Meet Viktoriia Matusevych, one of our dedicated Healthy Dent County Fitness Center members whose commitment to health and well-being is truly inspiring.
Viktoriia admits that fitness wasn’t always something she enjoyed. “No, I hated it before!” she laughs. But after realizing that staying active was key to living longer and feeling better, she made a change — and once she started seeing results, she was hooked.
She’s now been working out consistently for over two years, training five days a week at the gym and walking daily. Her motivation? “It makes me feel good afterwards and keeps me in shape,” she says.
Stronger, healthier, happier
Exercise has transformed Viktoriia’s life — not just physically but mentally.
“It’s made me stronger and healthier,” she says proudly.
She enjoys a mix of workouts but leans toward cardio, finding it easier and refreshing. Most of what she’s learned comes from watching others and exploring fitness content on YouTube or TikTok.
When it comes to nutrition, Viktoriia says she and her family do their best to eat healthy: “Yes, as much as we can!”
Originally from Ukraine, Viktoriia came to the U.S. to study. Her fitness story took a turn after a health scare — an unexpected case of appendicitis that reminded her how valuable good health really is.
“I decided to be healthy again,” she shares, and she’s followed through ever since.
Viktoriia’s biggest motivation comes from within.
“Myself — and a good figure,” she says with a smile.
She’s proof that with consistency, curiosity, and self-motivation, anyone can create lasting change.
