Perun Strength

Fantastic experience: I've been to 3 sessions with these guys and it's already changed by life. At 43, my aches and pains were starting to accumulate; office worker's lower back, bad sleeper's shoulder, lazy man's knees. Vick and Marcin have sorted me right out. Love it!

Fantastic experience: Great space and a lovely team. I have been coming here for a few months now and do not regret it one bit! Everyone is is super friendly and the trainers are so supportive

Fantastic experience: Always used Marcin as my PT nobody else comes close to being as informed and passionate. If something isnt working for you he goes out of his way to do the research and find something that will. He's the only PT I've been at my strongest with and even now years later in a different stage of life and business im able to keep up my fitness with his online motivation and the way he never makes me feel bad for when im having bad days. Always be my go too for anything health and fitness, especially with women's topics hes very well informed and educated.

Fantastic experience: Vik and Marcin are incredibly knowledgeable and really take the time to explain the exercises and answer any questions you might have. I initially signed up to work on my form and stay injury-free, and these guys are absolutely the best at ensuring that. They focus on each individual’s needs, which has made a huge difference in my progress and confidence. What’s even newer for me is that I actually look forward to my workouts! The atmosphere they’ve created is both supportive and motivating. I leave every session feeling better than when I came in. I’m already feeling stronger, and I’m excited to continue seeing progress. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for expert guidance, a personal touch, and a positive experience! Thank you, guys!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Welcoming and supportive gym.

Fantastic experience: 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.

It's an amazing community that they've built and I couldn't recommend them more.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Amazing programme of strengthening which is something I needed help and guidance with. I’d never imagined I’d be doing squats and I’d never even heard of reverse nordics! So it’s been great

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Great training and a great community which is friendly, inclusive and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Perun Strength is one of the most friendly and welcoming gyms I have been to. Marcin and Vik are incredibly knowledgable and take the time to ensure you understand the exercises and your form is correct. They have an excellent app which really helps me to stay focused when I’m travelling and keep up my progress. Having small group classes and a mix of ages / abilities leads to some great conversations and laughs during sessions.

Fantastic experience: 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. I should add the soundtrack is alright, not enough Betty Boo though.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended, friendly and professional gym. Lovely people. Marcin is a great trainer.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend training with Perun Strength enough. His knowledge is spot on, especially with nutrition and weight loss. My confidence has improved massively since training here and I am now able to do so many different exercises safely. The gym is always spotless and has a great range of equipment.

Fantastic experience: I've got so much stronger already and I've only been going to classes for a couple of months. The group workouts are a lot of fun and Marcin is an excellent instructor.

Fantastic experience: Have been training at Perun Strength since it opened earlier this year. I'm so pleased that I joined. The classes are small and tailored, with Marcin taking a holistic approach to building strength and overall health. The exercises are well explained with ongoing feedback on improving your technique (and exercises adapted as needed). Classes build up on each other and weight progression is easily tracked via an app (i've never tracked before and it's been so motivating to see the incremental weekly improvements). The gym is a really nice environment: the musics good, the people are lovely, conversations are always entertaining , and (for my fellow nerds) there's a cool little library shelf and lots of plants! Overall there's just a really good vibe. Every week I feel I grow a better understanding and appreciation of what makes effective and safe strength training, I also see myself progress a little further in terms of the stats on the app, and most importantly I look forward to going!

Fantastic experience: I throughly recommend Perun Strength. I have had an incredible experience with Marcin. His knowledge is second to none and he has created an environment that is welcoming and friendly. Thanks to their guidance, my overall strength and mobility have greatly improved and I no longer suffer from persistent back problems. I even made some great friends along the way.

Fantastic experience: Marcin is great at his job.

Fantastic experience: I've had an excellent time training with Marcin, who has supported me through my weight training journey. It is now a regular part of my weekly routine. I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I went to Perun Strength with the goals of losing some weight, increasing my strength and improving my flexibility. I'm happy to say that I'm achieving all 3 and would highly recommend it for anyone looking improve their quality of life. Perun Strength also provides nutritional guidance, which helps if your goals are building muscle, losing weight or anything else where nutrition plays an important role.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t speak higher of Marcin if I tried! Excellent level of training. No BS. A seemingly encyclopaedic knowledge of everything fitness and nutrition, so you’ll always get an answer for any question you may have. Also incredibly attentive, you’ll only ever work within your abilities. If you’re looking for a PT there’s no need to look any further.

