The famous Ukrainian fitness trainer Marina Borzhemskaya, in her new interview on the Persona Community YouTube channel, declassified how her television career actually began.. According to Marina, she got into the project “Zvazhenі and schaslivі” not because of the desire to become famous, but to support her then husband, boxer Vyacheslav Uzelkov.

When the recruitment of trainers began for one of the seasons of “Zvazhenі and Shchaslivi”, Marina decided to help her husband get this job. She knew the project’s host Olesya Zhurakovskaya and called with a request to contribute to Vyacheslav’s candidacy. However, Zhurakovskaya responded by inviting Marina to fill out the form herself..

The film crew quickly noticed that it was Borzhemskaya who was doing the “lion’s share” of Uzelkov’s preparatory work. Having appreciated her professionalism and approach, the producers invited Borzhemskaya to try her hand at being a coach..

Marina emphasized that she didn’t get the job just like that - she went through all the castings on equal terms with other candidates, so that the team was convinced of the right choice.

“I got there when the children’s father started working on this project. Once Slava went to “Dancing with Stars”, then he was taken to “Ukraine’s Got Talent”, where I helped him correctly formulate answers, as one might say, to address a person, how to respond to this, that or motivate him there. And then, when the “Important and Happy” project began, they were just looking for a coach. And at that time I already knew Olesya Zhurakovskaya, and Olesya Zhurakovskaya was the host of this project. And I called and said: “Olesya, could you help Slava get there as a coach for that project, because I see that they are recruiting there”. She says to me: “Why don’t you want to fill out the form I say: “No, I will help Slava”. I didn't think about it at all. And then, when the entire film crew saw that I was doing this work, the lion’s work and the lion’s share of this work, they offered me to become the coach of “The Happy and the Happy”. And I went through auditions like everyone else. This had to be done so that they could decide whether they were making the right choice.. And that’s how I got there for this project.. And thanks to him, I was able to discover new talents even in myself,” shared Marina.
