The 12th FT Summit in Munich, organised by Perform Better Europe, has grown to over 700 PT’s. Approx. 30 sponsors supported the event.
Many US speakers such as the renowned Mark Verstegen, Michael Boyle and national experts like Dr. Eberhard Schömmer provided high level content for personal trainers.
FMS (Functional Movement Screen), Animal Moves and further seminars provided practical tips to better serve the clients of the future and to stay ahead of the competition.
The FT Club has now reached 30 locations in five countries and is growing. So is the confidence of PT’s in their career path, as more of them are opening their own studios.
„The PT market is continuing to grow rapidly in the DACH region“, observed Hannes Thies, MD of PBE. This the largest of its kind in the DACH region, with attendees coming from as far away.

This year, I decided to celebrate my birthday in Verbana and Lago d’Orta, Italy. We spent the day with my friend Gianluca Scazzosi (whose birthday is on the same day) and his wife Sofia.

I am looking forward to a longer journey in August: Flights to Reykjavik, Iceland and Toronto, Canada, where I am celebrating my mom’s 93rd birthday, and attending the CanFitPro Convention. I am also looking forward to spending time with my Toronto-based family together with my children Felicia and Julian.
