DOMINIC STOECKLER,
HEAD COACH
As a former international tennis professional, Dominic is no stranger to hard work and dedication. After numerous surgeries and a life-changing blood disorder, he chose to focus his energy on furthering his education.
He traded his tennis racket for university books and continued his education in business, medical technology and innovation, exercise and nutrition, and more. His passion for lifelong learning took him around the world for 15 years – from the USA to China.
Dominic spent seven years working at one of the largest global healthcare companies, where he was chosen for their international leadership program.
His passion for training, nutrition, and health eventually led him to leave the corporate world behind and dedicate his time to people just like you.

OUR NUTRITION CONCEPT.
a lifestyle approach - eat yourself deliciously fit.
Eating healthy is complicated. Not really. Eating healthy seems complicated because of the abundance of information on food, weight loss, disease prevention, and what you should and shouldn’t eat.
Do you want to perform and feel your best while not spending more time than necessary thinking about nutrition? Start with the basics. Master the basics. The basics are not replaceable.
do you want a short-term fix or a lifestyle?
Food isn’t good or bad, it simply requires context. The word diet shouldn’t be associated with quick fixes. It actually comes from the ancient Latin word díaita, which means way of life. We believe in creating sustainable eating habits that suit your individual goals and needs.
our nutrition philosophy revolves around:
a flexible mindset
satiating and
nutrient-rich foods
your lifestyle design
look, feel and perform your best
with sustainable
