About
Fitness and a healthy lifestyle have been a part of my life since my teenage years. With more than 10 years of experience training in the gym and recently completing my first full marathon in 2025, I understand the importance of pushing your fitness limits while still treating your body with kindness and respect.
With a Spanish-German background and having moved to the UK in 2015, I enjoy working with people from a variety of cultures, ages, and fitness levels. My goal as a personal trainer is to help you feel stronger, healthier, and more confident, whatever stage of life or fitness journey you are in.
I am passionate about helping clients build a balanced and enjoyable approach to fitness and nutrition that feels realistic and sustainable. Together, we can create habits that not only improve your physical health but also fit naturally into your lifestyle.
Alongside my experience teaching fitness classes such as group cycling and Power Pump, I am also completing a degree in psychology. This allows me to support you not only physically, but mentally too — helping you build motivation, confidence, consistency, and the right mindset to achieve lasting results.
My aim is to give you the tools, support, and encouragement you need to turn fitness into a lifestyle you genuinely enjoy and never want to give up.

I first started working with Christian after realising how great he was as a teacher in one of the classes he runs. He is a very thorough and knowledgable personal trainer and is very patient with me. I have a goal and he is helping me reach that goal and I feel much stronger as well as feeling more confident in the gym. Christian is also very personable and puts me at ease always. I really enjoy working with him and hope to continue!

I started my training programme a few months ago with Christian’s guidance and support, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.
Going to the sessions is a real pleasure. Christian has a very supportive and encouraging approach when it comes to both coaching and motivation. He is always attentive and knows exactly how to help you achieve your goals — and even push beyond them!
He helps you unlock your full potential, build confidence, and make real progress. And the results speak for themselves! I’m genuinely delighted with what I see in the mirror and with what I’m now capable of doing.
I would highly recommend Christian to anyone looking to start training or to make effective progress in their fitness journey. Definitely worth booking a session with him!

On a professional level, Christian is extremely responsible. After assessing your physical condition, he advises you on the type of training best suited to achieve your goals. Christian manages to convey an enthusiasm for exercise that extends beyond our sessions together, and in a short time, I've experienced genuine physical improvement and acquired healthy lifestyle habits that leave me feeling much more active and energetic.
On a personal level, he is extremely respectful, attentive, and polite, and he motivates you to bring out the best in yourself. I highly recommend him as a personal trainer.
Thanks

I would definitely recommend Christian as a personal trainer. Since working with him, I’ve gained so much more confidence in myself and in going to the gym. I feel much more comfortable using the machines and no longer feel intimidated when I walk into the gym.
I’ve also noticed an improvement in my posture and I’m feeling stronger, both physically and mentally. Christian has helped me work towards achievable and realistic goals, while making sure the training is suited to my needs and abilities.
He is very professional, friendly, approachable and easy to work with. He really listens to my goals and needs and makes me feel supported throughout the process.
I really appreciate his knowledge and his approach. I’m looking forward to continuing my progress and seeing what we can achieve together.
I would definitely recommend Christian to anyone looking for a personal trainer who is supportive, professional and genuinely cares about helping you succeed.

I've always been active, but when you're over 70 and have taken breaks in between, it's hard to establish healthy, lasting routines without getting injured. Christian is a top-notch professional. I couldn't be happier. He designed a training plan specifically for me and makes all the necessary adjustments to ensure my performance is always optimal. Besides his professionalism, he's a friendly and attentive person, always making sure you're comfortable. He knows how to get the most out of you within your limitations and encourages you to try to overcome them in every session. At the end of each workout, you feel like you've taken another step towards your goals, and the satisfaction is undeniable. Another aspect I particularly like about him is that, perhaps due to his studies in psychology, he views sport within the framework of the whole human being, along with nutrition, mindset, self-awareness, etc. He conveys a pleasant sense of overall balance. I highly recommend him!

Getting back into the gym after a long break felt a bit intimidating at first, but Christian made it so much easier and kept me motivated throughout!
He showed me how to use machines I hadn't used before, made sure my form and posture were right, and explained everything clearly so I felt confident doing the exercises on my own.
I really enjoyed training with Christian and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get back into the gym, improve their training or approaching the gym for the first time!
Thanks!
