Marco Pietrowski was in the shape of his life after winning a South African bodybuilding title and earning Professional status, but all that changed in an instant.
JOHANNESBURG - "People don't take me seriously any more as a coach the second they realize my disability." Marco Pietrowski, a professional fitness model and personal trainer, was involved in a car crash in 2013 that left his C3 and C4 vertebrae in his neck dislocated, and fractured his C5.
Pietrowski was in the shape of his life after winning a South African bodybuilding title and earning Professional status, but all that changed in an instant. "In 2008, I had begun competing as a Fitness Model winning my first two shows and had received my Pro Status. In 2013, I competed in WBFF and was announced the very first Pro Fitness athlete in South Africa.
"I have chosen Max because I completely understand what he is going through, physically, mentally and emotionally. When I came across his profile on social media, I had goosebumps because I can see the determination and passion in his eyes, the look of a champion. I then knew that I had to contact Max and offer him my assistance.
