Better Athlete
The “Better Athlete” concept targets the complete development of the body and its qualities – strength, stability, mobility and speed – which the client can then put to real use in sport and in everyday activity.
Most of my clients are athletes whose main goals are injury prevention and improved performance. However, “Better Athlete” is not only meant to develop the physical abilities of athletes – it is fully applicable to people with no sports experience who simply want to feel better or reach a specific goal. From your side, you need to want to progress and take responsibility – then we can make the most of your time.
How our cooperation works
We agree on your goals, training experience, limitations, etc.
During the first session we do an analysis – I will see what to focus on and what the limiting factors are.
I put together a training plan we will use to improve your strength and conditioning.
Sessions take place in a private gym at Bertramka (Prague 5).
Personal training – fixed schedule
Regular training sessions at fixed, pre-agreed times. The whole session takes place under my guidance and any shortcomings can be addressed on the spot. Sessions are designed around your individual goals – whether you want to get stronger for next season or simply feel better. The number in the program name is the number of sessions per 4 weeks.

CONSULTATION
The topic for a joint consultation can be: diet, recovery, training plan... If you are interested in modifying your diet plan, we will go through the basic principles of eating and show you some variations of meals. At the same time, I will analyze your current diet and suggest a modification. I don't do a customized diet plan, because in 99% of cases it's not needed and it's also challenging in terms of long-term sustainability. If you still want your diet to be calorie-accurate, I'll show you how to do it in the meeting.

ABOUT ME
My name is Matěj Kresl and I have been into sports since childhood – from athletics and swimming to lacrosse, which I play for the national team.
It was the demands of a physical, contact sport that led me to strength training, and I have learned from many disciplines – calisthenics, powerlifting, weightlifting, athletics. From each I take the best for myself and my clients.
I believe the body should look good and be functional at the same time. That idea became BetterAthlete – the concept I use to train myself and my clients, and its goal is to make you a better athlete, not just physically.
