Personal training in Cologne
that truly fits your life
I will help you train regularly and enjoyably – with an effective plan tailored to your goals and your daily routine.
Most of my clients know exactly what they want. The problem isn't a lack of willpower – it's that between work, family, and everything else, exercise and proper nutrition are always the first things to fall by the wayside. Or that they train, but somehow feel like they're not making any progress.
I'll make sure that stops. The foundation for firmly integrating something into your life is primarily finding joy in it and noticing how good it makes you feel. Imagine a healthy lifestyle is your new standard, and when you look in the mirror, you're happy about what you've accomplished.

About me
Max Mantel-Eisinger
Personal Trainer & Performance Coach
I'm Max – a personal trainer with 18 years of experience in strength and fitness training. I also hold a Master of Science in Exercise Science & Coaching from the German Sport University Cologne, the highest qualification for trainers in Germany. I was a German champion and member of the national powerlifting team, and as deputy national coach, I've mentored elite athletes at the national and international levels.
Today, I enjoy working with ordinary people who are caught up in their daily lives just as much – perhaps even more. While in competitive sports, athletes invest an enormous amount of effort for a mere 2-3% improvement per year, I have witnessed tremendous, sometimes life-changing progress in my personal training clients over the same period.
My approach: no pointless trends, no empty promises – but methods that truly work and that you can integrate into your daily life in the long term. I help you lead a healthy lifestyle that makes you feel good, through the joy of movement and an understanding of your body.

Thomas
What I particularly appreciate about training with Max is his well-thought-out approach and the way he clearly explains why I'm doing something. This makes me train much more consciously and I feel increasingly independent. He's also very attentive and empathetic, and always tailors the training to my individual needs. The sessions are challenging, but that's exactly what motivates me to stick with it. I look forward to the next training session every time.

I have had many personal trainers, but Max had proven to be the most knowledgeable, focused and professional. His attention to technique and continual progressive approach to training meant my strength, flexibility and fitness improved. His gentle nature, depth of knowledge and commitment to his clients is unsurpassed.
Dietmar
I wouldn't want to miss training with Max anymore. He's very empathetic and knows exactly when to motivate, when to explain, and when to push me a little harder. The sessions are intense, varied, and always well-structured. I've not only gotten fitter, but I also feel like I'm learning a lot about my body. For me, these are definitely the best workouts I've ever done.

Nutrition coaching
without prohibitions, without false promises, without making you feel bad.
Most people have a general idea of what healthy eating means. The problem isn't a lack of information – it's the many persistent half-truths and habits that constantly sabotage one's progress.
In my nutrition coaching, we first clear things up: What's really true, what's a myth? Then we look together at which routines and strategies fit your everyday life and your preferences – not some ideal that doesn't work in real life.
For me, evidence-based doesn't mean a strict plan you have to stick to. It means solid foundations, individually tailored.
Here's what that looks like in concrete terms:
Detailed guidelines as a knowledge base
Close support via a specialized app
Regular communication via chat, weekly (video) calls if desired.
The goal: You learn how your body works and how nutrition affects you. You know what you're doing and why – and can confidently manage your food intake in the long term. Whether it's weight loss or sports nutrition, I'll help you.
