About

I started with
one repetition too.

I’m Mihály Bence. Training helped me believe I could do something that once felt impossible. Today, I want to help others experience that feeling.

My story

2017 My training began that September. 2025 The year I started coaching.

I started training at twelve. I had no coach, plan or gym membership, just a few metal bars and a lot of attempts. Things often didn’t work out. When that happened, I read more, changed something and tried again.

As a child, I was afraid of pull-ups. I’d worry for weeks before the school fitness assessment: I was the weakest, and I was bullied for it. When I finally managed one, it meant much more than completing an exercise. For the first time, I truly felt I could change something I’d thought was fixed. I still remember that feeling. As a coach, I work to help others have a moment like that.

For years, I taught myself through research, experiments, mistakes and fresh starts. In 2025, I qualified as a fitness instructor and personal trainer, adding formal training to what I’d learned through experience. In 2026, I also completed the IWI MES Trainer course, developing my knowledge of supporting exercise in rehabilitation and for people with specific needs.

Let’s work together

Values

What I believe in.

01

Structure

I want you to understand why you’re doing an exercise and what comes next. A plan helps you keep going when motivation is low.

02

Personalised

I ask how you are, how much time you have and what you’re finding difficult. These are part of planning your training.

03

Honest communication

I’ll tell you what I see, and I want you to tell me if something is unclear or doesn’t feel right. Good coaching needs feedback in both directions.

04

Always learning

My own training, courses and reading keep bringing up new questions. I enjoy looking into things I don’t yet understand well enough.
