ML Coaching
I'm incredibly happy to have made it onto the cover of a fitness magazine for the 20th time. For me, that's a very special and deeply emotional moment in my life.
This cover came together during a turbulent time. The Corona crisis turned everyone's life upside down. Mine included. Over the past months, I've fought hard. Not only were my business activities challenged by the Corona crisis. Life also confronted me with a major loss in my family, which made this time even harder.
I owe my mother so much
In March of this year, as the pandemic brought our world to a standstill, my mother succumbed to her long-term illness. I had an incredibly strong emotional bond with my mother. When she died of cancer in March, it hit me hard.
I owe my mother a great deal. She always believed in me and kept encouraging and motivating me to keep going and get the best out of myself. Who I am today, and what I've achieved in my fitness career, I owe to my mother. Throughout my entire life, she supported and motivated me on my path to becoming a personal trainer and fitness model.
I got my willpower, dedication and determination from my mother
My willpower, dedication, determination and the success connected to them in my life, I owe to my mother's tireless encouragement.
When I suffered a severe meniscus tear during gymnastics training at the age of 17, which put me out of action for several months, my mother was there for me. She helped me deal with this heavy setback and prove wrong everyone who didn't believe in me, including my doctor, who predicted I might never properly bend or load my knee again.
And it was also my mother who supported me in leaving the banking industry to pursue my dream of becoming a personal trainer and fitness model. In fact, I made it as the first Swiss person onto the cover of an international fitness magazine, and that has since grown into 20 covers.
I dedicate my 20th cover to my mother
My mother was an incredible person. This year she would have celebrated her 72nd birthday. That's why I'm dedicating the 20th cover to her, to the person she was, and to everything she stood for in my life. Losing my mother devastated me. Losing someone you love is incredibly hard and painful.
After losing my mother, I actually wanted to take time off, to switch off and process what had happened. But just one week after my mother's funeral, several countries around the world went into lockdown. Because of the lockdown, I wasn't able to simply get away to gain some distance.
So I used this time to completely restructure my business model. I'd already been planning the restructuring for about a year, but the self-isolation during lockdown gave me the opportunity to push the changes forward.
I worked hard to turn the negative energy from this loss into positive force. I drew on the inspiration my mother always gave me to keep pushing things forward.
A time of crisis – time for new projects
During this time, virtuallyfit.tv was born, the platform for my online fitness studio, offering a custom-built, virtual 360-degree HD studio environment for live 1:1 personal training. This unique platform gives you the opportunity to reach your goals with my professional support. I'll show you how to reach your fitness goals without any equipment, using nothing but your own body weight.
Training with your own body weight is about the connection between muscle and mind, and about variations that increase the intensity of each individual exercise. If you activate your muscles the right way and combine that with intense variations, it's more efficient than training with heavy weights like dumbbells.
The 360-degree camera setup lets you experience the training as if you were training with me in our own private fitness studio. You're never left on your own, there's always interaction taking place. I support and motivate you and correct your execution.
Train with me in the 360° studio, wherever you are
Online personal training gives you the benefit of being able to train with me via livestream, no matter where you are. You train in a clean environment without the health risks you face in public gyms.
I don't offer a mass-market training program. My personal training is fully tailored to your personal needs. In addition to our live training, video analysis and targeted training and nutrition plans, I give you access to around 800 training videos, showing you various exercises and giving you tips for execution.
Among other things, I show you how to properly use various pieces of equipment. You also have the option to play the video footage in slow motion, to improve your technique and the efficiency of your exercise execution.
Want to train with me in person?
I also used the time during lockdown to finish setting up my own private fitness studio. This exclusive private fitness studio gives you the opportunity to train with me in person, in personal training Zurich, in a clean and safe environment.
When you visit my fitness studio, you enjoy a tailored, full-service experience that includes a towel, water and a shake after your training.
