I’m someone who always found an excuse to skip PE, then as an adult went through phases of putting off joining a gym and then always sacking it off once the trial memberships expired. Then I met Marcin, and I’ve now been training with him for about 8 years, and since they formed Perun Strength together, I’ve been training with Vik for about a year, too. I could not imagine working with anyone else, in any other gym.Marcin and Vik have worked incredibly hard to build a gym and training programme that not only produces fantastic results, but fosters a culture of mutual support, honesty and fun. It’s always a joy to meet new members and I’ve never left a session feeling anything less than a sense of accomplishment.Both Marcin and Vik have a wide knowledge base of stretches and exercises and keen eyes for form and technique, so any difficulties completing an activity are soon overcome. Their shared knowledge of nutrition has been invaluable with my own health difficulties, and their genuine desire to see me succeed has helped immensely in keeping me on track to a healthier lifestyle, physically and mentally. I assure you, there is no hyperbole when I say working with these two has probably saved my life.
I’ve been a member for about a month, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far. The environment is incredibly welcoming, with athletes at every level—from those completely new to strength training to total badasses. As someone who just moved to the area, I’ve felt so welcomed!I’ve been strength training for about six years, and I’m impressed that every class challenges me to improve. I learn something new every time, techniques stuff, nutrition stuff, recovery stuff, mobility stuff. always something. The trainers (Marcin and Vik) are not only knowledgeable but also fun, kind, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve. The community as a whole is equally supportive and inspiring.What stands out most to me is the emphasis on technique. It’s not just about completing the movements—it’s about doing them as well as you possibly can, which makes all the difference in the long run (especially for preventing injury). Moving here from a bigger city, I was a little unsure about what to expect, but the quality of training absolutely rivals (if not exceeds) the fancy gyms I’ve attended before.While it’s not a small investment, the value is 100% there. If you’re serious about getting stronger, becoming more confident, and honing your skills in strength training, this is the gym for you. I’m so glad I found it!
I joined Perun in July 2024, and have experienced such a change in myself and my strength since then. One of my goals was to be able to do a full push up, and I can now do 10! I love leaving sessions feeling a sense of achievement and empowerment from being able to move/pick up/drag heavy things around. I also really enjoy the newly added conditioning sessions which are a heart rate raiser to get the endorphins going! Marcin and Vik offer unparalleled support in a small group setting, meaning you can make incredible progress in a safe, comfortable way. 3 sessions a week, plus the conditioning sessions and nutrition support etc is excellent value for money.
Love this gym. I wasted so much money on other major gyms just paying monthly fee and doing nothing. Both Marcin and Vik give us motivations and help we all needed. 3months on, I’m fitter and happier. Thank you!!
Perun strength is a great little gym. Just right for everything you need. Both marcin and vik have helped me so much but especially vik. I suffer so bad with anxiety but she has really helped me. Learning how to train properly and feeling stronger.
By far the most welcoming gym I've ever been to. Support from Marcin and Vik is incredible. I'd previously struggled with getting motivation to go regularly to any previous gyms, but the set up and support means I've gone regularly since joining and I really feel the benefit, stronger and healthier than ever. It's an amazing community that they've built and I couldn't recommend them more.
Perun Strength is the real deal! Marcin and Vik are both super knowledgeable, encouraging and supportive, creating such a welcoming and enjoyable environment that really helped me overcome my gym anxiety. I never thought weight training was something I’d be able to do, but was soon proven v wrong by how quickly I felt the benefit and saw progress.Can’t recommend it enough, particularly for people, like me, who are both clueless and nervous about exercise and training! Five-star people, five-star place.
Since joining Perun, I’ve never felt better, both physically and mentally.The atmosphere is welcoming, with supportive personal trainers and members who create an encouraging environment. The trainers are highly knowledgeable, offering expert guidance tailored to individual needs, ensuring steady progress and growth.I highly recommend Perun to anyone looking to improve their well-being.
Lovely environment with amazing guidance from Marcin and Vik, plus great support from the other clients. They’ve really been able to help me achieve my goals and it’s actually a lot of fun to lift heavy stuff. 100% recommended.
Perun Strength is one the coolest things I’ve ever been a part of.The program is effective, incredibly accessible and ultimately sustainable alongside a busy life. It is by far the most inviting, diverse and friendly gym I’ve been to.You’ll push yourself from strength to strength with a confidence that comes from within: from being taught proper form and being endlessly coached on it, from consistency, from gradually building up weight and repetitions.The app makes it effortless to schedule and reschedule sessions and track your progress in each workout.Marcin and Vik should be incredibly proud of what they have built.
Friendly, warm, welcoming! I’d never stepped foot in a gym before in my life but Marcin and Vick immediately made me feel comfortable. And Marcin is a fount of knowledge when it comes to anything to do with exercise, which he shares with great enthusiasm. I’ve also been benefiting from his expertise in nutrition—his advice is sensible and grounded in research. I’d very much recommend Perun Strength to anyone who would like to get or keep fit but doesn’t like or doesn’t like the idea of the usual gym environment.
Before joining Perun Strength I had never set foot in a gym, I felt that weight training wasn't accessible, and I was the weakest I had ever been. Joining this gym turned out to be the best thing I did last year, and has given me so much confidence in my physical ability. Marcin and Vik are incredibly knowledgeable in both strength training and nutrition, as well as being genuinely lovely human beings! Marcin has created such a welcoming and supportive atmosphere and I honestly couldn't ask for a better experience.
