Where You can find Wellness that is as Unique as You Are

Naples Fitness WellnessIrena Basnikova was born in Russia, where she was blessed to be raised by loving, educated, and health-oriented parents. They grew organic fruits and vegetables and lived a holistic and sound lifestyle, which was an excellent way for her to begin life.

Irena obtained a 5-year Political Economics Degree at the St. Petersburg State University in Russia. Shortly after moved to Wilmington, North Carolina, where she started her fitness and wellness journey. In 1999 moved to Naples, Florida. In 2005, Irena was a personal trainer and instructor of water aerobics at the Wyndemere Golf and Country Club. In 2007, Irena also began training at Pelican Bay Fitness Center. In 2009, Irena gained her Pilates Reformer certification and added Pilates classes to her popular water aerobics class schedule. Irena wanted to see her clients make more progress and had a desire and a passion for more education and answers to whole-body and mind wellness.

When she launched Naples Fitness Wellness, Irena’s lifelong dream of creating a “Hole-in-One” fitness and wellness studio became a reality in December 2018. Irena wanted to help her golf clients play more excellently on the golf course. She equipped her studio with one-of-a-kind pieces of equipment for her new state-of-the-art facility. She began teaching athletes and clients of all ages in her own studio about the importance of posture, movement, and the effects of stress on the whole body. Irena treated every client as a unique puzzle she wanted to solve. What can we do to improve EVERY part of the body? Irena doesn’t see limitations; she sees clients as winning and already well. As her clientele grew, so did her desire for more education.

Irena attended the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) in San Diego, California. The Titleist Performance Institute uses a holistic approach and innovative technologies to help golfers improve their performance. They utilize advanced equipment fitting methods, detailed swing analysis, and science-based player conditioning. TPI Level 1 Certification teaches golf, fitness, and medical professionals how to evaluate a golfer for physical limitations, which can inhibit swing efficiency, durability, and, ultimately, enjoyment of the game. Irena learned to quickly assess a player’s physical capabilities using the TPI Level 1 screen and to understand how the assessment results correlate with the technical elements in the player’s swing. TPI will quickly identify the critical area that can keep a golfer from playing their best. This is called the Body-Swing Connection.

Having received two additional advanced certifications from the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), Irena operates with evidence-based solutions for golf professionals and recreationists. Recognizing that over half of all serious golfers have experienced physical issues that influenced their performance, Irena is well-versed with the information and tools necessary to coach clients on resolving their golf-specific injuries. Among the services provided by NFW are Epigenetic Nutritional & Wellbeing Reports, designed to learn about your nutritional and immune system challenges, used by Irena to build a personalized wellness program for you.

More than Massage Therapy
When we asked Irena what she felt was her most used equipment for her new space, Irena stated, “The comfort craft 850 table I use for active isolated stretching and massage therapy. The comfort craft 850 table improves treatment results. The table has a lateral read unit that moves twenty-five degrees in either direction for working the extremities during side-to-side movement. Another great benefit of a mid-split table is that it removes the body from a flat surface. This creative approach allows the lower back’s relaxation and supports the body’s arch when laying face up.”

Irena uses Cranial Release Technique to reduce stress. The technique works to “unlock” locked cranial bones to restore balance and reduce stress and pain in the body. Among other effects, CRT can help relax a stressed heart rate and increase Alpha/Theta waves in the brain (necessary for relaxation). CRT can also be very effectively combined with other types of bodywork.

Irena starts each new client with a complete posture assessment. She then builds a personalized program based on the desired outcome for every client. In addition to the massage therapy services in her studio, Irena offers her clients holistic therapies to release stress, feel engaged, have better movement and posture, and perform on the playing field. She assesses stress levels, scar tissue, cranial alignment, and shoulder, hip, neck, and foot rotation. Golfers seek her out the way Tiger Woods seeks out a double eagle. In the coming months, we will highlight other services Naples Fitness Wellness offers. In this new year, treat yourself to a consultation with Irena. Your body, mind, and spirit will thank you.
