A story without a soul-tearing prologue...

 

...but with an inspiring continuation — that's how this story could be described. Born with a hemangioma, then the first surgery, the second, and then it all started... no, it all took off(!) leading to a wheelchair. I don’t really know another life. And I wouldn't have known if it weren’t for the gym, which radically changed the course of my life.

 

Perhaps everyone has, at least once, found themselves drawn into something they never imagined being part of. That’s exactly what happened to me. One day, I made a decision — to sign up for a gym. And just like that, my entire routine changed.

 

Training is hard work. Overcoming the person you were yesterday, you become someone new, discovering fresh versions of yourself each time. It’s only by stepping beyond our comfort zones that we truly start to see what was invisible before.

Thanks to my coach, I fell in love with heavy weights and powerlifting. I learned to stand without dizziness and even engage my weaker leg. I learned to love sports — and, more importantly, myself.

 

Through the gym, I discovered a world of new interests and started competing. Even this project would have been impossible for me without training. For some, workouts are just another item on a long to-do list. For me, they are a life of their own.

With my story, I want to inspire people to take action, to try something new, to start now — not later. Because only by tasting, experiencing, and exploring can we uncover new genres of the path we call life.
