About

Richard Staudner

After 13 years in management in Austrian corporations, a new journey began for me in 2008. I was one of the men who brought CrossFit and functional fitness training to Austria. In doing so, I significantly changed the fitness scene in this country.

After building five gyms, a group practice and many other projects, it was time for me to take a new path in 2018 and dedicate myself to a new passion. 

My goal was to create a completely holistic performance concept, which considers and supports the human being in its entirety.

I understood that mind and body are to be seen as a unit and we should consider the environment, the lifestyle and all influences of life. Furthermore, I do not see individual body functions or even individual organs, but try to understand cause-and-effect and to recognize connections. 

Both high performers such as managers, doctors, pilots, etc or even competitive athletes should benefit from this view. Focus on the potential and the goal. 

THE EXPERIENCE
More than 100 lectures, about 7,500 coaching hours with health enthusiasts and coaching more than 50 domestic and international athletes in 10 years allowed me to gain a lot of practical experience. 

The content of my work and publications is based 50:50 on successful practical experience and scientific studies. 

THE SCIENCE
Studying clinical psycho-neuro-immunology under Dr. Leo Pruimboom and Dr. Markus Stark, gave me the opportunity to combine my practical experience with a scientific, evidence-based and holistic approach. 

Customers such as the Austrian Ski Association, the Federal Sports Academy Vienna or the Austrian National Bank have placed their trust in me and I have met their expectations. 

Many international managers and athletes like Marcel Hirscher, Aleksandar Rakic or Fadi Merza could benefit from my system in the last years.
