A Qigong and Chinese-medicine practice, not a gym
Correct the category in the first breath. This is listed among gyms, but Google files it as a medical clinic, the website points to a traditional Chinese wellness practice, and every review is about Qigong, meditation, acupuncture, and eastern medicine. Yang Chi, in Warsaw, Poland, on Prokuratorska, is the practice of Rafal Becker (and Kamila Becker), teaching Qigong and offering acupuncture and health consultations. If you searched for a place to lift or run, this isn't it, and I won't pretend otherwise. This also isn't a place of worship, it's a movement-and-therapy practice, so the reviews are fair game.
Here's what people actually experienced, dates read from the timestamps.
What clients describe
The core offering is Qigong instruction, often in retreat form, plus one-on-one eastern-medicine care. An August 2025 review described a week-long camp in detail: "Strengthening the body, calming the mind, active rest, comfort, and relaxation - these are the best descriptions of the Qigong camp with Rafal and Kamila Becker in Malkow... Rafal Becker is an outstanding Qigong teacher and an incredibly humble and considerate person. All the exercises and forms introduced were wonderfully explained and patiently repeated. I returned fitter, more flexible, and calmer." (translated from Polish). That's the clearest picture of the product: guided movement, meditation, and forms you can practice on your own afterward.
The therapy side shows up too. An August 2025 client tied together the two halves: "Both the Qigong course and the acupuncture treatments have dramatically changed my mental and physical well-being. Rafal's knowledge is vast." (translated from Polish). A May 2021 review, in English, focused on the consultation: "Very happy with the service and advice from Mr. Becker. He was very clear in explaining the techniques and health plan."
What a 5.0 on 7 reviews really means
Be clear-eyed about the numbers. This is a perfect 5.0, but on only 7 reviews. That's a tiny sample, so the average carries almost no statistical weight. A single critical review would drop it noticeably. On top of that, four of the reviews cluster in August 2025, which reads like a wave after a specific retreat rather than a steady stream over years. That's an innocent pattern, happy participants posting together after an event, but it means these voices sit close to one moment, not spread across many.
There's also a selection effect I'd want you to see. A niche practice built around one teacher's method attracts people already drawn to Qigong and eastern medicine. They self-select into loving it. So the 5.0 tells you the fit is strong for those who seek this out. It doesn't tell you it's a general fitness solution. Would a curious skeptic rate it the same? The record can't say.
What's missing
No prices for classes, camps, or acupuncture. No clear public class schedule beyond broad weekday hours. No indication of drop-in options. For a practice like this, cost and format vary a lot, so a direct conversation matters more than usual.
Who it's not for
Anyone looking for conventional gym training, strength equipment, or a drop-in workout. This is instructor-led Qigong and traditional Chinese medicine. If that framework doesn't appeal, the category label here is misleading for you.
FAQ
Is Yang Chi a gym?
No. It's classified as a medical clinic and functions as a Qigong and traditional Chinese medicine practice led by Rafal Becker, including acupuncture and consultations.
What would I actually do there?
Guided Qigong classes and retreats, meditation, and eastern-medicine treatments such as acupuncture, based on the reviews.
How reliable is the 5.0 rating?
It's based on just 7 reviews, four of them from a single month, so treat it as a small, enthusiastic sample rather than a solid score.
Is it good for general fitness?
One reviewer reported feeling fitter and more flexible after a camp, but this is a niche wellness practice, not a standard gym, so match it to your goals first.
