Hi Coach, I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you – for everything you have done. You probably don’t get enough thanks so here is mine. Your program has really changed my life in such a positive way, and you have stuck with it (and us die-hards) through thick and thin. Where I am, compared to where I was, is amazing to look back on. I am getting fit, feeling confident and positive – all down to you.
So, there I have said it! Sincerely,
Kevin Keohane
When I began training with Bronek I already had 15 years of gym work under my belt. My own training had taken me to 98kg, a 39inch waist and legs like sticks. I was pretty strong – I used to bench press 190kg unequipped and could do a set of one-arm chin-ups. And yet I could hardly make it up four flights of stairs without stopping for breath.
I found training with Bronek really hard to begin with and used to curse the weird and wonderful exercises he prescribed for me. However, when I got them right, they generated unbelievably good results. Within four months my bodyweight had dropped to 80kg, my waist shrank to 32in, and I was astounded to find that I was so much stronger than when I’d been almost 20kg heavier. Now I can do a ten-minute intensive warm-up with a grin on my face and huffing and puffing during a brisk stroll is a thing of the past. I can definitely say that training according to the “Bronek principle” is well worth it!

Once you train with Bronek, you cannot go back (to your run-of-the-mill exercise routines).
Training with Bronek is hard, you’ll sweat a lot, you’ll grunt a lot. BUT it is absolutely rewarding, and FUN!
He not only trains you to make sure you have the correct and proper forms and movements (he is super strict with forms and movements), he also makes you feel confident about your ability and strength.
Well, I got stronger, much stronger, faster and much more agile. I also got trimmer and more muscular. I am glad I trained with Bronek. He had me do things I would never thought I could.

Bronek is a person who really knows what he’s talking about. Yes, I had to put in lot of hard work but the benefits outweighed everything. I’m certain I wouldn’t have been able to achieve what I achieved without Bronek:
a) My weight went from 70kg down to 50kg
b) My marathon time went from 5h45min to 3h26min
c) I competed in Les Foulees de la Soie (a stage run in China in 2001), the Marathon des Sables (known as the toughest foot race in the world) in the Sahara in Morocco, the Ice Marathon in Omsk, Russia, in 2003, and various other marathons and stage runs in Europe.
Bronek’s sessions are GREAT! It’s so good to go to outside and do a workout in the fresh air rather than the gym. They’re also fun, and a fantastic way to meet people.
Margo
No jargon just hard work and results. Once I started with Bronek I started seeing results straight away. I was seeing gains around my whole body, I was getting leaner and more body confident.
My Olympic lifts had doubled, my body fat reduced drastically and I felt stronger generally.

All testimonials that you read online highly praise whoever or whatever and perhaps leave you feeling with some doubt over how good the product/service really is. I’m only speaking the truth here and this is that Bronek’s classes really do deliver results.
I got bored of the gym and I sought out a better class of exercise and this is really it.
If you’re willing to at least turn up and put the effort in, Bronek will guide, coach, encourage, drag you by the heels if necessary (not literally!) towards true success.
This is done through tracking your progress, benchmarking your results and offering expert dietary advice (all included in the package). In the last 5-6 months my stamina has vastly improved and I can now lift weights 60% heavier than when I started. I have seen a real positive change in how I look, how I feel and how much energy I have.
Living a busy life, building a career etc, I love how I don’t need to plan my workouts either.
Sign-up for Bronek. It’ll bring about the step change you need in your fitness goals, whatever level you are at.

I had been plagued with weight issues since adolescence. I am now delighted to say I am lighter than I have been for 30 years; I feel I have found a comfortable tool with which to manage my weight.
Bonek’s sessions are always interesting, varied and enjoyable, important in maintaining commitment to training – as well as being physically beneficial.
Bronek’s approach is safe, considered and informed, and comes from a wealth of study, thought and experience, working with people at all sorts of different levels.
I would add that when I reflect back on my own childhood, adolescence and young adult life Bronek’s approach would have made a tremendous difference to my development and confidence. I have always liked physical activities, and I would have welcomed this level of dedicated input and challenge. It is topical that we may be facing a burgeoning public health crisis with the increasing obesity rate in children. As someone who has worked in the NHS in visual health, child development, and also screening in primary care, I would suggest that schools consider adopting ‘The Bronek Method’.
Bronek most certainly reaches the parts other health professionals don’t reach!’

