Do you work with the national healthcare provider ?

Neli Dimitrova

Hello Vera,
we do not work with the National health care provider, as we are not a health care facility.

Hello, I would like to know aren’t there weight loss programs during the winter season or do they start as of April 27, 2009 ?

Neli Dimitrova

Hello,
from November to the middle of March we have no groups because our facility is located high in Mount Vitosha and the severe weather conditions during the winter do not permit for the weight loss program to take place in its entirety. The new season 2009 starts at the end of March, according to the plan posted on our website. Until then you are welcome to visit Sport centerAlia (Sofia City, kv. Reduta), where the same staff (physical instructor Katya Misheva and choreographer Rumiana Tsonkova) lead a group in focused aerobics for lean and toned figure and folklore dancing. If the sport center is inconveniently located from your home but you still desire to lose some weight, you are welcome to read the article on our website “50 Ways to Lose Weight”. At the end of January 2009, you will be able to sign up for the new season. If you have any questions, we will be happy to hear from you.

Cheers !

Can I join the group with my 6 year old son in between Christmas and New Years ?

Neli Dimitrova

Regrettably, the Season for 2008 is closed. The next season will begin at the end of March 2009. The exact dates for the first half of the season have already been posted in our website. We would be happy if you can join us then. During the winter season, we still have the Sport Center open. According to your desires, you may choose from a set of folklore dancing classes or specialized aerobics/gymnastics classes for slimming and toning of our figure. In the end of this, page Programs you can find more information about the classes. I hope I have been able to help you with this information. If you have additional questions – we would be happy to hear from you at 946 61 41 or 846 83 69 or Mobile: 0888 449 906.

Thank you for your interest.

Hello I am 31 years old and after my last pregnancy I gained 20 kg / 44 pounds will I be able to get rid of them?

Neli Dimitrova

The success in the weight loss depends entirely on you: desire, patience, will and a strong motivation. I managed to lose 15kg /33 pounds – I do not see why you would not be able to also. The primary focus of our center is in exactly that- to help people who want top lose weight to start eating healthy and to return to an active style of life. We know that it is very hard for someone to radically change their eating habits by themselves. This is why we welcome you to join us at Center Alia now or during our next season (starting at the end of March 2009). If your busy schedule with the new baby does not permit you to join us, we would welcome you to the folklore dancing courses and aerobics/gymnastics classes in our sport center (kv. Reduta). In case you are not able to make them also please, feel free to read the article on our website – “50 Ways to Lose Weight” by Chris Pirillo.

Whatever your decision we would be happy to hear from you.

Thank you for your letter.

Mrs. Georgieva,
I am not sure what exactly I should ask as I am a very serious case. I weight about 155 -160 kilograms my weight problems came about after I started taking anti-depressants which I still use. Nevertheless, I was somehow able to control my weight until the year 2002. In 2002, my father passed away and in the period of a year, I gained 20 kilograms. In the next 4 years, my work was very sedentary and I always used a car. This is how I reached my current weight. I am 52 years old. I live in a constant stress however; I can share my story only personally with you. It is very hard for me to do anything about my weight. My problem is down to health issues. High blood pressure, joint pains and problems with moving and walking. I would like to contact you.
Best Regards, D.D.

Neli Dimitrova

Hello I am 20 years old and diets have never worked for me. I would like to lose at least 5 kilograms but I never manage to. Can you please tell me what kind of food I should eat and what kind of regime I should follow? Thank you in advance.

Neli Dimitrova

To lose even 5 kilograms by yourself is not an easy task in our modern life style. Diets are helpful only when the correct diet and physical regime is followed. I encourage you to carefully read the article in our website "50 ways to Lose Weight”. Try to follow strictly Chris’ advises. If there are no results in 10 days (about 2-3 kilogram) then in my opinion you need help.

The goal of our weight loss program is exactly that – to lead people back to a healthy style of life. In a place devoid of temptations among people like yourself you will definitely succeed. You can call us or another specialized weight loss center. There is nothing wrong in someone helping you if you cannot help yourself. To constantly live on diets, begrudged by the thought that you always fail even at such an easy task … is pointless.

I hope I have helped you with my answer.

Neli Dimitrova

SEVANTURS, Monday, 2008, July 14
Is the program suitable for an 8 year old child? Are there any required pre-examinations and can they be performed at Alia, especially those that have to do with the thyroid gland?

Neli Dimitrova

We can accept the kid only with a guardian present. We do not perform such examinations. You should consult a specialist and based on his professional opinion you can reach out to us. Working with kids requires a special type of program.

How can I lose weight ?

“… I use to weight 54 kg. /120 pounds, and now (a year later) I am 72kg./158pounds. I have no idea why I gained so much weight but I cannot stand being in this body anymore. It bothers me, it depresses me and makes me insecure!…”
