Andy
Meyer
Andreas has a long-standing passion for sport and fitness. His interests extend beyond conventional training methods, as he is always looking for new challenges and lesser-known fitness equipment such as maces, clubbells and rope flow.

Andreas' deep connection with sport led him to become a personal trainer, where he not only deepened his knowledge, but also shared his enthusiasm and expertise with others. The founding of Uetligym marked a turning point, as it embodies Andreas' vision of holistic training. The gym is not just a gym, but also a community, using traditional fitness equipment and innovative methods he has discovered along his athletic journey.

Andreas' dedication has made the Uetli Gym a unique destination for people of all fitness levels. His story is an inspiring example of how passion, education and a willingness to explore can lead to a fulfilling career in fitness.

Alain

At the same time, he completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter, worked in this profession for several years and travelled the world on an exciting journey. In 2018, Alain started training to become a qualified personal trainer. This marked not only a career change, but also a desire to share his experience and love of exercise. Alain sees this as an opportunity to support people on their journey and help them achieve their personal goals. His broad background knowledge and lifelong love of sport form the basis for personalised coaching.
