About Me

 

 

I grew up in a tiny village in East Germany. My father was a sports teacher at the local school and I took my first steps on the field.

In elementary school I trained under his guidance, and participated successfully in  track & field competitions. My exceptionally good genetic potential was obvious, and so since middle school I trained four times a week. I specialized in javelin and discus throw.

During my high school time, I played basketball, and so almost every weekend I have been on the road and traveled the whole country either as a player or later as a referee.

However, I have always been a single fighter.

A cruciate ligament on my left knee broke the basketball career abruptly and a subsequent hospital stay with the compulsion to inactivity brought a lot of time to think. During this time, my career aspirations grew and in 1995 I began to study sports science at the Faculty of the University of Leipzig (former German College for Physical Culture and Sports, DHfK). I also picked up the athletics training (heptathlon) and supplemented this with regular weight training.

In the meantime, I participated in cycling just for the fun. Even when I had success.

Parallel to my studying, I began training at the Institute for Applied Sciences and the Faculty as one of the most recent scientific assistant to work. I was concerned with measurements of advanced dynamometric Kistler platforms and managed high performance athletes terms of strength training in the javelin and roller - and figure skating. To finance my studies I also worked in a bike shop (repairs and sales) and in the ski and snowboard service and a small fitness center.

After completing my studies I moved to Switzerland and initially managed the national team of Switzerland in professional cycling.

Later, I began working as a Fitness instructor in a huge fitness park.

After a very short time I became head coach, established a performance diagnostics area in the gym and was one of the first fitness instructors, a Swiss Certified in Switzerland, and audit expert fitness instructors. I also created a special training performance for the school for aerobics and fitness Zurich (Safs), and also served as a trainer.

Later I got the chance to set up a fitness center that I managed using my care philosophy of that. In short, I devoted myself entirely to the fitness industry.

I coordinated job, family and training, and after 3 years of full throttle, I was so burned out that a change in the situation was announced. I found a job as a PE teacher and turned my focus again more on my own training than on other people.

In 2001 I got my daughter Xenia and therefore there was no time for the quite time-consuming training and cycling thus left with only the strength training. Since I am always looking for a challenge in a contest, I did this also in bodybuilding. With the receipt of the Pro card a dream became true for me.
