This isn't a gym you walk into. The listing is filed under "consultant" and "service," the address is a residential street in Ditzingen, Germany, and the reviews describe one-on-one personal training with Thomas, sometimes in a studio and sometimes outdoors. So treat this as a private trainer, not a floor of machines you swipe into at 6am.
What the 4.6 across 10 ratings actually is
Small samples lie easily, so let's do the arithmetic. The average is 4.6 over just 10 ratings. That works out to almost exactly nine 5-star reviews and a single 1-star. One unhappy client already pulled a perfect record down by four tenths. If two more had a bad session, this number would look ordinary. With a solo trainer, the score is really a measure of personality fit, and a sample this thin can't tell you whether you'll click with him.
The strongest reviews are specific
The good reviews carry real detail, which is what makes them worth reading. A December 2017 client wrote (translated from German) that after seven months he had lost 12 kilograms in five weeks, held the loss for three months, and reduced the pain in his calcific shoulder so far that "I wanted to have it operated on; that topic is now completely off the table." He also described the sessions as jogging "interrupted by exercises with dumbbells and resistance bands" in his garden. An October 2017 client, a former competitive athlete, credited a two-sessions-a-week plan before her wedding. Concrete outcomes like a cancelled surgery beat any generic praise.
Where the record contradicts itself
One May 2020 review (translated from German) calls it a "very nice studio, well equipped with everything you need," while other clients describe training in a garden. Both can be true: a private trainer often works indoors and outdoors depending on weather and goal. But if location matters to you, don't assume. Ask where your sessions would actually happen.
The one bad review
A February 2024 reviewer wrote in English: "Unfortunately, they were very unfriendly and dismissive; I cannot recommend them." There's no detail to weigh it against, and it's a single voice, so I won't build a case on it. I'll only say the score isn't unanimous, and with a trainer this personal, a bad first-meeting fit is exactly the risk.
What's missing
No review states a price. One English review says "worth every penny," but nobody says how many pennies, and a phrase like that pretends to be information without being any. Private training is priced per session or per block; you'll only learn the number by calling +1... the German mobile listed, +49 174 9148960. There are no posted opening hours, because a private trainer books by appointment.
Who it's not for
Anyone wanting anonymity, drop-in access, or a big equipment floor. This is bespoke coaching for people who want a plan and a person, not a turnstile.
