Andrea Nigg
Stimulating the circulation, endless sweating and body shaping – all elements that Andrea loves and passes on in her workouts. Starting off with personal training she found her way to Balboa where she enjoys the liberty of being able to “do her own thing” – and that’s what makes Andrea an individual and unique coach.
Andrew Monk
Andrew is a passionate, energetic and enthusiastic fitness professional with profound knowledge and many specialisations that come with 15 years experience. “I like to focus on overall health and wellbeing of everybody who comes to my training.

Erich Züger
“Everyone is the architect of his own fortune. Every morning’s glance at the mirror should satisfy yourself – not only because of the six-packs, but also because of the gut feeling.” This is not only Erich’s motto, but it also reflects his very own workout style: authentic, honest and customized.

Strong like Léonie. Léonie shows her strength not only during her training and in weightlifting competitions but also as an essential part of Balboa. You will see her and you want to follow her guidance.

Manuel Coimbra
From sports in exercise and health sciences studies to teaching sport lessons and personal training Manuel found his way to Balboa. Building up a training community and to burst anonymity are the key factors for him why Balboa makes a difference in the gym sphere.
Maria Pountou
Individual needs, the entire body and lots of laughter build an important trilogy in Maria’s everyday life. It’s not a great surprise that her lively character not only infected all Balboa coaches but also everyone in her class.

Paco Savio
Limitless, creative, unusual – that’s Paco, our Creative Director and Co-Founder, whose passion and goal is to create a phantasy and transdisciplinary platform where people can go beyond doing sports expressing their cultural values. He loves to get his inspiration from happenings on the street: whether it’s through music, art, theatre, science, architecture or design; he loves mixing strings that normally don’t belong together. The more of a patchwork the more unique. “It’s all about pushing boundaries and killing the limits to become something different and swim against the current.”
Rahel Bertschinger
Rahel is a Crossfit Level 1 coach and is passionate about her work. Her favorite movement is the handstand. Rahel’s signature words are not mainly words but you will see her often with the “thumbs up”👍🏽. And this is how you are going to feel in her class: uplifted!

Making your passion to your profession – and bring along your son to the workouts. That’s how Sandra started her personal trainer career where she gained joy and passion in coaching and working out. Sandra likes it unconventional, free and extremely creative – one of many reasons why she joined Balboa.
Sarah Lisa Yous
“Happy, satisfied and with great overall feeling” that is how everyone should leave Sarah’s classes.

He’s saving a piece of that strength for anyone.
Tommy Chang
“What goes around comes around” – that is how Tommy lives, trains and educates himself. In his workouts it’s all about turning the switch on and off. This is the most effective way to stimulate your body. He likes to pay attention to the individual and encourages everyone to join him for a trial session.
