When I first started at Barryās, I wasnāt sure if I belonged.
The Red Room felt big, loud, and fast ā and I was just trying to find my footing.
New country. New community. New rules.
It took time. It took patience. And a lot of 3-2-1s.
But little by little, I stopped trying to blend in.
I started bringing more of me into the room.
Now when the red lights hit my brown skin, I donāt feel out of place.
I feel seen. I feel strong. I feel like Iām exactly where Iām meant to be.
Thank you @nisharavji for making me look good in the red room!
Sometimes you just need to take the leap. Thanks @beat81 and Berlin for making new feel familiar. #coaching #careerchange #fitness
@leander.rp for the šø
@nisharavji for the š¹
@youssefsherif for the additional!
Whenās the last time someone actually asked you what you need?
It would be easy to use AI to create opinions on what coaches think. I thought it was better to just ask.
I surveyed on IG and 50 coaches in Berlin responded. The results are in this post.
Studios fail to retain coaches because they donāt listen to them. When coaches feel heard, their opinions acted on, and connected, they stay.
This is what I need as I look to build and launch studios this year. More listening, more action :)
Swipe through and send this to a studio owner who needs to see it.

Turns out the best personal best is just doing your thing and feeling good about it. Less chasing, more living, more laughing, and definitely more loving. Danke Q1!
FIBO 2026, @maria.graffelder tells me sheās looking for someone to lead Functional Strength at @yttp.official . I spent about 30 seconds mentally going through my contacts before I looked her dead in the eyes and said āā¦thatās me.ā
Grateful she agreed.
Weāre building something simple, done really well. The best coaches Berlin has to offer and a version of functional strength that actually makes sense. Canāt wait to show you what that looks like.
Thankful to the @playhousefit community for speaking my praises and for @einfachnurpetra , the coach whisperer :)
Iāve been on a long journey of coaching classes for the last 3 years and naturally it leads to people asking you to help them open studios :)
Iāve spent the last year going from instructor to consultant without really planning to. and now iām opening two spaces of my own in berlin this year, which means everything iāve been telling other people i now have to actually do myself.
this carousel is what iāve been learning along the way. save it if youāre in fitness. send it to a studio owner who needs it š

Survived 30 hours without food in the pasta capital of the world, and now Iām explaining it to you in beginner German. Make it make sense.
Honestly, going from 3 whole pizzas to absolutely zero food is a wild ride, but it was the ultimate reset button to clear out all that stored water weight and glycogen. To survive an Italian fast without losing my mind (or my muscle), I kept my protocol super simple:
@sunday_natural Electrolytes + Water: When you fast, you flush out water and essential minerals. These are the āspark plugsā that stop the dreaded fasting headache.
L-Carnitine: The āUber driverā that shuttles your stored fat directly into the furnace to be burned for energy so you donāt crash.
Aminos: Everyone is obsessed with peptides right now, but peptides are literally just made of amino acids. Giving your body these essential Lego blocks protects your lean muscle while your body does its thing.
Has anyone else ever attempted a crazy fast on vacation just to hit the reset button? Let me know below. (Und bitte verzeiht mein Deutsch!)
