Be stronger than your excuses.

Fitness for women. Realistic, achievable, authentic.

NEWS

I have moved from Berlin to Portugal in December 2022!

What that means:

I don’t offer personal training in Berlin any more, but am selling workout plans, programs and e-books (more info below).

WHY work with me?

I am extremely passionate about my work. Helping other women become physically and mentally strong and lead a happier & healthier life is my chosen mission.

Most of my clients are women who are starting out as complete fitness beginners. Training with weights, especially at the gym, can be intimidating. This is how I started off myself! With all my experience, I can make your life and fitness journey a lot easier.

At the end of 2022, I have relocated from Berlin to Portugal.

We can speak German and English.

“After a year of focusing on my career I made the decision that it was time to take care of my body. I used to be really fit and was eager to get back into shape. After a long break, it was really hard finding the motivation to enter a gym on my own. That’s why I reached out to Antje! She is absolutely inspiring, and her dedication is contagious. Antje and her personal training in Berlin were exactly what I needed to find a regular workout routine.”

“The company I work for has a gym and I tried working out there by myself. However, I didn’t know what exercises would be effective for me. My goal was to lose some weight and feel fit. Antje provided the structure I needed and explained everything really well. I was happy to see that the workouts she assigned to me started showing results really fast. They also helped me relieve my back from long working hours behind the desk.”

Antje is a great coach! We started when I was completely out of shape and she was happy to adapt the workouts as I got fitter and lost weight. When I found out I was pregnant we continued working out and again changed up the workout each week depending on what I could or couldn’t do! It was so great to have someone that was super flexible and when one exercise didn’t work, was able to switch directly to another! I’m excited to continue training once my baby is here!

“Working very long hours I have recently been struggling a lot sticking to a workout routine and eating healthy. Antje’s customised workout plan, nutrition advice and mental support have helped me so much and I have been seeing incredible progress.”

HOW
you can work with me.

If you are on a budget but would like to learn how to lift weights with a structured program, then my BARBELL BADASS program can be for you! It is available in German and in English. This is a “one size fits all”-program. If you prefer your own custom workout plan, you can order it here and we will work together to create the best one for your needs.

If you looking at my website because you are starting your own career as a personal trainer, I have something for you: My e-book that gives you full guidance how to build your business (available in German only).

WORKSHOPS
at Gold's Gym, Berlin Spandau

On two floors and 5.300 m2, this Gold’s Gym flagship gym is a training paradise! Enjoy our sauna and chill-out spa area after the session. I don’t offer continuous personal training here, but you can join my workshops.

You don’t need your own contract in order to participate and use the gym after the workshop. Message me on Instagram if you would like to join.

NEXT WORKSHOP: Saturday, 10.09.2022. –> “KREUZHEBEN. Lerne wichtige theoretische Aspekte und überprüfe danach mit mir deine Ausführung.”

How will you train?

Every client is different and so are their training needs. Whether you are a complete beginner or someone who brings fitness experience, workout plans are 100% customised for every client.

I am specialising in strength training for women. This means that your training will involve weights. We will make you stronger and work on improving your coordination, stability and balance.

Based on your goals and needs, we will figure out the right workout plan for you. As a qualified trainer I am able to progress each client in a specific way.

Quality first

While no personal trainer in Germany is legally required to hold any licenses, a solid education is a must in my opinion. Right after that, it’s the work experience that strengthens a trainer’s skill set. Make sure to check out my client reviews below to get a feeling for my clients’ happines.

Who is Antje?

I’m a manager of teams and companies in the software industry who decided to pursue a second career to follow a passion:
Enabling other women to become strong, confident and get the body they are feeling beautiful in. For 6 years, I have focused on working in person with women at the gym. I have gathered a ton of experience to find the best solutions for my clients.
These days, I am a full-time manager in a software company, but still work with women as their online fitness coach, or in person if time and location allows (I live in Portugal). I am specialised in strength training for women with a focus on physical and mental health and happiness.

I was born in Germany in 1985 and a very unathletic child. I didn’t do any sports as a child or teenager. Only the ending of an unhappy and controlling relationship and 2 miscarriages got me into strength training when I was 28 years old and feeling my weakest, physically and mentally.

My online programs and eBooks have been created with all my knowledge and passion, based on my qualifications and experience as a personal trainer. The heart of these programs are my awesome clients with all their struggles and progress. And myself. I have come from zero to being super athletic and strong in only a few years with no help. I am making it easier for other women to do the same.

Don’t waste your time with inefficient training!

I can’t recommend Antje enough! If you’re looking for an attentive personal trainer who puts down lots of effort to understand your body, limits without losing track of your fitness goals – Antje is your girl 🙂 Not only is she highly professional and skilled, she has a lovely energy to be around. I got 4 incredible work out schedules alongside with videos for each and every exercise. In our 2 sessions she helped me with technique and made me feel much safer. Absolutely recommending booking her for trainings too, I will be back as soon as I get a job 😉

I started training with Antje after the end of the lockdown to ease my way into exercising again and gain more confidence in lifting weights.
Antje is a great trainer and made me feel super comfortable from day 1. She knows exactly when I need to be pushed and challenges me at every session.
I’ve not only been able to gain some muscles and strength, but I have also seen a huge improvement in my confidence and feeling about my body.
I can 100% recommend Antje as a PT and I’m already looking forward to our next session.

Ich habe mit dem Training bei Antje angefangen, weil ich meine während des Lockdowns gewonnenen zusätzlichen Kilos wieder loswerden wollte, aber auch, um stärker zu werden, damit ich beim Klettern und Bouldern Fortschritte mache. Ich war/bin ein absoluter Neuling beim Krafttraining und die Vorstellung ins Fitnessstudio zu gehen war nie mit Freude verbunden bei mir. Zu Beginn hatte Antje dennoch prophezeit, dass ich Spaß am Training haben werde nach einiger Zeit. Ich war sehr skeptisch und habe es einfach nur als Mittel zum Zweck (Abnehmen und stärker werden) gesehen. Tatsächlich sollte Antje Recht behalten. Das Training mit ihr macht mir mittlerweile wirklich viel Spaß und ich freue mich jedes Mal darauf. Ihre ruhige und ehrliche Art beim Training und auch in den netten Gesprächen zwischendurch schätze ich sehr. Über den Prozess innerhalb von nur 10 Wochen bin ich super erstaunt, glücklich und sogar ein bisschen stolz. Ich selbst steige noch nicht durch das Trainingskonzept durch. Das liegt aber daran, dass ich wenig frage und das ganze gedanklich erstmal abgegeben habe. Ich bin gespannt auf den weiteren Prozess und freue mich auf die zukünftigen Trainingseinheiten.
