An English-speaking personal trainer in Prague
Yes, we coach in English. Every coach here speaks it, Joey is American, and about half the room is from somewhere other than the Czech Republic.
But we're not a studio where you rent an hour of someone's time and go home. You start with a coach, so nobody watches you learn. Then you train in small coached classes where the same coaches still watch every rep, plan your food with you and scan your body on the InBody to prove it's working.

To have a coach to yourself
The Founder's Program
Two private sessions a week for nine weeks with your own trainer, unlimited classes, a nutrition plan your trainer builds, a weekly InBody scan and a direct line for daily accountability. We only run it for two people at a time.
One on one forever, or a coach in a small group?
A good personal trainer is worth every crown in the first weeks, when every movement is new and you can't see what you're doing wrong. That's why every program here starts with coached sessions before you ever see a class.
After that, most people don't need someone counting their reps for an hour. They need three things: someone who fixes their technique before it turns into an injury, a plan for food they can actually follow, and a reason to show up on a Tuesday in February.
A coached class of 8 to 12 covers all three. The coach still sees your third rep go wrong. Every workout is scaled to you through the Level Method, a licensed system that tracks 15 areas of fitness in an app. And the room notices when you're missing, which is the one thing no private trainer can sell you.
| A private trainer, every session | Coached small group, the way we do it | |
|---|---|---|
| Attention | All of it, all the time | A coach watching every rep, in a class capped at 12 |
| Cost per session | The highest there is | Much lower, so you can keep going for years |
| Accountability | One person waiting for you | Fixed slots, a coach and a room that notice |
| Food | Depends on the trainer | A nutrition plan, built in |
| Proof it's working | Depends on the trainer | Regular InBody scans and the Level Method app |
| Best for | Rehab, total privacy, or the first weeks | Most people over 40 who want results that last |
What to look for in any personal trainer in Prague
The list we'd hand a friend who lives on the other side of the city.
- They assess you before they train you. Injuries, goals and real numbers like body fat and muscle, not a guess from looking at you.
- They measure more than your weight. When it works, fat goes down and muscle goes up, and the scale can't see either.
- They talk about food. Training alone rarely fixes weight. Nutrition drives most of the result.
- They coach in the language you think in. If that's English, the cues during a heavy lift need to be in English, not just the small talk at reception.
- They plan for the weeks you can't come. Travel, a sick kid, a deadline. A good coach plans around your calendar, not against it.
- The gym is on your way. If it's more than twenty minutes from home or work, be honest about how often you'll really go.
- They tell you what they can't do. If someone promises a six-pack by summer, keep looking.
We built our programs around that list. If you want to see how, the free Kickoff Strategy is 45 minutes and comes with your own InBody scan.

What members say about the coaching
“An English speaking gym where you get an excellent personal approach, nutrition plan based on your body fat/muscle measurements, progress tracking in a nice app and much much more. The place is easily accessible, clean and friendly. Highly recommended.”
“Outstanding gym experience with friendly and personal attention given by all the instructors. Atmosphere is welcoming and encouraging. Gym owner, Joey, is super knowledgeable and approachable, and takes a keen interest in everyone's personal development and success which is amazing. Highly recommend.”
“Friendly individual approach, professional team, speaking both Czech and English. Doesn't matter if you are young or older, slim or not so slim, this is a gym for all! If you are not able to do anything, no problem to be given a different exercise, after injury or if you might have a disability to do certain moves, so don't worry about anything and come. YouTube does not tell you "hey, straight back" or "hey, that is not good, do it this way to be safe". The coaches pay attention to those who exercise, so I know I am safe.”
