Frequently asked questions

When exercising individually with a trainer, you are under constant care of an experienced specialist who watches over the correct technique of the exercises, provides you with knowledge that you can use when training alone in the future and when building healthy lifestyle habits. In addition you get a solid portion of motivation!
A personal trainer is a person who has knowledge in the field of human physiology, biology, biomechanics, dietetics and sport, and in particular knows and uses scientifically tested training methods to achieve the best results in cooperation with clients. The trainer is also a motivator and support in the process of achieving individual goals.
Naturally, cooperation that includes regular individual training is a big investment and I know that not all of my clients can afford the comfort of several joint training sessions a week. I try to ensure that everyone who wants to achieve their goal and turns to me for help in this matter receives appropriate support tailored to their needs and possibilities - both time and financial. If you do not see an option for yourself in my offer, please contact me and we will definitely find a solution!
I realize that if you have had a negative personal training experience, it is more difficult to make the decision to try with another specialist. I will be happy to know the reasons for your dissatisfaction, because it will help me adapt to your needs and expectations. For my part, I can guarantee 100% commitment - your satisfaction or your money back! How does it work? Always the first consultation is non-binding and free, so this is the time when we can determine whether we are working together. If you decide to take a single training or the whole package, and after the first training you find that it was disappointing for you and you do not want to continue, I will refund you the full amount. Answering the question Will it be different for me? - I can assure you that I will give my best and leave the rest to your judgment.
There always got to be that first time! Compare it to learning to drive a car. Some train from the beginning under the guidance of an instructor. Many people start on their own, only later using the help of a specialist in a driving school. It happens that independent learning perpetuates wrong habits and hinders the further process. It's the same with training. From the very beginning, it is worth trusting a person who will make exercises safe and effective. You will not be discouraged from strength training, and such physical activity will become your new habit. To sum up, have you never been to the gym? Perfect, let's start together!
Starting or returning to physical activity after a break is definitely worth starting under the supervision of a trainer. Why? Because he will take care of your safety, appropriate selection of volume, intensity and advancement of exercises. Thanks to this, the body better and faster adapts to new stimuli. Sport is for everyone, and especially strength training, so you don't have to worry about whether you can handle it - that's my job.
As I mentioned in the fourth question, the most important thing for me is your satisfaction with the training. All of my clients come to work with me with specific expectations, which I try to meet. If after the first proper training (when choosing a package of several trainings) you find that it does not suit you at all, I leave you the option of resigning from further cooperation without any consequences and I will refund you the money for unused trainings. However, I always encourage you to give yourself time, because most often it is only after a few workouts that the body adapts properly, and you can realistically assess whether this is an activity for you.
On the contrary! Strength training is a great complement to other activities. My task is to arrange a training plan in such a way that it not only does not interfere with your other sports passion, but also leads to better results and protects against injuries. When practicing a particular sport, some muscle parts are often neglected. Training in the gym is a great opportunity to build a better structural balance, i.e. to maintain the right proportions of strength and muscle mass between individual body segments.
Training as a way to recover from injuries and prevent further ones is very close to me, because I myself have had two knee surgeries, including one reconstruction of the joint. I am well aware of the seriousness of such limitations and in my workshop I pay a lot of attention to the health-promoting aspect of training. During the first meeting, I conduct a thorough health interview, during which we talk about injuries or other limitations. If only my competences will allow me to help you solve your health problems, I guarantee that I will do my best. However, if I decide that it goes beyond the scope of my knowledge and experience, I will refer you to other specialists whom I trust and who will be able to take care of you professionally.
Definitely! Gender plays no role here. Considering the figure aspects, there is no better way to get the desired results. Naturally, depending on priorities, different methods will be used, but both women and men should train to increase strength. The benefits of strength training include high energy expenditure, i.e. more calories burned in a training unit, increased muscle strength, strengthening bones and joints, stress reduction, a positive effect on the cardiovascular system and increasing the level of serotonin, the happiness hormone.
Of course! If you have been training before and there are no gynecological contraindications, further such activity is still recommended, but it requires adaptation to the woman's body changing from week to week during this particular period. If you have never trained in the gym or it was an occasional activity, you should be even more careful. At the moment, not having the appropriate qualifications, I do not conduct classes with pregnant women, but I will gladly refer you to a trusted specialist who will take care of you during this demanding time.
Whatever it sounds like - it depends. The training effects will be influenced by your lifestyle: the amount of sleep, diet, stress level, type of work performed, alcohol consumption, regeneration possibilities. You will achieve completely different results by training once a week than four times a week. You should consider what effect and at what pace you want to achieve and how much free time, money and effort you can devote. From the beginning of our cooperation, I will try to make you aware of what and to what extent is realistic to achieve, and I will show you the optimal way to achieve your goal.
No, it is not necessary. Of course, the use of an appropriate nutritional model is crucial for achieving the desired results, especially in terms of body shape, but in no case does it prevent you from exercising regularly. I always encourage you to pay attention to what you eat and I educate my clients in this area. The main issue is your priorities and eating habits. In many cases, you do not need to follow specific diets at all, but there are situations, such as weight reduction or weight gain, where the implementation of new recommendations is necessary to achieve the goal.
No, being overweight is not a contraindication. This type of activity allows for full individualization of exercises, thanks to which we can relieve the joints and safely undertake high effort without the risk of injury. Being overweight is a contraindication to running - it is the shortest way to serious injuries. If you face such a problem, then strength training combined with the right model of nutrition will be the perfect solution for you.
No, because I'm not a nutritionist. I specialize in strength and functional training, but I do not go beyond the scope of my competence. If you are looking for support in the field of nutrition, I will be happy to recommend you trusted specialists. Healthy eating is a topic very close to me, I will be happy to give helpful advice and pass on basic knowledge, but in order to arrange a professional diet, I always refer to a dietician.
Definitely no! Everyone is cordially invited!
