About me

I’m Raphael, born and raised in Vienna. I first discovered my sporting ambition as a teenager through endurance sports, which soon led me to take part in several marathons, ultramarathons and Ironman triathlons. Since then, I’ve been constantly trying out new sports and love broadening my horizons along the way.

My interest in people soon led me to study sports science and psychology – two fields that I consider essential for high-quality personal training.

Through my many years of experience in competitive sport, I’ve learned how important it is to consider lifestyle factors such as motivation, stress, sleep, etc. alongside training. I try to understand people holistically and find an approach that perfectly suits their individual goals and lifestyle.
