New to Hamburg
You haven't found a routine yet, you're not sure which gym to join, and the German-language group classes feel like a lot. We can start simply, in English or Greek.

Who I usually work with.
Returning after a long break
It may have been years since your last regular training. We begin with the fundamentals: posture, breathing, and lifting safely. Then we progress from there.

If German feels like a wall and you'd rather train with someone who speaks Greek or English, that's me. Sessions, plans, and check-ins in whichever you prefer.

About
I'm Greek, I live in Hamburg, and I work with the kind of people I used to be: busy, a bit out of shape, slightly intimidated by the gym, and ready to actually start.
I'm a certified personal trainer, Pilates instructor, and TRX coach. Most of my clients are expats, parents, and people coming back to training after a long pause. Sessions are calm, structured, and adapted to your real life.

Pay-as-you-go
How it works
How we start
How we get started.
Free intro call
20 minutes by phone or WhatsApp. We talk goals, schedule, injuries, what you've tried before, and whether I'm the right fit. No pitch.
Movement check
First session is a calm assessment. How you stand, how you move, how you feel in general. I'll get a feel for your level and know where to go from there.
4-week plan
I write a simple plan around your week. Two short sessions, one home routine, one weekly WhatsApp check-in. Something doable you can stick with.
Adjust as we go
Every two weeks we review what worked and what didn't, and update the plan. The goal is something you'll still be doing in month three.
Common questions
Common questions.
I'm a complete beginner. Is this actually for me?
Yes, that's most of who I work with. The first 4 weeks are deliberately simple: how to move well, how to recover, and how to build a routine you can keep.
Do I need a gym, equipment, or fancy clothes?
No. We can train in a park, in your living room, or in a small home gym. I'll bring resistance bands and whatever else you have, we work with it.
Can we train in Greek?
Of course. Sessions, your written plan, and check-ins can all be in Greek or English, whichever you're more comfortable in.
Where in Hamburg do you train?
Mostly the east side of Hamburg: Wandsbek, Hamm, Horn, Marienthal, and the surrounding parks (Öjendorf, Hammer Park, Boberger Niederung). If you're elsewhere in the city, just ask and we'll figure it out.
What if I travel a lot, or want to keep going from another country?
That's exactly what the online program is for. Many clients start in person in Hamburg and switch to online when they travel or move. Your plan moves with you.
