We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Boris Tonkikh. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Boris below.
Boris, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
Hi! Im Boris Tonkikh and I am 28 years old from Romania. I started working out at the age of 15 years old to improve my self. While doing this I slowly developed a passion for fitness. I saw myself improving every day while helping others achieve their fitness goals I went on to get certified as a fitness trainer and a licensed nutritionist. I started coaching people online by offering fitness and nutritional services to anyone who wanted help through online coaching. I customized every nutritional menu and fitness plan to fit the needs of each client. By doing this, I have gone on to change the lives of 50 people, throughout the world. My plan consists of creating a nutritional plan, fitness plan, weekly check-ins, and progress reports. I usually make myself available through online messaging, emails, and FaceTime. keeping my clients motivated so they can reach their final goal is important. Each client has a different goal for themselves, as I always encourage them to just keep moving forward, no matter how long it may take. While doing this, I get the opportunity to hear my client experiences and progress reports. As a fitness trainer it strengthens my determination to keep going in helping others improve their lives through fitness and nutrition. To this day,I am still in touch with clients who have left my program for personal reasons. They explain how my program has helped them establish a healthy foundation in their life. After 12 years of working out and helping others feel good about themselves. I do not see myself stopping any time soon; as it’s my passion. If there are people out there who need my help, I will always provide it through my services.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
Health and fitness are a big part of anybody’s life. To help you in so many ways, both mentally and physically. You may be working your body, but also you’re working your mind too. Fitness allows a release of negative thoughts for many. Personally, this has helped me keep positive and laser focused on my goals. A healthy body equates to a healthy mind. Because, I feel so strongly about helping others. It brings me such a sense of joy to see my clients change into their optimal self. Before my clients started my program they tell me about Their accomplishments, which is amazing. Because no matter what the accomplishment is large to small, they are on their way to optimal health. My goal is to help others achieve optimal fitness results through proper nutrition, a healthy mindset, and of course fitness
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
It is through my extensive experience of my own fitness journey that has allowed me to gain knowledge needed for optimal results. It was also the ability to keep going and not give up no matter how hard my fitness journey was. My advice to those starting out on your own fitness plan, is to take it slow and steady. My entire fitness plan boils down to discipline; Discipline on food choices, persistence with working out, and water intake. My program does require some grit to keep going and focus on small improvements everyday, so it becomes a lifestyle versus a fad diet plan.
Before we go, maybe you can tell us a bit about your parents and what you feel was the most impactful thing they did for you?
The most impactful thing was my mother’s decision to move from Romania to the US. The moment we stepped foot in the states, I was hit with dreams and visions throughout. That also opened a lot of opportunities for myself. I’m currently pursuing modeling and acting which is creating more opportunities for myself. Los Angeles is my home where I’m allowed to pursue my career as a TikTok influencer, model, actor and fitness coach. Los Angeles has been kind to me as I flourish with my team and publicist. I would love to have everyone drop by my live show daily on TikTok 12-2pm PST and 6-8pm PST as I am a showman, and enjoy entertaining. So see you soon!
