About&Mission

Weights at Gym

Kevin Villiger

I am a former six-time Swiss junior national champion and men's national team player in Squash and have trained and coached beginners as well as other high-level players. I am also a martial arts enthusiast since childhood and have trained in Wing Chun Kung Fu, Judo, Shotokan Karate, Muay Thai, Boxing and MMA.

While fitness training used to be complementary to my Squash career and my martial arts training, it became a strong focus in the last few years after several back surgeries - and today, it is a passion. This background led me to dive into the intricacies of biomechanics, whereby I developed an expertise on how to link fitness training specifically to everyday physical activities, which is imperative for health benefits, and to movements in sports.

Along with my growing emphasis on my health and fitness, I started training friends and anyone who had an interest in fitness and martial arts privately, also advising them on how to approach stubborn pains holistically. Especially, I was able to help people with back pain through my own extensive experience with this issue, having dealt with it since the age of 16. This led me to pursue personal training as a full-time career after getting my first diploma as a fitness trainer (SAFS) in 2023.

Mission

My mission and goals are to inspire beginners to integrate health and fitness training into their lives, help intermediates maximize the results of their workouts, and boost the performance of sports enthusiasts in their favorite sport. Also, it is a matter of heart to help people relieve their back pain due to my long personal history with this issue. Regarding both training and teaching, I believe in simplicity, efficiency, and a process-oriented mindset.

Testimonials

Weights at Gym

Bereits fleissig im Gym, aber du möchtest einen Boost?

 

„Ich trainiere bereits mit einem Personal Trainer und mache auch ausserhalb des Gyms sehr viel Sport von Mountainbiking bis Skifahren. In nur einer Session habe ich von Kevin viel Wertvolles über meine physiologischen Grundlagen wie meine Postur, Muskelaktivität, Dysbalancen oder meine Mobilität/Flexibilität gelernt, und er gab mir konkrete Empfehlungen, wie ich eines meiner wichtigsten Fitnessziele schneller erreiche!"“

 

Robin H.

Wanna get rid of your back pain and back to your favorite activities?

„Before working with Kevin, I used to train in pole dance, but I started to have intense back pain that made everyday movements difficult. During my recovery, my goal was to get rid of the pain and return to my favorite activity, Pole Dance. Kevin helped me identify and strengthen my weaknesses - which was poor muscular endurance and a lack of coordination between muscle groups. He guided me through basic movement patterns and strength endurance training. Now, I have no back pain and I’m back to doing what I love with more energy than ever."

 

Alba A.

Profi-Sportler auf der Suche nach dem gewissen Extra in der Athletik?

 

„Kevin war mein Trainings- und Mannschaftskollege in der Squash-Nationalmannschaft. Doch nach seiner aktiven Karriere endete unser gemeinsamer sportlicher Weg noch lange nicht; Denn dank seiner Expertise im Fitnessbereich - besonders wie Gym-Work spezifisch mit Bewegungsmuster in Rückschlag- und anderen Sportarten zusammenhängt - kann ich jederzeit von seinem Wissen profitieren, um spezifische Bereiche zu verbessern und innovative Ideen in mein Training zu integrieren!"

 

Nicolas M., Squash-Profi, Welt-Nr. 26, 14 facher CH-Meister

Möchtest du noch schneller werden?

 

„Als ambitionierte Hobby-Triathletin bin ich immer auf der Suche nach Optimierungspotential. Kevin hat mir geholfen, meine Athletik und Kraft spezifisch auf die Anforderungen von Swim/Bike/Run zu verbessern. Heute fühle ich mich so stark und fit wie noch nie und bin voller Vorfreude auf die kommende Saison!"

 

Nadine P.

Wanna get in shape despite being super busy at work?

 

„I want to get in shape for my wedding in a few months but struggled to do so alone since my work life is very demanding. Hence, besides fun and challenging training sessions in the gym, Kevin helps me with integrating my training sessions into my everyday and weekly schedule in a smart and effective way!"

 

Amaia P.

Sollen deine Muskeln nicht nur gross, sondern auch funktional und athletisch werden?

 

„Ich trainiere zweimal pro Woche im Gym, um meinen Muskelaufbau zu fördern und meine physiotherapeutischen Ziele zu unterstützen. Da ich auch sonst gerne Sport betreibe (Bouldern, Tischtennis, etc.), hat Kevin mit mir Trainingseinheiten gemacht, die komplexe und funktionale Übungen beinhalteten, die meine Athletik verbessert und meine sportlichen Fortschritte gefördert haben!"

 

Damian S.

Auch Lust auf ein Fitness-effektives Kampfsporttraining?

 

„Ich bin ein grosser Sportfan und verfolge auch das Geschehen im Kampfsport - sei es MMA oder Boxen. Deshalb hatte ich grosse Lust, nebst meinen vielen sonstigen sportlichen Aktivitäten mal selbst ein Kampfsporttraining zu machen. Kevin hat mir auf spannende und simple Weise die technischen Basics gezeigt, und besonders das Handpratzen-Training machte grossen Spass und war ein äusserst effektives und umfassendes Training!"

 

Michael S.

Noch am Anfang deiner Gesundheits- und Fitnessreise?

 

„Ich war schon immer sehr sportlich und besass auch ein Gym-Abo. Ich wollte aber nicht nur effektiver in meine Kraft, sondern vor allem auch in meine Gesundheit investieren - und deshalb mein noch etwas „wildes"“ Gym-Training auf ein solides Fundament stellen. Kevin hat mir und meinem Gym-Buddy auf einfache Weise und motivierend alle Basics gezeigt, worauf wir in kurzer Zeit von einem Einsteiger- auf ein fortgeschrittenes Level gekommen sind! Zudem haben wir ganz einfach viel mehr Freude an unseren Workouts."

 

Nik M.-C. und Joni K.
