Personal trainer Personal Trainer for Borek Fałęcki, English-Friendly

Borek Fałęcki has one feature my clients love: from here, the studio at Zawiła 61A is a few minutes' drive with barely a traffic light on the way. If your commute home runs along Zakopiańska, training sits directly on your route, and in my experience that single fact decides whether a plan survives past the first month. Convenience beats motivation every single time.

The people who come to me from Borek and Łagiewniki usually bring one of two stories. Either they were fit years ago, football, hiking, swimming, and life buried it under work and family, or their back has started protesting after a decade of desk plus car. Both get the same method: an honest starting point, an individual plan, measurable progress, and sessions run fully in English if that is your language.

Studio: Zawiła 61A, 30-390 Kraków 5-7 minutes by car from the Zakopiańska area, practically no traffic lights on the way.

The comeback plan: personal training for Borek Fałęcki

You used to play football, swim or hike, then life did its thing: career, kids, extra kilos and a heavy breath on the second floor. I know that script by heart, and I know the biggest mistake is trying to come back using the methods that suited you at twenty.

We start with an honest diagnosis: an interview, a movement assessment, basic strength tests. Then we rebuild systematically, at a pace your body can actually absorb. The first measurable changes usually arrive within the first weeks, and more importantly, without an injury on the way.

Back pain from the desk and the windscreen

Commuting along Zakopiańska plus eight hours of sitting is a reliable recipe for a stiff lower back. Strength training, despite the common fear, is one of the best-researched responses: it strengthens the muscles that stabilise the spine and restores mobility in the hips, which sitting switches off first. Where a problem goes beyond training, I work alongside a physiotherapist.

  • 5-7 minutes by car from Zakopiańska, parking at the entrance
  • Sessions in English or Polish, right on your route home
  • A plan that respects your health history, not a generic template
  • Duo option: train with your partner in the same evening slot

Common questions: personal trainer Borek Fałęcki

Can the whole process run in English?

Yes, from the first phone call to every training cue. A number of my clients are English speakers living in southern Kraków, so nothing about it is unusual here.

How do I get to the studio from Borek Fałęcki?

Zawiła 61A is 5-7 minutes by car from the Zakopiańska and Łagiewniki area, practically without traffic lights. If you drive home from the centre, the studio is on your way, and there is parking in front of the entrance.

My back hurts. Should I train or see a physiotherapist first?

It depends on the character of the pain and what the health interview shows. Some clients train alongside physiotherapy, some start with training straight away. If your case needs diagnostics first, I will tell you plainly at the consultation.

What will it cost?

Training packages start from 640 PLN per month, and the most popular option is 2 sessions a week, around 1,280 PLN per month. Duo training costs less per person than 1:1; the free consultation is where we pick the right variant.
