What we stand for

Our philosophy

Our goal is to fully understand each participant's individual needs and to assess their current situation and fitness level precisely. Based on this, our training programme is developed individually, so that athletic performance, general fitness and personal well-being all improve in a lasting way. It is essential to always keep the individual in focus and to make sure every participant is coached and supported individually.

As the heads of OutdoorAthleten, we – Tobias and Alex – are both true sports enthusiasts. We bring years of personal experience, expanded by five years of university studies, numerous further trainings and work in a wide range of settings. Over the years we have not only kept learning, but have also developed a deep understanding of what really works in training and related areas such as nutrition – and what are just empty promises. On this basis we have built a clearly structured, effective approach that has proven itself and lets you feel your progress straight away. With us you don't get generic blah-blah, but training and coaching that move you forward.

So you no longer have to worry about your training and everything around it – you can simply get started and let us guide and advise you!

The founders

Alex & Tobi

Alex

Owner

Physiotherapist · Osteopath · Sports scientist

My name is Alexander Beckmann. I've known Tobi since the sports entrance exam at Heidelberg University. We studied there together and, after graduating and working in different jobs, had the shared idea of founding Neue Physio and taking over OutdoorAthleten.

So I'm one of the two owners of OutdoorAthleten, as well as a physiotherapist, osteopath and sports scientist. Besides my job, I'm passionate about strength training, science and coffee. I stand for varied, intense and needs-based training. You're in pain, want to lose weight or do something for your health, but aren't sure how? Together we'll find a way for you to join group training with fun and energy, feel good afterwards and make progress!

Tobi

Owner

M.Sc. Sports Science

I've loved fitness for over 12 years and practised several sports passionately before and during my studies. Studying the science and complexity behind training and nutrition showed me how demanding the path to a stronger or leaner body can be. Unfortunately I often see misinformation and false promises that don't hold up in reality – which annoys me, because they don't help anyone. My big wish is to help every individual in their training and transformation in a well-founded, structured way, and to reach their goals together.

Weightlifting and martial arts help me build confidence in myself and my body and keep me fit and resilient.

Our approach

Clarity in the information jungle

In all the years we've worked in this field, we've learned a lot about which training concepts or diets don't work, or which just market well but are often a short-lived hype – or can even lead to health problems (fear, worry or avoidance). We may have made some mistakes ourselves in the past, but we learned from them and kept developing and training ourselves. Since new information rains down on all of us every day (Instagram, TikTok etc.), a clear, science-based approach – in training and everything else – is extremely important to us. We want to give you clarity and direction in this information jungle!

Trying a 6-week crash diet from TV or a magazine, copying your favourite influencer's training plan or the miracle weight-loss shake from an Instagram ad – you won't find any of that with us. We value joint planning based on your needs and situation and a sensible long-term structure and progression towards your specific goal.
