My clients' testimonials
Tymoteusz Puchacz - Plymouth Argyle
„If someone wants to become a top-level athlete, they should work with you. Our cooperation has lasted 8 years already, and every year we make progress. A strength & conditioning treasure trove of knowledge and my friend and mentor – Piotr “Gatuno” Kurek.”
Tomasz Kędziora - PAOK FC
„I've been working with Piotrek for over 8 years, and it's thanks to him that I can maintain peak physical condition without major health issues. During all this time, I’ve managed to avoid serious injuries, and each training session is precisely tailored to my current needs. The workouts not only improve my strength and explosiveness but also help me feel fresh and fully ready to compete at the highest level. His vast knowledge, individual approach, and attention to detail make me fully trust this process.”

From academy days all the way to playing at the international level, he has guided me in a thoughtful and effective way. His approach to strength & conditioning has made me a stronger, faster, and more resilient athlete. Thanks to well-tailored training, I’ve not only improved my performance but also avoided serious injuries throughout the years, which allowed me to develop without interruptions or the risk of being sidelined.”

His individual approach and precisely tailored training have made me stronger, faster, and—most importantly—injury-free. Additionally, he always ensures full transparency in communication with clubs, which is crucial in a professional collaboration. He’s a coach I can rely on in any situation.”