Fantastic experience: Marcin will support you to your fullest confidence!Extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. Best nutritional advice I’ve ever received. Can’t recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Marcin was very helpful; approachable, casual (in a warm way) but also professional, he put time into seeing what my specific requirements where and how to help me learn how to meet them. So now I feel better equipped to independently progress towards the direction I want to! Also he was very helpful and patient with my various questions and anxieties, would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Would Highly recommend! If you are either a new or a returning gym goer, I would recommend Perun strength. Spent the best part of a year training at Perun Strength with my partner. Marcin identified very quickly the weaker parts of our bodies and greatly improved our all round mobility and strength.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out here for a few weeks now and am really impressed with the experience. Marcin's energy, enthusiasm and sheer knowledge has meant that am already feeling the benefits of the training and (very unusually for me) actually find myself looking forward to the next session.

Fantastic experience: 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 .

Fantastic experience: With the initial intention to lose weight and improve my fitness levels, I started training with Marcin. 18 months later and although I am fitter and stronger than I have been in many years after some health issues, I have no intention to stop! Marcin is personable, honest and creates a friendly, fun environment to train in. I look forward to my sessions rather than dread them and as someone who hated the gym, I found it was exactly what I needed to commit. Thoroughly recommend Perun Strength, no matter what your goals!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: An amazing teacher! I had a month of training where I learned a lot.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out off & on for the past 10yrs and came to the conclusion that I'd hit my peak and my body simply wasn't capable of progressing further... until I met Marcin! With his guidance & expertise, I was shocked by how quickly I skyrocketed passed my previous PBs and am continuing to create new milestones each week after only 3months training together. With his very obvious passion for fitness and incredibly in-depth knowledge, I would highly recommend Marcin to anyone else who is/was in a similar position and for anyone still on the fence that needs a little push or is lacking in confidence, I hope this review helps as the others did for me. Best decision I've made in awhile

Fantastic experience: Marcin is an excellent personal trainer. His clear and no-fuss approach has helped me go from never setting foot in a gym to wanting to go and workout! He gives you the knowledge to be able to workout by yourself but his sessions are so fun and challenging that you'll want to keep training with him!! I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get stronger and fitter, regardless of prior gym experience (and also for anyone who is a regular gym goer and wants to improve their technique). He has a flexible and realistic approach which has helped my mentality when it comes to working out and he has shown me that it is possible to get stronger

Fantastic experience: Really recommend training with Marcin if you want to build confidence and learn from someone who actually knows what they're talking about! His advice about nutrition and actually applying it to real life situations has helped me enormously. I've also never felt stronger and more in control of exercise and eating habits! He trains you so you can train yourself, and that's what I've loved about the sessions, learnt so much!

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Marcin for the past 3 months now and I'm so impressed with my progress! Before I started training with Marcin, I had lot of misconceptions about food, fitness and health, as well as my own abilities. He has debunked a lot of myths for me and helped me integrate good habits into my lifestyle. Marcin has shown me by using simple, efficient, yet effective methods that I can absolutely achieve my goals. He has helped me get out of the complete rut I was stuck in, and my confidence has shot up - for that I am truly grateful. He works unbelievably hard to ensure he delivers top class and professional training, plus he will also let you listen to whatever music you like while you train ;) So worth it and thoroughly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Before I started working with Marcin I was trying all kinds of different things to try and get some regular exercise into my life and nothing was sticking. Now I actively look forward to working out several times a week, I'm getting stronger and losing weight. Marcin really knows his stuff, he found what worked for me and my goals and did it in a way that I could stick with. He's changed my whole attitude towards exercise and it's great.

Fantastic experience: As someone new to PT sessions Marcin has given me huge confidence. He took the time to understand my goals (and injuries!) and worked with me to assist. Hugely motivating and supportive. I now have far more confidence walking into a gym alone with a workout designed for me, rather than walking around machines without a plan.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Marcin from past 8 months. It has been a wonderful journey for me:). I had never been to gym before and I was nervous. But Marcin filled me with confidence from the first session and motivated me in every step. He focuses on proper form and techniques. He listens carefully and pays close attention to your personal needs and goals. I am a young mother who had back pain issue. By his training , now I am lifting weights equivalent to my body weight easily without any pain. I am very happy with the training I received from him. I would highly recommend Marcin as a personal trainer to those who want achieve their health and fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Best PT I've ever worked with, even corrected errors taught to me by other PT's that I've been doing for 18 years. My progress has been phenomenal with his help.

