Rafal Matuszewski
Personal Trainer
“Movement is medicine”. Rafal firmly believes that many people who deal with pain can improve their quality of life by simply moving. There are fundamental patterns as humans we should be able to perform. But, in today’s world that we live in, we are set up for failure. Being able to squat, crawl, climb, lunge, push, pull, and of course lifting things off the floor are all movement qualities we used to possess, but quickly lose as we age and become inactive.
Rafal trains clients from the ground up. Build the fundamentals first, then challenge the system. The last 14 years of his career, Rafal has seen clients from all walks of life. Weight loss, strength, performance, rehabilitation, you name it. All have different goals and outcomes, but all follow the same training principles for building foundational movement patterns. As a trainer obsessed with helping others who suffer from painful movement, Rafal bridges the gap between rehabilitation and performance. His ultimate goal is to have you moving and feeling better, faster so you can enjoy life and get back to activity.
When he’s not in the gym helping clients achieve goals you can find Rafal watching Disney movies on repeat with his wife and 2 year old daughter, and continuously planning their next Disney trip!
