Meike Helmling2025-05-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stefan hat das Trainingscamp, das ich in Hvar besucht habe, begleitet und ich konnte in den Tagen extrem viel von ihm lernen in allen drei Disziplinen. Vor allem die videogestützten Lauf- und Schwimmanalysen haben mich sehr unterstützt und weiter gebracht. Er erklärt die Fehler sehr gut verständlich und gibt einem viele Übungen zur Verbesserung mit. Zudem hat er bei den Einheiten danach auch noch korrigiert und Tipps gegeben, so dass ich es auch praktisch gut umsetzen konnte. Nachfragen wurde n immer ausführlich, nett und gut nachvollziehbar beantwortet! Andrea B2025-04-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich habe Stefan als Coach eines Triathlon-Camps kennengelernt. Die Erfahrung war sehr positiv und hilfreich. Stefan ist ein kompetenter und engagierter Coach. Seine Tipps waren sehr wertvoll, man merkt, dass er fundiertes Wissen besitzt und dieses gut vermitteln kann. Ich habe Stefan als einen sehr angenehmen Menschen erlebt. Seine wertschätzende, ruhige Art habe ich sehr geschätzt.

Danke für dein Feedback, und weiterhin viel Erfolg! Johannes Otterbach2025-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was working with Stefan within the confines of a week-long triathlon training camp. We did running and swimming analysis and drills. He has a very patient and calm personality with a keen eye for details. The analyses were thorough and precise. I went away from them with immediately actionable feedback and could implement all the tipps more or less immediately. Stefan also took the time to review my implementation and adjust where needed. Despite only having one week, the results were immediately noticeable. The running pace increased while HR stayed constant, showing a clear efficiency improvement in my running form. For the swimming, I was able to shave of several seconds of my 100m time just changing a few easy elements in my stroke, without major disturbance of my (still beginner-esque) rhythm. I can highly recommend Stefan if you're looking for a calm coach that gives you great and detailed feedback on your run or swim performance. I enjoyed woking with him and look forward to all the improvements I can make while implementing his hints.

Jaweria Hanif2025-03-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A highly recommended training group.

Thanks for your feedback, it was a pleasure having you in the class! Der Typ2025-01-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich habe über ein paar Monate ein Lauftraining mit Stefan genossen. Dieses begann mit einem Treffen, bei dem er meine Lauftechnik begutachtet und korrigiert hat. Alleine das hat mein Wohlbefinden beim Laufen schon erheblich gesteigert. Die weitere Trainingsbegleitung hat mir dann zu erheblichen Fortschritten verholfen. Die Laufeinheiten waren oft herausfordernd, aber immer machbar und gut an mich und meine Bedürfnisse angepasst. Ich laufe nun schneller über längere Distanzen, fühle mich dabei besser und habe nun noch mehr Spaß am Laufen. Durch die bessere Lauftechnik habe ich nun auch keine Probleme mit meinen Knien mehr. Stefan war immer zur Stelle mit guten Ratschlägen, Motivation und Beratung in allen Fragen rund ums Laufen. Ich empfand die Zusammenarbeit als überaus gewinnbringend und möchte sie nicht missen.

Danke für dieses kurze und knackige Feedback Martin, und weiterhin viel Spaß beim Laufen! E. K. Irgil2024-12-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. Helwing recently gave me a running form review. It was excellent. He observed and corrected my posture, arm movements, ankle and foot engagement and more. He also gave me exercises, recommendations on training towards my goals, access to form relevant videos for me to use in the future, a summary and all the answers I needed. I am more than pleased with the instruction I have gotten and excited to get back into running!

I learned to swim as a child, and just weeks later, I was jumping off a yacht into the deep Mediterranean Sea.
I feel comfortable in the water, but I know it’s not like this for everyone. That’s why I’ve developed a swimming method specifically for adults, one that trains both body and mind.
With us, you’ll improve your swim as naturally as riding a bike—understand, feel, and never forget. We give you the freedom and security to feel at home in the water because we believe that swimming is a basic right that everyone should enjoy.
Sports has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. After battling an injury and having 3 knee surgeries, I had to reset my focus. I discovered my love for swimming, wich was a difficult process, but worthwile in the end – because I discovered triathlon with it.
My fascination for this sport comes from the mental and physical strength that's necessary for it. Not only physical fitness, but keeping your focus, and conquering obstacles.
Today, my passion is guiding others on their path. I enjoy showing people what they can do, going the path with them, and helping them keep their focus. No matter if it's a goal in sports or in life, I'm sure that we're stronger together and can achieve more.
For the swim analysis, we use pools in Tiergarten, Schöneberg, Wilmersdorf, and Lankwitz. Additionally, some pools in Neukölln are available.
Our trainers are generally available from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Weekend appointments are available upon request. The demand in public pools varies by season; we’re be happy to recommend the best training times.
In our group class we'll teach you front crawl swimming based on 4 principles. You should have enough prior swimming experience to float and submerge your face in the water. Anything on top helps, but is no prerequisite.
The pool used for the class is about 1 meter deep, so you’ll be able to stand comfortably.
You only need swimwear and goggles; we provide everything else.
Don’t worry about being too inexperienced or clumsy—our trainers are very empathetic, stay in the water with you, and help every participant feel comfortable in the water.
In the course, you’ll learn our method for floating and moving in the water in freestyle. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to do front crawl from one end of the pool to the other, relaxed and on your own.
You have your swim trainer all to yourself. This means 60 minutes of focused input, constant feedback, and precise analysis of your movements.
With the trainer by your side in the water, you’ll learn faster than in any other setting—we can show you the exact exercises that work best for you. Your trainer will also get to know you better and can adapt to your unique learning process.
The swim analysis is tailored just for you: we adjust the time, date, location, and approach based on your needs. If your back is tense and you're struggling to breathe, we can include mobility training. If you’re uncomfortable swimming around others or dislike splashing water, we’ll find optimal times when the pool is less crowded.
The swim analysis includes close support, with a personalized training plan and clear communication via chat or phone to support your success.
Injuries during swim training with a trainer are rare; we teach you healthy swim techniques from the start. If you do get injured during training, we’ll support you with a fast and effective recovery and work with you to identify the cause to prevent future injuries.
Costs depend on your individual needs and goals. The basic swim form check with 2 training sessions and a detailed plan is available for 469€.
Many people wonder why the price is what it is, and here’s why:
In short: You’re investing your precious time in improving your swim. We’ll do everything to ensure you reach your goal as quickly as possible. We’re very good at what we do, which means you invest once and then you can swim.
You need motivation, a goal, and swim gear (swimwear, goggles, and cap) along with an internet-enabled device for communication and access to online content. That’s it!
We provide any additional practice equipment (pull buoy, fins, etc.).
For the duration of your swim analysis (ca. 1 month), we recommend swimming twice per week.
Our approach is to train together once, then have you practice alone to see if you’ve absorbed the lesson. This way, you improve with each session and gain confidence.
You can sign up directly through the program by clicking “Book now” or contact us before you choose.
In any case, we’ll ensure that your goals align with our approach. If you identify with the descriptions on this page, you’re in the right place.
You won’t—that's a promise. If you connect with our method and are ready to learn swimming, we’ll make sure you feel at home in the water.
We’ll support you with all questions, concerns, and challenges and bring our 10 years of experience to every situation.
Absolutely! We’ve trained people of all ages and abilities, from high school graduates to retirees, and here’s one guarantee:
Strength and endurance aren’t the most important factors in the water. What counts is your mindset and body awareness, which we’ll train from the very first minute together.
In the end, it’s like riding a bike: once you learn, you never forget.
