food body and mind"Think of your body as the piano. You are the pianist -- we are the tuners." Those are the last words you might expect to come out of the mouths of two Olympic weightlifters turned fitness coaches. But Woodside's Aniela and Jerzy Gregorek defy convention in so many aspects of their lives. In 2003, Aniela and Jerzy moved to their sylvan Woodside home because they thought Northern California would be a better place to raise their daughter, Natalie, who is now 5 years old.
After coming to the United States from Poland in 1986 as political refugees during the Solidarity movement, the Gregoreks found work as personal trainers in Los Angeles. In addition to starting and coaching the UCLA weightlifting team and training clients in their own home, they also found time to earn master's of fine arts degrees in creative writing.
Over the years, Aniela and Jerzy have developed an integrative program informed by their life experiences, from their work as professional athletes and trainers to their skills in writing and translating poetry. What they found is that all of their clients loosely desired the same outcome: youthfulness. Their program, called The Happy Body, helps people achieve what they have deemed the six primary qualities of youthfulness: flexibility, strength, speed, leanness, ideal body weight, and good posture.
