Patryk Piekarczyk

 


Training Specialties: Strength, Fat Loss, Muscle Gain

Patryk has been training ever since his dad first took him to the gym as a middle-schooler. His shortcomings and failures to get stronger and add muscle pushed him to learn more about training and nutrition. As a personal trainer at multiple commercial gyms, Patryk worked with a diverse set of clients with goals ranging from weight loss, improving general health, and those struggling to gain weight. In addition to working with the general population, Patryk has experience as a strength and conditioning intern with the University of Wisconsin Madison. While interning he had the privilege to be involved in the training of women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s swim and dive, and women’s soccer. Additionally, he assisted as a strength and conditioning coach for youth athletes at a facility in Waunakee.

His passion for training led him to compete at several meets in strength sports including Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, and strongman. He recently began practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai to expand his skillset into combat sports. Patryk hopes to use his knowledge in both exercise and nutrition to provide an integrative training approach that maximizes health and performance.

Patryk’s past experience training athletes combined with his nutrition background is a great resource for his clients. He is knowledgeable about correct form and uses a nice variety of exercises for a full body workout. I enjoy discussing both topics during our training sessions. This is the first time in my life that I have used a personal trainer and it has really provided some nice variety and a new approach to my workouts!

Being totally new to going to the gym, I started looking for a trainer this summer and tried several out. Patryk was the best by far - extremely responsive, clearly knowledgeable, and fun to work with. He tailors my workouts and keeps me challenged every workout. With his guidance, I got over my nerves going to the gym and built a lot of confidence. He has helped me consistently make progress toward my goals and I always look forward to my next session.

My Strength Training regimen with Patryk is not one size fits all. Patryk has developed a plan that addresses my specific abilities, concerns and weight loss needs. He hasn't let me get complacent and can't do isn't in our vocabulary when working together. I appreciate his professionalism and skill; he seems to know instinctively what I should be working on, and what I am capable of achieving. Patryk is motivating and patient, and I'm encouraged I will soon reach my goals. Thank you, Patryk!

I have had my membership for a few years now but I have really started to utilize it a lot more often now that I am working with Patryk. His professionalism, adaptability, and knowledge are second to none. Combine that with his ability to motivate and get the most out of a session is amazing. I will recommend Patryk as well as Pinnacle to anyone as he and the facility is amazing.

I highly recommend Patryk Piekarczyk as a fitness and strength trainer. I hired Patryk to customize a strength training program for me. I was impressed with Patryk’s knowledge of biomechanics and strength training—and his emphasis on strength, particularly in one’s core and hip/upper leg muscles, as the foundation of my fitness program. His personal experience in strength training and attention to detail enabled him to perfect my technique on all the exercises he recommended. Plus, his energy and enthusiasm are infectious. Don’t hesitate to hire him as your personal trainer. —Jonathan Reed (Nov. 20, 2020)
