Sound familiar?
This is what your training for “Build muscle” looks like.
- You want to get stronger but have little experience with strength training.
- You want to do it properly, not just by feel.
- You want strength for everyday life – carrying, lifting, stairs, kids.
How we train with you:
- Every muscle group on its own
- Eight zones, eight settings. Your trainer pushes where you want to get stronger.
- Clean technique
- Your trainer stands next to you and watches every movement – from the very first session.
- Progress with a plan
- Settings are adjusted every session, so your muscles keep getting a new stimulus.
Muscles grow during recovery – so your trainer plans enough rest between sessions.

Your training is yours alone.
No class, no rows of machines, no off-the-shelf plan. Every session is set up for you – for your body, your goal and your day.
Getting to know you
At the trial session you talk to your trainer about your goal, your everyday life and your history.
Your plan
That becomes your training plan – not a standard package, but your own focus areas.
Every session set up
In every session your trainer sets the intensity for each muscle group – to suit you and your day.
Moving on together
Your trainer knows where you are. If you get stronger or your goal changes, your plan changes with it.
Your appointment, minute by minute
Your first appointment: about 40 minutes. 20 of them training.

This is what it looks like
Short clips from our trainers – in German, with German subtitles. You will still see what a session looks like.
What you get with us
Short sessions, a trainer at your side and training that is set up for you - not for the average.
Just 20 minutes
Once a week, a fixed appointment - it fits even into a full calendar.
Every muscle group on its own
Eight zones, eight settings - stronger where you want to get stronger, gentler where you need to be careful.
No heavy weights
The impulses are added to your own movement - with no extra load from dumbbells or machines.
14 studios in and around Cologne
Train wherever you happen to be - in the morning next to the office, in the evening around the corner.
Frequently asked questions
Once a week, for about 20 minutes. That is what the training is designed for: short but intense, with enough time in between for your muscles to recover.
