My name is TOMAS BARTOS

I was in athletics, basketball and American football on competitive level. Today I am a strength and fitness trainer. I am a founder and owner of Barbar Gym in Prague. Not only am I helping ordinary people exercise and deal with their health issues etc. I am also involved in making strength and fitness training plans for sport teams or individual athletes. 

My first trip to a fitness center was when I was 11 year old, so naturally I have gone through a huge number of various workouts and systems since then. Because of the times when I worked myself to the bone in a gym for months with no results or when I got injured, I'm educating myself in all aspects of fitness and its related fields as much as possible.

In order for you to get a picture of which people and rules I use for inspiration, here is a list of people I learn from (be it books, courses, articles, etc.) – please keep in mind that it's just a list of the main ones:
