strength training in the past, but it wasn’t until training at WIT where the fire was reignited and she saw how much of a positive change it had on her mental and physical health. Once the opportunity was presented, Danya couldn’t say no!

In Danya’s class you can expect a challenging workout, led with personality and energy to ensure you break a sweat and have a good time.
