Perun Strength - Norwich

Soapy P.

Perun Strength is the real deal! Marcin and Vik are both super knowledgeable, encouraging and supportive, creating such a welcoming and enjoyable environment that really helped me overcome my gym anxiety. I never thought weight training was something I’d be able to do, but was soon proven v wrong by how quickly I felt the benefit and saw progress.

Can’t recommend it enough, particularly for people, like me, who are both clueless and nervous about exercise and training! Five-star people, five-star place.

By far the most welcoming gym I've ever been to. Support from Marcin and Vik is incredible. I'd previously struggled with getting motivation to go regularly to any previous gyms, but the set up and support means I've gone regularly since joining and I really feel the benefit, stronger and healthier than ever. It's an amazing community that they've built and I couldn't recommend them more.

Vik and Marcin are incredibly knowledgeable and really take the time to explain the exercises and answer any questions you might have. I initially signed up to work on my form and stay injury-free, and these guys are absolutely the best at ensuring that. They focus on each individual’s needs, which has made a huge difference in my progress and confidence.

What’s even newer for me is that I actually look forward to my workouts! The atmosphere they’ve created is both supportive and motivating. I leave every session feeling better than when I came in. I’m already feeling stronger, and I’m excited to continue seeing progress.

Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for expert guidance, a personal touch, and a positive experience! Thank you, guys!

I’m someone who always found an excuse to skip PE, then as an adult went through phases of putting off joining a gym and then always sacking it off once the trial memberships expired. Then I met Marcin, and I’ve now been training with him for about 8 years, and since they formed Perun Strength together, I’ve been training with Vik for about a year, too. I could not imagine working with anyone else, in any other gym.
Marcin and Vik have worked incredibly hard to build a gym and training programme that not only produces fantastic results, but fosters a culture of mutual support, honesty and fun. It’s always a joy to meet new members and I’ve never left a session feeling anything less than a sense of accomplishment.
Both Marcin and Vik have a wide knowledge base of stretches and exercises and keen eyes for form and technique, so any difficulties completing an activity are soon overcome. Their shared knowledge of nutrition has been invaluable with my own health difficulties, and their genuine desire to see me succeed has helped immensely in keeping me on track to a healthier lifestyle, physically and mentally. I assure you, there is no hyperbole when I say working with these two has probably saved my life.

I joined Perun in July 2024, and have experienced such a change in myself and my strength since then. One of my goals was to be able to do a full push up, and I can now do 10! I love leaving sessions feeling a sense of achievement and empowerment from being able to move/pick up/drag heavy things around. I also really enjoy the newly added conditioning sessions which are a heart rate raiser to get the endorphins going! Marcin and Vik offer unparalleled support in a small group setting, meaning you can make incredible progress in a safe, comfortable way. 3 sessions a week, plus the conditioning sessions and nutrition support etc is excellent value for money.

I am so grateful to have found this small group gym session led by Marcin. As someone who was hesitant to join larger gyms due to the fear of standing out, this gym has been a game-changer for me.

Marcin's guidance has not only helped me overcome my initial fears but has also been instrumental in building my confidence in both exercise and diet. His personalized approach caters to individuals at all fitness levels, making it an excellent choice for beginners like me, as well as experienced individuals looking to refine their workout routines.

One of the standout features of this group is the flexibility it offers in scheduling sessions throughout the week. This has made it incredibly convenient to incorporate regular exercise into my routine without feeling overwhelmed.

The small group setting, capped at 6 people, creates a comfortable and supportive environment. I never feel lost in the crowd, and there's always an opportunity to receive personalized assistance during workouts.

Overall, I highly recommend this small group gym session to anyone looking to embark on their fitness journey or enhance their current workout routine. Marcin's expertise and the welcoming atmosphere make it a standout choice in the world of fitness.

I’ve been a member for about a month, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far. The environment is incredibly welcoming, with athletes at every level—from those completely new to strength training to total badasses. As someone who just moved to the area, I’ve felt so welcomed!

I’ve been strength training for about six years, and I’m impressed that every class challenges me to improve. I learn something new every time, techniques stuff, nutrition stuff, recovery stuff, mobility stuff. always something. The trainers (Marcin and Vik) are not only knowledgeable but also fun, kind, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve. The community as a whole is equally supportive and inspiring.

What stands out most to me is the emphasis on technique. It’s not just about completing the movements—it’s about doing them as well as you possibly can, which makes all the difference in the long run (especially for preventing injury). Moving here from a bigger city, I was a little unsure about what to expect, but the quality of training absolutely rivals (if not exceeds) the fancy gyms I’ve attended before.

While it’s not a small investment, the value is 100% there. If you’re serious about getting stronger, becoming more confident, and honing your skills in strength training, this is the gym for you. I’m so glad I found it!

Love this gym. I wasted so much money on other major gyms just paying monthly fee and doing nothing. Both Marcin and Vik give us motivations and help we all needed. 3months on, I’m fitter and happier. Thank you!!
