Michał
Skarbek

For a decade I've been testing on the gym floor what I learned during my master's degree. I combine scientific knowledge with what hands-on work with real bodies has taught me.

I won't lie to you: you don't change your body in two weeks and no plan gets around that. Your body adapts to a stimulus you repeat for weeks. So instead of a promise of quick results, you get a plan from me built on physiology and habits that stay with you after we finish working together.

My work philosophy:

  • Stimulus, not exhaustion. Training should give your body as much stimulus as it has time to recover from. When the load is too big, recovery can't keep up and instead of progress you get stagnation or an injury. That's why I set the weight, sets and tempo to your current stage and raise them as your fitness grows.
  • You bring the commitment, I bring the knowledge. From you I need consistency and the willingness to work. The rest is on me: I read the research and go to courses so that the training matches current knowledge. You don't have to worry about anything, you just focus on training.
  • Independence. In every session I explain what we are doing and why. Over time you'll start to understand your body and look after it without a trainer looking over your shoulder.
  • No pressure. It doesn't matter whether you are walking into a gym for the first time or coming back after years off: pressure won't help you learn. That's why I build an atmosphere where you feel confident and the gym becomes a place you want to come back to.

Let's do this if:

  • You want to train to a plan, because random exercises from the internet give random results.
  • You care about habits that stay with you after we finish working together.
  • You want someone by your side who will guide you at every stage, whether you have been training for years or you are only just starting.
  • You have a specific goal (physique, performance or health) and you want to be sure your work is leading you to it.

The perfect trainer for beginners and advanced alike, with huge knowledge, experience and an individual approach, which I know from experience are rare and thanks to which I managed to deal with every injury. Committed and with the patience of a saint, I recommend training with Michał to everyone!

I highly recommend training with Michał! Thanks to him I made big progress over 8 months and today I feel much more confident in the gym. Michał looks after technique and safety and he has knowledge of physiotherapy, which was very important to me. Great atmosphere, great approach!

The best trainer you could pick! I came in with a spine problem and didn't know how to train with it, Michał dug into the subject and really got involved. A professional and at the same time relaxed approach, and I really did notice results after a short time.

I have been working with Michał for two years now. From the very beginning he showed an individual approach, adapting the training to my needs. Michał kept things varied: safe progression and a focus on technique. I highly recommend!