Fantastic experience: Marcin is a fantastic PT: incredibly knowledgeable and motivating, but also a great listener and highly considerate of your needs. I would recommend him to anyone who is considering personal training. After working with Marcin for approximately six months, I have gained a great deal of strength, and also confidence. Before training with Marcin, I was always injury-prone, but thanks to a marked improvement in my overall strength and conditioning, I feel far more comfortable in my ability to train without getting injured.

Fantastic experience: Marcin has helped me tremendously get out of lockdown and back into the gym; and now in a far better position than I was before lockdown! I am pleasantly surprised and impressed at how much and how quickly I learnt what I needed to know to start my weight training journey. Doesn't over complicate things and has a wealth of knowledge. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was super nervous about going, but Marcin's wealth of knowledge, fun personality and infectious energy helped me achieve far more than I anticipated! He gets to know your strengths and weaknesses very quickly, and adjusts your workout accordingly. Marcin pushes you as far as you want to be pushed, making him an ideal PT for seasoned trainers and beginners alike. Go and see him, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I went from someone who was continuously putting off exercise and struggling to maintain fitness to someone who exercises at least 3 times a week. All because of Marcin and what he has taught me.

Fantastic experience: Changed my whole attitude to health and fitness; changed my life for the better.

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Marcin for the last three years (maybe more!) and I can say with all honesty that it is by far the best PT experience I've ever had. In fact he his the only PT I have ever trained with long term. If you are prepared to take responsibility for yourself then there is no way you won't get result with Marcin. He teaches you the whys and the whats, I am full of confidence walking in to any gym because I feel strong, well practised and have the correct knowledge. On our first session he told us that his goal is to train us so we don't need him so I suppose we must just go for fun now!

Fantastic experience: Marcin is a fantastic trainer. Not only can he push you to your limit but somehow he can make it seem like a great idea. Would recommend to anyone with anyone with the simplest to most advanced fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Marcin is a fantastic Personal Trainer. I have been working with him for a while now and have been amazed by the results. Marcin is experienced, professional and great fun! He is an attentive PT, who focuses on individual needs and tailors sessions accordingly. He has completely changed my attitude towards my health and fitness. I highly recommend working with Marcin, if you are just starting out or need the experience and motivation to push you further!

Fantastic experience: Before I met Marcin, I was too terrified to go anywhere other than the treadmill at the gym. Through his training not only did I see incredible results in my health and strength, I also gained the confidence to use equipment at the gym when he’s not there. He took the time to understand my level of fitness before we started our sessions and knows the appropriate amount to push you - I always feel in safe hands! Can’t recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Before me and my partner met Marcin, we were visiting the gym but consistently falling into bad habits - we’d often over exercise and burn out, which subsequently resulted in emotional eating. Once we were in with Marcin, it was clear he was going to design us a schedule and routine that worked for us and our day to day workloads. He gave us the confidence to try new things in a safe environment and we saw results in strength almost immediately! He knows when to push you at the appropriate amount, instead of past trainers who will push you past the limit. I would highly recommend Marcin, whatever your health and fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: A World-class personal trainer! Both equally passionate and knowledgeable about personal health and fitness, whatever your goals he'll get you there.

Fantastic experience: Great trainer Gets results Pushes you but adapts to injuries or issues Fun sessions Accommodates and flexible with sessions

Fantastic experience: Marcin is an excellent personal trainer with a clear and technically comprehensive approach. Training with an attentive and experienced pt makes a big difference. Marcin took the time to analyse my movement abilities and then developed a training regime around my specific needs. Within a short time I noticed a huge improvement. Highly recommend working with him.

Fantastic experience: Been training with Marcin for a few months now, got to say it's been a tonne of fun, he always keeps me motivated and learnt a lot from him in my fitness journey, I've certainly improved tremendously since i started. Marcin is one of the best PTs I've ever come across and 100% guarantee working with Marcin is the best decision you've ever made, i know it was for me!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Marcin in 2018 when I was 58. I have really enjoyed his sessions. He is knowledgeable, great fun and has already delivered the results that I wanted to achieve. I recommend Marcin to anyone looking to improve their fitness.

Fantastic experience: I've had a really good experience training with Marcin long-term. He has been supportive and motivating. I recommend for people only getting into fitness looking for to start from the basics as well as advanced who want to take it up professionally :)
