The balancing act

Listen to Maciek talk about how he makes time to train despite having a family and a full time job

Maciek | A CrossFit Dad at CrossFit 1864

Maciek has been part of CrossFit 1864 for over six years. He didn’t just join a gym. He became part of a community and over time, he brought his family with him.

What started as his own fitness journey has grown into something much bigger. Today, Maciek trains alongside his partner, and his kids are also part of the CrossFit 1864 family. He’s a living example of how training can shape not just your body, but your lifestyle and the people around you.

Leading by Example

For Maciek, CrossFit isn’t about chasing numbers or competing. It’s about showing up consistently, taking care of his health, and setting the right example for his kids.

By training regularly, he’s teaching them:

  • The value of movement

  • The importance of consistency

  • How strength and health fit into everyday life

  • That exercise can be social, fun, and sustainable

His kids don’t just see fitness. They see habits.

Training as a Family

One of the most powerful things about Maciek’s journey is how naturally CrossFit became a family activity. His partner trains at CrossFit 1864, and his kids are active, confident, and comfortable in a gym environment.

This is what long-term fitness looks like. Not a short phase, but something that integrates into family life.

Six Years of Consistency

Being part of the same gym for over six years says a lot. Maciek has trained through busy work periods, family life changes, and different stages of fitness. The common thread has always been consistency.

CrossFit 1864 has been a place where he can train effectively while balancing real life responsibilities. No pressure to be perfect. Just support to keep moving forward.
