30 september 2026
A group fitness session during the Saturday lunch break on 3rd October will mark the launch of the “Healthy Students – Healthy University” initiative at Varna Free University “Chernorizets Hrabar”. The initiative is organized jointly with the Sports Club of the Student Council.
On 3rd October, from 12:15 to 12:45, all students, lecturers, and staff are invited to join the session in the university’s Eastern Park (in case of bad weather, the session will be held in the Sports Hall at the university’s Academic and Sports Complex). The workout will be led by Galena Lakova, one of Varna’s key fitness instructors, and participants will hear real-life stories about the power of a healthy mind and a healthy body.
Galena is a Psychology student at Varna Free University “Chernorizets Hrabar”. She has been involved in fitness and group aerobic training for 23 years. She leads GL Training sessions and holds certificates in fitness management, aero kickboxing, and step aerobics. She enjoys dynamic workouts and the energy people create when they come together.
Galena also devotes her time and energy to charitable causes. Over the years, she has organized training sessions and campaigns in support of people in need. For her, sport brings people together and gives them an opportunity to make a positive difference as a community.
The initiative will continue on 20th October at 12:30 with a lecture on healthy eating.
Throughout the year, regular group workouts and discussions are planned on topics including eating under stress during exam periods, staying active during a busy student routine, sleep and recovery, mental health, prevention, beauty, inner strength, and charitable giving.
We look forward to seeing you!
