Training For Success
BACKGROUND
Had the pleasure of sitting down with a great personal trainer here in Zermatt, Switzerland. Catalina Fahlmann is an intelligent, driven young woman, with a Masters Degree in Sports Medicine from University of Sweden(Umea, which includes an o above the a in the Swedish alphabet).
At a young age, Catalina first began her serious interests in sports with soccer, than became more focused on running sports as she matured. After gaining leadership skills in the Swedish Navy, much understanding and knowledge about the body, Catalina wondered how she could create something that included all that she acquired academically and from personal experience. A vision that was motivating, inspiring and could be shared with others. That’s where HAPPItraining was born. An acronym for Health And Physical Performance Instructor.
TODAY
Nestled in Zermatt, Switzerland, Catalina physically trains various groups of people with much enthusiasm and knowledge. I ought to know, I am one of her clients.
From prenatal to post natal, from the serious individual who wants to change their physical well-being from the inside out, to the serious athletic mind looking to reach a goal of excellence within. No matter the sport, she offers personal/group training, interval training, marathon training, corporate team building training, massage, healthy recipes to nurture the training body, and puts together invigorating trail-running events of all kinds.
One popular run for example is the Steil ist Geil Run. Runners begin at the foot of the Matterhorn Trail in Zermatt up to Sunnegga (1270m distance/ 580m Altitude). Prizes are given and all the runners are congratulated and lavished with a delicious barbecue, enjoying the company of many sport enthusiasts’ alike and gorgeous views of the surrounding Swiss Alps. An exhilarating training experience, and surreal atmosphere that should not be missed nor would it be forgotten!
No matter the goal, no matter the sport, Catalina’s workouts inspire the inner drive to succeed. She wishes that every client could feel the joy, the ecstasy that she feels when answering that innate feeling of body awareness and self- achievement within.
