Peter Bakonyi

My name is Peter Bakonyi. I am a certified StrongFirst instructor.

My profession is software engineering. My passion is strength training.

I have been doing some form of strength training from the age of 15. I did 2.5 years of StrongFirst Kettlebell training in the Victory Kyokushin Dojo in Budapest (2012-2014). I have tried several other different sports in the past (yellow belt in Kyokushin karate, Acrobatic rock and roll for 5 years).

I have been training on my own since 2016 and it became a passion that I enjoy and take seriously. I dedicate time to practice, to read and to keep myself up-to-date. I approach each training session as a practice and not as a workout. I switched back from barbell to kettlebell training in 2020 (thanks to Covid). I did the SFG I certificate in 2021. I teach kettlebell once a week at Garyu Kyokushin Karate Wädenswil. My personal goal is to achieve Sinister by the end of 2022.

I have a wife (also certified SFG) and two small children. We like spending time in nature, hiking & biking.

I am not a professional trainer but happy to help if you need coaching or guidance. I have a lot of personal experience on how to find a training plan that fits a busy lifestyle and delivers. The answer will probably be heavy swings & heavy get-ups to get strong first :)
