Giuseppe is 42 years old, born in Frankfurt, and a successful entrepreneur, meaning he's far from a novice when it comes to his career. He worked for many years as an investment banker. Today, he co-founds food brands with well-known influencers, runs his own company, and lives the everyday life of a modern entrepreneur. But what many don't see from the outside: even a high-performing mind needs a strong body, and that's precisely where his journey with Mainperformance began.
Here you'll discover how Giuseppe managed to develop new physical and mental strength from chronic back problems and fitness frustration, and why targeted personal training has transformed not only his energy levels but his entire quality of life.
When Giuseppe joined Mainperformance, his goal was clear: „I finally wanted to do something for my physical health again.“ Like many managers, he was struggling with the classic ailments: back pain, tension, and general weakness that gradually become noticeable from the age of 40, but sabotage one's own performance as the pace of life increases.
What was particularly frustrating was: Giuseppe had tried again and again. Three gym memberships – zero consistency. His calendar was full, his will was there, but everyday life always won.
„I was a classic paper-pusher.“
What was missing was Commitment. A system that not only trains, but also bears responsibility. A counterpart that not only demonstrates technique, but senses when it's time to challenge and when to protect.
„I need someone who knows me, challenges me – but also thinks along.“
What convinced Giuseppe about Mainperformance from the very beginning was the professionalism. He trained with Dennis Naab, the MP founder, from 2013, and has been there continuously since the Mainperformance Personal Training Studio opened in 2019. Not because he „wanted to do more sport“, but because he felt:
„I need someone who knows me, challenges me, but also thinks along.“
From day one, it was clear: no off-the-shelf solution would be used here. Here, we ask, observe, plan, and then provide targeted support.
The goal at the outset was simple, but crucial: eliminate back pain and return to a resilient, functional body.
But what Giuseppe quickly realised was that personal training at Mainperformance didn't just affect his body, but also his mind. Less pain meant more energy. More energy meant more clarity. And more clarity meant more power for his business.
„I didn't expect my daily work life to change, but suddenly I had energy again.“
The personal trainers grasp without many words what Giuseppe can achieve today and demand exactly what is necessary for progress, without overwhelming him.
Not a rigid routine, but a training plan that adapts to his daily life and continuously evolves.
An appointment in the calendar is a promise to oneself. This structure helps Giuseppe to stick with it and not fall back into old patterns.
More strength, less pain, better sleep, more energy at work. The training doesn't just work in the gym, but permeates their entire everyday life.
„I didn't expect my daily work life to change at all.
But suddenly I had power again.“
Giuseppe is now fitter than ever. Not just compared to his pain-ridden state five years ago, but even compared to his 30-year-old self.
„Today, I claim that at 42, I'm fitter than I was at 30.“
He can complete 15 clean pull-ups, trains consistently, regularly adapts his plan to his goals, and remains flexible throughout. What particularly excites him, however, is the trainers' ability to recognise his daily form even before he mentions it himself.
„On days when I've had little sleep, the trainers notice it immediately. Then it's active recovery. And on other days, they push me to my limit. I'd never manage that on my own.“
Giuseppe isn't a professional athlete. No biohacker. No person with endless free time. He's an entrepreneur, a doer, a father. And his challenges are not the exception, but the rule for people in positions of responsibility.
What makes the difference?
Not the perfect plan.
But the next step.
Giuseppe has decided to take responsibility for his body seriously and have support with him.
If you're currently struggling with energy loss, back pain, a lack of structure, or stagnant training results, then the solution might not lie in the next YouTube workout.
But in conversation. In listening. In real care.
That's exactly what we're here for at Mainperformance.
