Philosophy
First-class coaching for executives
ML Coaching stands for a partnership that adapts precisely to your starting point.
I do not work with my clients as a trainer who demonstrates exercises. I think like a strategic partner. Like someone who knows what a full calendar costs, what business travel demands and what's at stake when your body cannot keep up.
Strength training based on the Poliquin method, designed for maximum muscular stimulus with minimal time investment. Nutrition coaching based on spiroergometry and lab diagnostics. Mental coaching for stress-resistant performance. All under one roof, precisely aligned.

More about the methodProcess
How we work together
Step 1
The initial consultation
No sales pitch. A real conversation. I listen, ask questions and explain what working together would look like. Free and without obligation.
Step 2
Diagnostics and baseline measurement
Body composition, energy metabolism, mobility, resilience. If you don't measure, you train blind.
Step 3
The personalised programme
No standard. A system tailored to you. With clear goals, measurable progress and the flexibility a full calendar demands.
Step 4
Ongoing adjustment
Your body changes. So does the programme. Regular check-ins secure long-term results.
Transformation
Results you can see.
And keep feeling.
A body transformation changes your body composition. It builds muscle while reducing fat. It improves your energy, your sleep, your posture.
On the scales, that sometimes looks less spectacular than expected. In the mirror and in everyday life, the difference is enormous.

Who it's for
For people with responsibility and little time.
Four profiles that benefit most from data-driven coaching.
CEOs and founders
Decision-makers under high load with a tight time budget. Maximum effect in minimal time.
Bankers and consultants
Consistent training despite unpredictable schedules. Recovery managed deliberately, especially in the most intense phases.
Partners and lawyers
For frequent travellers. The programme adapts to travel plans and time zones, not the other way round.
Executive Athletes
For everyone training for a competition alongside their career. Marathon, triathlon, cycling races.
Manifesto
The Marco Laterza principle
The symbiosis of strength and endurance.
I know the system that limits your body. 15-hour days. Boardroom pressure. Quiet exhaustion. I have lived that world. And I know how to hold my own in it.
Today I combine 20 years of expertise with the practice of the Hybrid Athlete. I am a strength athlete and a marathon runner. That is not a contradiction. It is the goal. Peak strength combined with maximum endurance.
24 international magazine covers prove the method. My road to the marathon proves it lasts. I pass this system on to you. So you can dominate in your world. Precise. Data-driven. No compromises.
Clients

„An excellent coach with deep knowledge and heart. My body has changed for the better and I am physically stronger and more stress-resistant. Even after my move to London, Marco remains my first choice.“
