Your first meeting with your coach – It’s all about you
Your journey at the VITENSO Health Center begins with a personal consultation with one of our experienced trainers. This consultation is all about you: What are your goals? What experience do you have? Are there any health issues we should be aware of?
Together, we will determine how your training can best fit into your everyday life—completely customized and suitable for everyday use.
A body analysis (e.g., with InBody measurement) will show you where you currently stand—with values for muscle mass, body fat, and metabolism. This data is the perfect basis for your personal training plan.
Your training plan – effective, personalized, and motivating
Based on the conversation, your trainer will create a plan that suits you, your schedule, and your goals.
With Premium Fitness in Darmstadt, we focus on a smart concept that combines training and regeneration in a balanced way.
A typical beginner’s plan includes targeted strength and endurance exercises on modern equipment, supplemented by functional elements for greater mobility and stability.
Your trainer will explain everything to you step by step, pay attention to your technique, and show you how to train safely and effectively.
Tip: Start slowly—it’s better to use controlled movements than too much weight. This gives your body time to get used to the new strain.
This is how your first training session will go – step by step to more energy
The first training session is mainly about familiarizing yourself with the equipment and procedures.
Start with five to ten minutes of warm-up on the treadmill or cross trainer. Then follow the individually tailored exercises from your plan.
Stay focused, breathe evenly, and perform each movement consciously—this will help you train effectively and achieve your goals.
Finish with a short cool-down or stretching session to relax your muscles.
Training together – Fairness and respect in the gym
For us, fitness in Darmstadt means more than just training—it’s also about community.
To ensure that everyone feels comfortable, our motto is: consideration and respect come first.
A few simple rules can help:
- Place a towel on the equipment.
- Put weights back after use.
- Please refrain from making phone calls in the training area.
- Pay attention to cleanliness—especially in changing rooms and showers.
Friendly interaction is simply part of the VITENSO Health Center experience—because training is twice as much fun in a positive atmosphere!
Mentally strong and physically ready – How to get off to a successful start
A successful start to training begins in the mind.
Set realistic goals and remain patient—progress counts, not perfection. With each session, you will become stronger, more flexible, and feel more energetic.
Schedule fixed training times so that fitness becomes an integral part of your daily routine.
Also, make sure you get enough sleep, eat light meals, and drink plenty of water. Even small routines—such as going for a walk during your break—can help you stay active.
Nutrition – Your fuel for better performance
At the VITENSO Health Center, we know that exercise and nutrition go hand in hand.
A balanced, protein-rich diet supports muscle growth, while carbohydrates provide energy.
Eat light and easily digestible foods before training—e.g., fruit, yogurt, or whole grain products.
After your workout, protein-rich snacks such as quark or a protein shake will help you recover.
And of course, drink plenty of water—especially after intense sessions.
Regeneration – How to recharge your batteries
After training is before training!
Treat yourself to some warmth, a massage, or simply a few minutes of peace and quiet to regenerate your body and mind.
Short breaks between your training days, stretching, and exercise in the fresh air help keep your body fit.
Celebrate your progress, record your achievements, and stay motivated—perhaps even together with colleagues. Fitness in Darmstadt is simply more enjoyable when done together!
