Andreas 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.

Die tiefe Verbundenheit zu Sport führte Andreas zur Ausbildung zum Personaltrainer, wo er nicht nur sein Wissen vertiefte, sondern auch seine Begeisterung und Expertise mit anderen teilte. Die Gründung des Uetli Gyms markierte einen Wendepunkt, da es Andreas Vision von ganzheitlichem Training verkörpert. Das Gym ist nicht nur ein Fitnessstudio, sondern auch eine Gemeinschaft, in der traditionelle Fitnessgeräte und innovative Methoden, die er auf seiner sportlichen Reise entdeckte, zum Einsatz kommen.

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
Früh

Alain's athletic journey began in childhood and developed into a fascinating path that has made him a versatile athlete and dedicated personal trainer. At the age of 6, he immersed himself in artistic gymnastics, learning the basics and discovering the joy of movement. 

After 8 years of artistic gymnastics, Alain felt the need to try other sports such as kung fu, football, bouldering and slacklining. 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.
Andreas Wintsch

Die Sportkarriere von Andreas begann als 9-jähriger im Unihockey, wo er während 13 Jahren zahlreiche Erfolge auf nationaler Ebene feiern durfte. Durch eine schwere Knieverletzung wurde er dann gezwungen, neue Wege einzuschlagen und fand so später die Faszination am Functional Training, die er heute tagtäglich in unterschiedlichen Trainings an seine Kursteilnehmer/innen weitergibt.

Mit nur 22 Jahren begann also sportlich ein neues Kapitel und so begann Andreas, unterschiedliche Sportarten zu erkunden. Von klassischem Krafttraining über Sportklettern, Box-Kondition, Tennis, Velofahren oder Jogging. Je länger er diese Sportarten ausführte, desto mehr merkte er, dass ein funktionierender Bewegungsapparat die Grundlage für jeden sportlichen Erfolg ist. Dies brachte ihn zum Functional Fitness, in welchem er dann erfolgreich eine Ausbildung zum Functional Fitness Trainer absolvierte. So bringt er eine ideale Kombination aus Wettkampf- und Teamsport und einer Fachausbildung, das seine Ursprünge übrigens in der Physiotherapie hat.
