About Me
Physical and mental change does not happen quickly but instead takes time, courage and determination, as it requires the person on this journey to leave their comfort zone. I am convinced that a person’s own health should always be the top priority in their life. This is why I want to make health sexy, fun and easy enough for you to make it part of your lifestyle.
How sports became part of my life
I grew up in Wiesbaden, a cosy place in the South-West of Germany. Ever since taking my first step and taking part in various sports as a child like ballet, volleyball or track and field, sport has been part of my life – it is the foundation of who I am today. Sport has kept me focused when I grew up, it made me fit – physically and mentally, it was my strength and safe space that I could escape to when I felt lost and it made me meet wonderful people from all over the world. Sports has been my constant.
South Africa - stepping out of my comfort zone
After my studies, moving to different cities and working in corporate businesses in South Africa, I decided to follow my inner voice to make my dream come true – the dream to build a space where people feel comfortable yet challenged enough to create a healthier and stronger version of themselves.
So, with this dream in mind, I left the comfort of a permanent job and opened my own gym in Cape Town, South Africa. Three years later, from zero members to full classes of happy and healthy people, I knew that it was time for me to continue my journey and start a new chapter in my life.
Berlin - an ever-evolving city
I moved back to Germany where Berlin became my new home base. A place I love because it constantly evolves and moves, and resonates with who I am, constantly finding new ways to elevate my own but also other people’s lives.
In Berlin, I started working as a fitness instructor and project manager for a sports brand, where I created sustainable fitness concepts.
Follow Your Heart
I look forward to the day, I can look back at the path I have taken. A path I created and envisioned, getting stronger through obstacles, generating new energy from joining forces and sharing moments with other people, who have the courage to stay true to themselves.
You are you and that is your ultimate superpower!
with love, Irène
