Performance Engineer — Athletic Training & Combat Sports in Vienna, Lukas Pezenka

Your goal is the starting point. Not my program.

Athletic Training & Combat Sports in Vienna

Whether competition, weight loss or the road back from injury — we begin with an analysis of where you stand. From there I build training that fits your body, your schedule and your goal.

🏆

Not enough for competition?

You train hard, but in competition the last step is missing. Your conditioning collapses in round three. The strength from the gym doesn't transfer to the mat. And nobody can tell you why.

What we do: Movement analysis, targeted strength development, periodization aligned to your competition calendar.

⚖️

Losing weight — and keeping it off?

You've lost weight several times — and gained it back. Stairs feel harder than three years ago. You know you need to do something, but every new plan falls apart after eight weeks.

What we do: Realistic goal setting, nutrition as part of the system instead of a diet, a training plan built around your real weekly schedule.

🩹

Coming back after injury?

You want to get back to your sport, but nobody tells you which path is safe. Loading too early is risky, waiting too long costs you months.

What we do: Functional Movement Screening, gradual loading progression, clear criteria for every next step.

How it works

No surprises. Modern technology supports you at every step.

01

You write to me

Via the form. No call, no sales pitch, no obligation. You briefly describe where you stand and what you want to achieve.

02

We talk for 30 minutes

By video call or phone — however you prefer. I'll tell you honestly whether I can help you and which mode fits.

03

Assessment & Plan

FMS screening, movement analysis, circumference measurement (with nutrition), goal definition. Afterwards you receive your individual plan via the TrainHeroic app.

04

Implementation via TrainHeroic

Your training plan lands directly in the TrainHeroic app. You see exact exercises, sets and reps, and can track your progress. I see everything in real time and adjust as needed.

Modern software for better coaching

Instead of paperwork and cluttered spreadsheets you use the TrainHeroic app — the same platform used by professional athletes like Conor McGregor.

What that means for you:

  • Your plan is always at hand — on phone, tablet or desktop
  • Video tutorials for every exercise directly in the app
  • Real-time sync: I see when you train and how it's going
  • Automatic progression: increases are suggested
  • No losing notes or slips of paper
  • Direct communication with me when questions come up
TrainHeroic App Interface

Why what fails elsewhere works with me

We don't guess, we measure

Before you do a single exercise, we know where you stand — mobility, stability, strength level, resilience. The assessment is the basis of every plan.

A plan that fits your life

No off-the-shelf program. We build around your working hours, your family, your history. The best plan is useless if it isn't feasible.

Modern communication

Programs via the TrainHeroic app. Real-time progress tracking, direct communication, no paperwork. Technology that supports, not distracts.

About me

Sport never came easy to me. When I went to the Taekwon-Do World Championship in 2007, I wasn't a talent — just someone who didn't stop. The breaking test was the result of system, not gift.

Today I work with my clients exactly the same way: analyze, plan, measure, readjust. My technical education at TU Wien as well as my master's degree in "Training and Sport" at FH Wiener Neustadt enable me to approach challenges analytically and develop functional solutions. As a published scientific author, I share evidence-based knowledge with the community. My publications on ResearchGate. My competition years taught me how to deal with setbacks and to stay on the ball until the task is fulfilled.

Frequently asked questions

No. I work with complete beginners just as much as with competitive athletes — only from a different starting point.

In movement execution usually after two to three sessions. Measurable performance improvement after six to eight weeks.

Use the interactive guide at the top of this page. Five short questions about competition status, training frequency, time structure, time horizon and 1:1 or duet format will show you the right model.

The Flex Block is a pure session carnet (5-pack €520, 10-pack €990, valid 6 or 12 months) without program management. Coaching adds programming, app support and regular analysis. Silver and Gold are currently sold out — you can join the waitlist.

Program design (€110, one-time) delivers your complete program including assessment and one month of support. Online coaching (€95/month) is the ongoing service with monthly adjustments. Many start with program design and then switch to coaching.

Yes. In duet training you train in pairs with one trainer: €150 per session for both together (€75 each), Duet Block 5-pack €700 (6 months), 10-pack €1,300 (12 months).

Yes — as program design including one PT session for €110. Nutrition consulting is also available as a single session.

At two locations in Vienna — Vienna Combat Academy, KaiGym — as well as online for planning and support.