I was referred to Bronek three years ago by my physio who’d told me that many of the running injuries I was suffering from were due to my joints not being able to carry the excess weight I’d put on. Bronek totally revolutionised my gym sessions and the results were incredible.
Whereas before I hardly broke a sweat in the gym, I now emerge looking as if I’ve been swimming! Bronek’s mantra is ‘I WANT RESULTS’, and by following a fairly low-carb diet, running for 30 minutes three times a week and doing his programmes two to three times a week I was able to lose an astonishing 2st 7lb in just over two months! Bronek’s approach to fitness is cutting edge – I work on a health and fitness magazine and so thought I knew a thing or two about exercise, but even now I find myself reading about ‘new’ exercises in newspapers and magazine that he told me about three years ago.
I look forward to every session with Bronek as he’s just so dedicated and encouraging but also so much fun – I never fail to spend at least 50% of our time together laughing (the rest of the time I spend gritting my teeth)! If you want someone on your side who’s committed 110% to making your health and fitness goals a reality, Bronek’s the perfect personal trainer for you.

Bronek provided me with a top class training / strength program, nutritional guidance and training schedules to increase strength yet drop a substantial amount of kg to make a target fighting weight. His knowledge and inspiration he set are beyond words. He motivated me extremely well and consequently I achieved my goals and target weight for competition. Thanks Bronek.
Daniel Farrell, Recruitment Manager at Dimension Data
I met Bronek in the summer of 1998 and he’s been the most helpful, patient and knowledgeable coach you could ever meet. Although he remains a ‘no nonsense’ coach, he also has a wonderful sense of humour, which helped to get me through his frequently gruelling training sessions. Bronek’s passionate about helping all of his clients to achieve their goals and you know he’s always there for you.