Great training and a great community which is friendly, inclusive and welcoming.
I've been with Marcin just over 6 months now and I honestly couldn't speak more highly of him and the gym. He cares SO much about each of his clients and tailors his advice to you no matter what your need. He is approachable and has a vast amount of knowledge on nutrition as well as weight training. As someone who would never have gone to a conventional gym for fear of being stared at, here I feel like an individual being catered for not just another gym number. Being in a small group setting of up to six makes it a pleasure to attend the gym, I've even made friends here which I never expected. If you've ever been scared of the gym and lost in the woods on weight loss, go see Marcin and Vik at Perun Strength you absolutely won't regret it!
Highly recommended, friendly and professional gym. Lovely people. Marcin is a great trainer.
I can highly recommend Marcin at Perun strength. I've learnt so much from him and also Vik. I've gone from being intimidated about using weights to loving lifting weights. I love the program and progress I've seen in such a short time being a member. Marcin will always adapt exercises I can't do because of my limitations and that makes me feel extremely supported on my journey to being fitter and healthier whilst I go through the menopause.
Cannot rate Marcin enough, from the moment I stepped foot in the gym I felt instantly at ease! From a beginner gym goer I wanted somewhere nice and quiet and that felt like a family rather than your commercial typical gym! Marcin is very good at motivating everyone that walks through his doors and I actually look forward to my gym sessions! I absolutely won't be going anywhere else! So happy with the progress I've been making from his professional training.
I can't recommend Marcin enough. I'd been so intimidated by weights before training with him and now I've tripled the amount I can squat. So friendly and supportive, and really helped me with my PCOS, which isn't something you can say often!
I have been training with Marcin at Perun Strength for a few months now and I am so glad I found him! He is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced trainer who is helping me achieve my fitness goals in a safe and effective way. He is also very encouraging and supportive, which has made a big difference in my motivation. The gym itself is clean and well-equipped, and the atmosphere is super friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend Perun Strength to anyone looking for a great personal trainer.
I am so grateful to have found this small group gym session led by Marcin. As someone who was hesitant to join larger gyms due to the fear of standing out, this gym has been a game-changer for me.Marcin's guidance has not only helped me overcome my initial fears but has also been instrumental in building my confidence in both exercise and diet. His personalized approach caters to individuals at all fitness levels, making it an excellent choice for beginners like me, as well as experienced individuals looking to refine their workout routines.One of the standout features of this group is the flexibility it offers in scheduling sessions throughout the week. This has made it incredibly convenient to incorporate regular exercise into my routine without feeling overwhelmed.The small group setting, capped at 6 people, creates a comfortable and supportive environment. I never feel lost in the crowd, and there's always an opportunity to receive personalized assistance during workouts.Overall, I highly recommend this small group gym session to anyone looking to embark on their fitness journey or enhance their current workout routine. Marcin's expertise and the welcoming atmosphere make it a standout choice in the world of fitness.
As someone that wouldn't consider themselves a 'gym-person', the workout space and the other members in the programme really create a welcoming exercise environment. Marcin is very supportive and insightful, and the programme keeps you interested across the week. Perun Strength really helped me regain my love for my own health and fitness - I would recommend it to everyone!
Ive had an excellent time training with Marcin and through his support have made it a very regular and looked forward to part of my life. He goes above and beyond in providing realistic advice and challenge - Ive been more comfortable working out with Marcin than I thought Id ever be with a PT. If you’re considering a PT, definitely send him and message - you wont regret it!
Marcin has helped taught me better than any senior physio I have encountered during the 3 years with my back injury. He is extremely expert, careful, knowledgeable, encouraging, patient and friendly. He focused carefully on what I was able to manage so as not to risk any further problems. I think he is an exceptional trainer .
Marcin is a fantastic Personal Trainer, I wish I could give him six stars. His holistic approach to training has really helped me with my mental and physical health since starting with him in October. My strength, flexibility and health have improved considerably and I've achieved a weight that I am happy with in a safe way. If you're looking for a friendly, personable trainer who will help you create sustainable, healthy habits look no further!
Marcin is a great PT! I would encourage anyone, at any experience level to train with him. He will help you with training as well as advise on diet and eating habits. You get out what you put in but with effort and Marcin by your side you can't go wrong. I've never felt better and just wish I had started doing this years ago!
I’ve been training with Marcin remotely for the last 5 months, and I’m so happy with the progress that I’ve made. I’m a person who prefers to train alone at home, but initially I was worried about having a trainer ‘online’ as I wasn’t sure it would work. I needn’t have worried, the support and knowledge that I’ve gained from Marcin working through his app has been incredible and I know that I can ask questions or get help just as easily as in person in the gym. I feel so much more confident in my training, and he pushes me just exactly the right amount to keep me motivated and challenged. The physical changes I’ve made in this short time of working with him have far surpassed the previous whole year of working out alone, and I’m so excited to keep making progress. Working with Marcin has been the best choice I’ve ever made for my strength and both physical and mental health. I seriously recommend getting in touch with him if you’re looking to change your whole outlook on exercise and to learn how enjoyable it can be.
