A little more about me and where my coaching comes from.
Since rebranding Body Bout earlier this year, I’ve realised I show plenty of my clients training on here, but not much about the experiences that shaped me as a coach.
From age 12 to 16, I trained and competed in tennis in Poland under Waldemar Zmelty, a coach who developed champions.
His standards were high. I remember practising the same movement Monday to Friday for six months until I got it right.
Losing didn’t come without consequences. If we lost a competition, or even a friendly football match at camp, an hour of running afterwards was expected 🤣
He taught me discipline, resilience and how much a good coach can influence you. Later, I sought out people I could learn from who shared those same coaching qualities, whether in Personal Training, boxing, Thai boxing or Olympic weightlifting.
Those experiences shaped the way I coach today. I pay close attention to movement and technique, and I’ll keep helping you get it right, even if it means saying “keep your hands up” a thousand times 🤣
The difference is that there’s a lot more laughing in my sessions. With my coach, it was more “Oh, for f... sake!” followed by a bit more shouting 🤣
I’m also bringing that eye for detail into fitness photography, capturing the strength, confidence and progress people have worked hard for.
I’ll be sharing more of my journey and the person behind Body Bout.
Big Thank you to ### PSR for taking this shot
