Michaela Süßbauer

Michaela Süßbauer is an internationally active expert in fitness, lifestyle, and dance who inspires others with her energy and zest for life. Having started out in an office job as an industrial clerk, she has turned her passion into her profession. Since completing her training in 1999/2000, she has been passing on her knowledge and enthusiasm in fitness classes, her own camps, and retreats. Today, she focuses on online courses and individual online personal training in order to combine her work flexibly with international events and projects. 

Michaela works for the IFAA (International Fitness Academy) as a trainer and speaker at the academy and in vocational training, where she passes on her many years of experience with great enthusiasm.

Under the motto “We are better as a team!”, she organizes retreats and camps that combine fitness, dance, and sports such as skiing, via ferrata, and kitesurfing. Many participants report “life-changing” experiences—because it's not just about exercise, but about community, joie de vivre, and unforgettable moments.

A particular passion of hers is the dance event “BACHATA and MORE,” which she created together with her dance partner and which focuses on music, dance, fitness, and above all, joie de vivre. Michaela loves to motivate people to try new things and find joy in movement. Her courses and events are characterized by energy, inspiration, and an infectious zest for life.

Irina Warmbach

Born in Bamberg in 1989, Irina is a passionate trainer for various group fitness and body & mind concepts. However, her true love is yoga and meditation. She has been teaching since she was 16 and discovered yoga at the age of 24. In 2019, she developed the YONGA concept together with Christian Spörri and the IFHIAS Institute. Irina is also a trainer for WellFit-Aktiv Robins in the field of yoga and meditation.

Her passion is to share the message that change and development are possible through the combination of simple and gentle movements and mental focus. Often, less is more, and simplicity offers greater potential for connecting with oneself—with the body, mind, and soul.

Maja Fritzon 

For Maja, movement is a source of strength, energy, and self-confidence. Growing up as a dancer, she began her career after four years of professional dance training and gained many years of valuable stage experience. Through this intensive work with her body, posture, and expression, she discovered her passion for yoga and Pilates, which has been the focus of her work ever since. Today, her focus is on the mat, where she helps people develop balance, strength, and inner clarity.

Her classes are lively, powerful, and inspiring—sometimes dynamic and energetic, sometimes calm and mentally strengthening. It's not just about movement, but about feeling the connection to your own body, recharging your batteries, and leaving the class feeling stronger. This clearly shows what Maja stands for: Strong Body. Peaceful Mind. Joyful Life!
