An Unexpected Equal
When we are used to working hard all day every day, and are fully immersed in fulfilling our daily purpose, it can prove to be beneficial to stop and reflect on
who we are
where we came from
how we got here
And where we want to go
It is important to understand these things, and always have a sense of perspective and proportion, so that we can truly know where we stand.
My name is Kevin Kryszak, and I am a Precision Trainer.
I come from a very Polish family, speak the language fluently, and am immersed in both Polish and American culture on a daily basis.
That, however, is only a part of me, and its importance in what makes me "me" would soon be matched by what was, at that time, an unexpected equal...
We all start our fitness journeys for different reasons, but I started for the same reasons that a lot of 18 year old bros have in the past...

Around that age, I remember stepping on the scale and seeing anywhere between 135-140 lbs, while all of my friends were light years above.
I can still remember what it felt like to get under an empty bar and struggle to be able to bench it properly even once.
It was totally strange and surreal to see people lifting weights
twice as heavy as them
being in total control of their bodies when they moved
and managing to change the form and function of their bodies as a byproduct!
It seemed like something out of a movie to me, having myself never engaged in much strenuous physical activity for even a small amount of time.
I wanted to get somewhere close to that.
Long story short, after plenty of time, trial and error, and sorting real science out of "bro-science", I started getting closer to the results I was looking for
During that pivotal point in my life, it became clear to me what an impact that kind of training can have, not only on the health of an individual, but also on
their mindset
and expression of their personality
I reached a point in my life where I had researched and dipped my toes into several different careers, and they all seemed feasible and enjoyable enough.
Except it felt like there was something essential missing.
I didn't feel that I would derive the sense of deeper satisfaction that I was looking for from any of them.
I didn't really know where to look for it, or how to explain what it even was.
But the concept of becoming a personal trainer was always there in my mind.
I knew that it would be a way to help and impact people through fitness, in the same way that it helped and changed me.
But just like my previous fitness goals, it seemed like something that was so distant, like there was a chasm between that iteration of me, and the current me.
Then I decided to try and get there.
Through a lot of studying and some luck, I now find myself at Precision Training, with some of the most amazing clients I could've hoped to have the privilege of training, and alongside the most supportive and knowledgeable team of trainers I've ever known.
At this stage in my pursuit, after all this time and uncertainty…
I've found my daily purpose and strive to fulfill it every day, alongside people the likes of which I never thought I would be lucky enough to meet.
What is that purpose?
Giving people I train the best hour of their day, doing what is necessary to allow them to become who they've always been destined to be, and to crack some corny “dad” jokes while doing it.