I just wanted to say thanks again so much for training me over the past couple of months – it has really opened my eyes to the benefits of weights and the gym in general and you’ve been a fabulous teacher. I have also never got such good results before from exercise and eating well and am determined to stick to my new three-day-a-week routine and I really do enjoy it and feel better in myself, too, which is great.
Hattie
1 September 2006: weight: 104kg; blood pressure: 142/94; maximum continuous jog: 1 minute 12 seconds
18 December 2006: weight: 86kg; blood pressure: 110/72: maximum continuous jog: 60+ minutes
I guess the above says a lot. I started training with Bronek because I wanted to see my children grow up.
His continuous support, encouragement, advice and friendliness helped a great deal. I admit that at times in the gym it was difficult not to hate him – but the bottom line is that he makes the pain worthwhile and knows exactly what he’s doing. Bronek always comes up with different exercises to keep it interesting – and best of all he doesn’t like the cardio machines! He has the ability to push you to your limits but also knows when to back off. In short, I’d recommend Bronek to anyone who wants to change themselves for the better.
Kanat
1) Anyone following Bronek’s regime exactly has 100% results.
2) I’ve never seen more rapid health and bodyshape changes with anyone else.
3) Age, injuries or disabilities are no problem – Bronek can always work around these.
4) His clients can lose a substantial amount of weight – even while still eating chocolate!
5) He’s not only participated in many different sports at a high level but also has the academic knowledge to back everything up. Bronek never stops studying and learning.
6) His programmes are always interesting – every session is scientifically worked out and gives fast results while being fun at the same time.
7) Due to his extensive knowledge one can train with him for years without repeating any sessions – his repertoire is endless!
Leslie Watson, Physiotherapist
I was referred to Bronek by my physiotherapist who, after 30 years in the business, recommended Bronek, as the best trainer across the board he had ever encountered. I needed to shatter my own glass ceilings and I was looking to be pushed and stretched, for something challenging and not repetitive and Bronek sure delivered on it and then added more. I now feel much more powerful, physically balanced and, importantly, confident to tackle physical challenges.
Will
I was always athletic into my 30s, then time seemed scarce and I let it drift away. Bronek changed all that – I am now fitter than I have ever been and feel great. If you are dubious of gyms and have tried other approaches to fitness, trust me: Bronek’s approach works and delivers amazing results. He always keeps you challenged, on the edge of your capabilities, which means to improve constantly. Much more, he’s created a tight-knit group that has become a great circle of friends (when we can catch our breath to speak to one another).
Kevin
Before joining the challenge and Bronek’s weight loss programme I had some doubt on the possible result. I did a lot of dieting for the past 2 years and none of them really worked.
However, already after the 1st week of training, I was impress!
With Bronek’s advice and exercises I managed to lose 9.5 kg (nearly 1.5 stone) during 8 short weeks, which was above my expectation.
I can’t thank him enough for what he did!
Amandine
Bronek’s fitness programme was undoubtedly the most demanding I had ever attended in London. It was also the most encouraging and personal. I used to prefer training in the evening, leisurely but purposefully. I ended up coming for the 7 am sessions every session and asking for more!
The results flowed in: stronger back, higher stamina, more flexibility, happier moods…and yes I lost weight. Early exercise + controlled diet = success. Others talk about it, Bronek made it happen for me.
I never thought I could lose weight, but I did. I never thought I could get up at 6 am to do sport, and I did. Somehow the day always felt lighter and brighter after morning exercise. Does early morning exercise put a smile on your face? Well, it does to me now!
The sessions were great fun, diverse, effective. The group had both a competitive edge and a very encouraging environment. No one was allowed to lag behind: trying harder was the motto. The 1,000 burpees challenge? Yes, crazy, but we achieved it. Bring it on.
Phillipe
The first squat programme Bronek designed for me seemed totally unrealistic: each Monday I’d wonder how the hell I’d get through the next week’s plan and each Sunday, to my surprise, found I’d got through it.
Yes it was hard, but I added over 30kg on my squat in just three months, compared to 0kg in the previous year and just 20kg in the year before that.
The secret was to get the volume and intensity right. I also increased weights in other exercises, deadlifted 200kg (445lb), improved my technique and, although it was of secondary importance to me, lost fat and built more muscle.
I’m now completely convinced that almost anyone who trains correctly can achieve decent results in either weightlifting or bodybuilding. Still ‘correctly’ is the key here, so if you want to avoid losing years in trial and error or training with coaches who can hardly teach you to lift a broomstick, go with Bronek, the Polish IronMan.
Anton
I have been training with Bronek for 3 years now and having trained with various people over the last 10 years I can honestly state that he is in a different league to anyone else I have worked with in his profession. He constantly pushes you with new routines and approaches to your training to gain maximum results.
When I started training my goals were simply to increase my fitness and energy levels to a new high which we reached after only 3 months and through Bronek’s innovative training routines and constant encouragement I am fitter now at 42 than I have ever been in my life and now have to revise my goals every three months just to keep up with Bronek.
Dan Stanton, Managing Director Push UK Ltd
We call him coach. It’s not only that he is a very well organised and efficient professional, ready to improvise and focus on team’s changing needs, but his ability to inspire, encourage us keep going at the point we are ready to give up. The fact that he knows what he is talking about, giving straightforward and trustworthy answers, especially when it comes to nutrition tips.
I have been training with Bronek the last 7 months and each time seems a way to rediscover my body and its abilities. Amazing feeling!
Michail Sionis
I started working out with Bronek after the birth of my third child and I credit him completely with getting me into better shape than I was before baby number three, probably even than before baby number one. I look forward to Bronek’s sessions because they’re fun and challenging and we always do different exercises each time.
I also like training with Bronek because he listens not only to my goals, but also to my likes and dislikes, and always tries to create a programmes for me that I know I’ll stick with. I’ve worked with a number of trainers in London, but Bronek’s knowledge and enthusiasm surpasses almost all
