Vitaliia, a trainer from Sumy, converted her gym into a bomb shelter and began conducting outdoor trainings for everyone

Before the war, Vitaliia Alisimenko was actively preparing for the powerlifting championship of Ukraine and conducting trainings in the gym. She continues to train but outdoors because the gym has been converted into a bomb shelter.

Every willing Sumy resident can sign up for free training. “I don’t have a source of income right now, but I believe this is my front now. This is something I can do for people; my contribution to our struggle,” Vitaliia tells journalists and return to the athletes to help them train and keep fit.
