Mariusz maintains his agility, conditioning, and general physical preparedness through other athletic endeavors. He is an exponent of Kyokushin karate (fourth kyu), which he has been practicing since the age of 11. He was also a competitive boxer for seven years, three of which were spent in the Kosedowski League. Mariusz is a favorite in every strongman competition he enters, having been defeated only twice in Poland through 2002, with his worst placing being a respectable second.

Pudzianowski's father was also a large weightlifter and winner of the Polish weightlifting championship in his youth. When he saw his son's size and potential at a young age, he began to give him advice in weightlifting. This relationship continues today, as Mariusz has revealed that his father continues to coach him in his training.

Unlike some strongmen, Mariusz retains a very low body fat percentage which helps him with his speed and endurance.
