I have trained with Matej for about five years. During this time, I have come to know him
as a smart, friendly, patient, and thoughtful trainer who genuinely listens to his clients
and continuously seeks to improve himself. Matej puts real effort into designing the best
possible training program for each individual. Since starting his physiotherapy studies, he
has gained even more insight into coaching.
In training sessions, he pushes you to achieve the best performance you’re capable of at
that moment—not more, but also not less. He always encourages you, especially when you feel
like you didn’t do as well as you hoped. If you’re looking for a trainer whose sessions
leave you going home with sore abs (either from laughing or from core exercises—sometimes
both), but always in a better mood than when you arrived, Matej is the right choice!

I grew up in a training environment where critique was the main method of coaching, so I
tend to focus on flaws and shortcomings in everything I do. The most valuable thing I’ve
gained from Matej’s coaching is the opportunity to train under an accepting and supportive
approach—and to recognize the immense power of encouragement.
I have learned that while it’s important to face the facts and be ambitious, focusing
on strengths and positive reinforcement often leads to much greater progress than criticism
ever could. And the best part? This lesson applies not just to training, but to life as a
whole!

Matej takes care of my well-being and work capacity by coaching me in skills where my
progress has been incredible—things I never even knew I could do.
Beyond maintaining physical fitness, Matej is incredibly friendly and, perhaps without even
realizing it, contributes not only to muscle recovery but also to mental well-being!

I have been training with Matej for about 12 years. He is very people-oriented and present
in every session. Interacting with him is always rewarding. Matej takes care of the whole
person—both body and mind!
His professionalism is reflected in his genuine interest, solution-focused approach,
excellent coaching skills, encouragement, motivation, support, acceptance, and flexibility
in training times, locations, and methods.
I feel truly fortunate to have met a coach like Matej!

Since movement is essential for older individuals as well, I started going to the gym
towards the end of the last decade to maintain my mobility and quality of life. When my
first trainer moved on to other work about four years ago, he recommended Matej to me. Since
then, Matej has kept me moving during our regular sessions. We don’t just lift heavy
weights, but the focus is largely on stretching, balance exercises, and strength training
using my own body weight. Of course, every now and then we lift weights too, but in
moderation. During the sessions, we also talk about everyday matters, and often we solve
some of my IT-related problems as well. I can sincerely recommend Matej’s services to both
younger and older individuals—he is a professional, punctual coach, and a pleasant person.
