Sylwia Zając (played by Magdalena Koleśnik) is a protagonist in Sweat.
Sylwia Zając is the film’s central figure, a popular fitness influencer who leads energetic workouts and broadcasts her daily life to a large online community. She presents a warm, confident image while managing sponsorships and television appearances, but becomes frightened and humiliated after confronting a stalker and later finding an injured man. Klaudiusz (played by Julian Świeżewski) appears in Sweat.
Klaudiusz is Sylwia Zając’s assistant and a practical support figure in her public and private life. He helps take photographs during her fitness activities and later responds when she reports being stalked. He claims that the threatening man will not bother her again, showing his protective role toward Sylwia. Fryderyk (played by Zbigniew Zamachowski) appears in Sweat.
Fryderyk is connected to Sylwia Zając as the man expected at her mother’s birthday gathering. Sylwia presents their relationship as serious, placing him within the family setting alongside her relatives. Although he is not central to the fitness or assault storyline, his presence reflects Sylwia’s personal life beyond her public image. Andrzej (played by Lech Łotocki) appears in Sweat.
Andrzej is called to assist after Sylwia Zając brings the injured Rysiek to medical attention. His involvement places him on the institutional side of the response to the assault, helping address the confusion surrounding Rysiek’s condition and identity. The plot provides no further personal background about his relationship with Sylwia. Rysiek (played by Tomasz Orpiński) appears in Sweat.
Rysiek is the injured man whom Sylwia Zając discovers after he has apparently been beaten. She urgently seeks medical assistance and later identifies him at the hospital. His condition creates the film’s final uncertainty, as authorities try to establish what happened and clarify his identity while Sylwia’s own car must also be moved. Kacper (played by Bartosz Sak) appears in Sweat.
Kacper is present at Sylwia Zając’s family birthday gathering, where the relatives watch her SWEAT programme on a new television. He joins the toast to Sylwia and the mother who raised her, contributing to the warm family atmosphere surrounding her public success. The plot gives no further role or personal background for him.
