1:1 Strength, Mobility & Somatic Coaching — Berlin & Online
1:1 Coaching
Built Around You.
Most programs add more. This one starts earlier — at the pattern underneath the problem. 1:1 strength, mobility, and somatic coaching built around you. Online and in Berlin.
“There is no separation of body and mind. There is no physical condition and mental condition. There’s only the human condition. ”
— Marcel Gedo Badek
Change The Pattern. Not Just The Output.
If you’re here, you’re probably deciding whether this is the right kind of coaching for you. This is the heart of it: I don’t just give you exercises. I change the pattern underneath the problem so your progress actually carries over into real life.
Most training adds more: more load, more exercises, more intensity. My work starts earlier than that. I change how your body organises itself — drawing on somatic coaching, movement science, and over a decade of advanced calisthenics practice — so strength, mobility, and confidence are built on something real, not layered on top of compensation.
Awareness Before Intensity
If you can’t feel what’s happening, you can’t truly change it. We build sensitivity first, so the body stops moving on autopilot.
Structure Before Load
We rebuild positions before we stack strength on top of them. That’s what makes progress feel stable instead of fragile.
Integration Over Isolation
Everything we train has to carry over into how you actually move, recover, and live — not just how you perform one exercise.
Consistency Over Complexity
Simple work, repeated with precision, changes a system. You don’t need more novelty. You need a practice your body can trust.
In practice, that might mean slowing movements down instead of pushing harder, learning to use muscles you’ve been bypassing, and rebuilding patterns that actually support you. The goal isn’t just more strength. It’s a body that feels stable, capable, and connected.
This Works If You're Ready
You're Done With Generic Programs
You've tried the apps, the plans, the templates. They work for a week, maybe two. Then life takes over and you're back at zero — because nothing was built around your body or your actual life.
Your Body Feels Like a Stranger
Stiffness, pain, disconnection. You sit all day, move poorly, and feel it. The gap between how you want to move and how you actually move keeps growing — and stretching alone isn't closing it.
You Want More Than Physical Results
Strength and mobility are the entry point. But this work reaches deeper — into confidence, presence, and what it actually feels like to be at home in your own body.
You're Ready to Stay Consistent
Not motivated — consistent. You need a system and a coach who holds the structure on the days you can't.
If this is landing — the next step is one conversation.
Apply NowHow It Works
We Design It Together
Your first session isn't a workout — it's a conversation. We map your body, your life, your constraints. The program comes from that. You own it because you helped build it.
We Refine as You Move
Weekly 1:1 calls. Daily support via direct channel. Video feedback on your form. The program adjusts to you — not the other way around.
You Leave With a Practice
Not dependence — ownership. The habits, the awareness, the foundation are yours. I'll connect you forward to wherever you want to go next.
Not A Trainer. A Practice.
Most coaching focuses on what you do. This focuses on how you experience it . Every session is designed to bring you into your body — not just put it through its paces. That matters when you’re dealing with recurring tightness, shoulder pain, poor movement patterns, or strength that never quite translates into control.
I draw from over 10 years of advanced calisthenics — freestanding handstand push-ups, planche, front lever, one-arm pull-ups — disciplines that demand total mind-body integration. That's the foundation of the strength coaching work here: real capability, built from the ground up. More about Marcel's background →
And I draw from philosophy, psychology, and somatic inquiry — because the body and the self aren't separate problems. If you're stuck in your head, we work on that. If there's shame in your body, we work on that too.
Human-centered. Non-dogmatic. Your body. Your pace. Your life.
Physical development is a medium — a vehicle for deeper personal transformation. We are always in the process of becoming. The question is: becoming of what? Becoming who?

In-Person Training
For those based in Berlin or passing through — 60–90 minutes, fully personalized, with your individual program and ongoing support.
In-person work allows for something online can't fully replicate: real-time hands-on correction, presence, and the felt sense of training with someone who has done this for over a decade. For clients in Berlin seeking movement therapy or hands-on strength coaching, this is the deepest level of work available.
Includes your individual program and ongoing support between sessions.
Where Do You Want to Go?
Beyond the physical, my work is grounded in philosophy. Movement is thought made visible. The body is how identity is lived — not just described.
Every session holds space for this. The question isn't just "how do you move?" — it's "how do you want to feel? Who do you want to become?"
Philosophical Counseling
Sometimes what's needed isn't a training program. Sometimes life itself is the challenge — and what you need is a space to think, feel, and find your footing again.
I offer philosophical counseling for people navigating the places where meaning seems difficult to find, or has been lost . Grounded, direct, drawing from philosophy, psychology, and the wisdom traditions. Available in person in Berlin and online worldwide.
Movement and counseling can be combined or pursued separately. Your path determines the practice.
Loss of Meaning or Direction
When the path forward isn't clear and the old structures no longer hold.
Existential Crisis
Deep questioning of identity, purpose, and what matters. A dark night of the soul.
Body Image & Shame
The stories we carry about our bodies — including sexuality, confidence, and self-worth.
Transitions & Change
Major life shifts — relationship, career, identity — that call for deeper reflection.
Common Questions
Because stretching addresses the symptom, not the cause. Tightness is usually your body protecting a pattern it doesn't trust — a joint that's unstable, a muscle that's switched off, a compensation that's been running for years. Until we address the pattern underneath, the tightness keeps coming back. That's where this work starts.
A trainer gives you exercises. This gives you a practice. The focus here isn't on output — reps, sets, weight — but on how your body organises itself. We work at the level of pattern, not just performance. That's what makes the results carry over into real life instead of staying in the gym.
Less than you think. The core of this work is short daily practice — 10–15 minutes — designed to repattern how your body organises itself. Not long sessions, not another workout to fit in. Each practice is built like a plug-and-play module: targeted, specific, addressing the patterns that matter most for your body right now. You do it daily, it compounds. That's what creates real change — not volume, but consistency applied to the right thing.
Because most programs are built for an average body, not yours. When something is designed around your specific patterns, your actual life, and your real constraints — and adjusted week by week as you change — it stops feeling like something you're supposed to squeeze into. That's the difference.
No. Some clients come in with years of training behind them. Others haven't moved consistently in a long time. What matters isn't your current level — it's whether you're ready to pay attention to your body and do the work consistently.
Most people stay stuck here for years. Not because they don't try — but because they keep solving the wrong problem.
The Pattern Changes Here.
One conversation to find out if this is the right fit. No pressure, no performance — just an honest look at where you are and where you want to go.
