In short: Your training will be highly individual and personalized.
Whichever activity, quantity as well as intensity of the workout will depend on the client’s aims and expectations. It can range from single lessons being intense and demanding – physically and emotionally – to sample lessons that provide ideas for clients doing their workout on their own. You can either book a specific package of lessons or else make a more open-ended commitment.
Ideally, after a while, my clients learn how to integrate ‘sport and movement’ in their own everyday life. I accompany them until they can do it on their own. Also, we can work together on a personal training schedule!
The main thing about this work is developing a helpful and supportive relationship. Physical work is quite personal and I suggest that we talk on the phone and then meet so that we can determine your needs. It is important that you get a good sense of what I have to offer you so that we can get to know the best ways for us to work together.
Recently, I have been exploring ways of building up fitness and muscle at an ‘advanced’ age, or after a longer phase of having done little or no exercise. So this is now my speciality. It takes time and patience – but it is satisfying to see how your body can change and adapt, and to see the effect of new ways that your body can move! Imagine feeling more positive about looking at your body in the mirror! And such positive effects can give you much more energy!
This is what I would like all my clients to experience.
First of all, I come from Southern Germany and trained in London, England. I went to an all-women’s college and I did my teacher training course in Physical Education. I then worked for three years as a P.E. Teacher in South East London, in an all-girls state-school.
In 1989, I moved to Berlin and went back to university to study English.
In my youth, I was a successful athlete, and became ‘Allgäuer Meisterin’ in sprinting – 100m. I also did a lot of skiing.
Apart from the sports pedagogy (Movement Studies, Science of Coaching, Sport Psychology, Sport Sociology) and practical physical education training that I received during my college studies (ranging from Modern Educational Dance to Games like: Hockey, Netball, Tennis and other Individual Sports), sports have always played a big role in my life.
In Berlin, I did a lot of Martial Arts. I was trained by a Karate Master and won the world championship title in Kickboxing in 2000.
While I was working for competitions, I also was a group coach in Fitness and Kickboxing – Currently I coach an all-women’s group.
Since 1999 I have been working in a collective school in Kreuzberg. In this school, we practice and strongly believe in the self-government of students. We prepare and work with students for the external exam: ‘Abitur + MSA’. I teach English classes for oral and written exam preparation.

There were times when I would have appreciated the help offered by a Personal Trainer myself, because I remember this all-round feeling of well-being. Motivation plays a big role in my work.
I like to talk about how clients feel, before and especially after exercising, e.g. do you have muscle pain, where, how strong is it? I always have people’s safety in mind so that there is a balance between challenge and appropriate limits. It also gives you a chance to share any anxieties that exercise might have brought up for you.
Sport and fitness needs to be part of one’s life and can also be done in your neighbourhood! Enjoying nature while becoming fit, even in a city like Berlin, is also possible – and this is part of my approach.
Therefore I developed the following 7 principles for successful training!
I offer a 30% price reduction on one single lesson, for a successful recommendation of a new client!
First contact for individual appointment or consultation by phone or email! After that, I can be booked with a simple text message or a phonecall on my mobile phone! However, bookings always require a confirmation!
