  • "Every Friday I go to Fyshuset in Gävle to train Weightlifting. Every now and then there are gymnasts at Fyshuset when I'm there, that's how I met Joel. Since I've always been interested in gymnastics, I took the opportunity to train acrobatic gymnastics with Joel to get better body control, balance and make my training more versatile and interesting . I think the gymnastics drills has gone very well after Joel has helped me. so I felt I needed it in my training program as a complement to the lifting. In just a few times/training sessions with Joel, I now master the Plance, Back Flip and other advanced handstand combinations.

    Joel knows a lot of fun and useful things to train on.

"I have turned to Joel Minicz on several occasions to progress in my training, which has resulted in everything from mobility training and gymnastics to weightlifting.

  • For me, his instructions have revolutionized how I relate to my practice, which has led to a good basic physique and that today I am basically injury-free. I have never met a trainer who has delved so deeply with such breadth as Joel. This means that I have total trust in him and follow his theories and methods with great interest. In conclusion, it is challenging but really fun to train with him. If you just take your goal seriously, Joel helps you get there with his smile and fucking embrace."

Joel has been a great help during my time as a gymnast with everything from strength, flexibility to acrobatics.

  • His help has meant an incredible amount to me, not least after a serious knee injury that required surgery and an estimated rehabilitation time of about a year. Thanks to Joel's training, I was able to quickly regain, and even improve, the strength in my body. This made it possible to recover more quickly and thus be in top shape for the 2015 Swedish Championships where I managed to take gold in the DMT. 
    Thank you Joel:

    With kind regards,

I contacted Joel when I needed to improve my mobility and body control. In three weeks he had me standing on my hands and doing a standing backflip. The training we have done has helped me become more mobile and get a better position in both the snatch and clean and jerk.

Joel is very knowledgeable and inspiring when he teaches skills. In a way that makes you feel very safe. Detailed and very flexible so you feel that it is fun to try new things.

  • I met Joel in an artistic gymnastics group at Gefle gymnastics association in 2004. My flips "stunts" I do today I would not have been able to do without Joel's strength traning and acrobatic knowledge. Body control is important in everything I do and Joel makes sure that new exercises are built up in a safe way.   

    "My successes would not have been as great without you." 

    Thank you Joel.

For several years I have had problems with both my hip and shoulder. With Joel's simple but effective help, it only took a few weeks to get better.

  • Now I can practice and hit golf balls without pain. He has also helped me improve my mobility, body control and hand-eye coordination. It is fun to practice with Joel and I find him to be very knowledgeable and committed.
