A graduate of the Poznan University of Physical Education and a physiotherapy college, he has been a personal trainer for over 11 years. An educator and strength and conditioning coach with nearly 10 years of experience working in top-tier volleyball leagues (including PGE Skra Bełchatów and Grupa Azoty Chemik Police), he is also a member of the coaching staff of the Cyprus national team. Class II swimming coach.

A characteristic feature of his work is combining the principles of strength training with the concept of core stability, which are at the very heart of athletic training. In addition, he focuses on slow but steady progression, aimed at enhancing athletic performance while minimizing the risk of injury. He specializes in prehabilitation training before ACL reconstruction surgery, as well as in guiding return-to-sport post-op. He has been involved in sports for as long as he can remember: first volleyball, then track and field, followed by a fascination with swimming. After graduating, he left for the USA, where he got acquainted with CrossFit. Upon his return to Poland, he took up personal training.

Since 2012, he has been associated with numerous fitness clubs, delving into the intricacies of one-on-one training and taking on even the toughest, most challenging body-shaping cases. From 2014, he worked with the Szczecin volleyball team Morze Bałtyk Szczecin, overseeing the players' strength and conditioning. For him, personal training is not just gym work, but above all promoting a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition, and all forms of physical recreation that help you feel great. Combining training methods drawn from functional training, weightlifting, and CrossFit allows him to design engaging workouts that deliver the desired results.
