ROBUR on a Private Level: Power woman and German champion – Melina Matz

Melina is still very much active these days, but in a much more “moderate” way. And sport still takes up a lot of space in her life. She gives classes 4-5 days a week as a LESMILLS instructor in a fitness studio in Bremen. She also does online classes via video in these pandemic times. Body Balance (a mix of yoga and Pilates), Body Pump (a special workout with barbells), Body Combat (a type of shadow boxing) or Body Attack (a high-intensity cardio workout) are the courses from the international programme run by the company based in Auckland, New Zealand. Yet the more “classic” programme with “abs-legs-butt”, jumping (on the trampoline) and back fitness are also part of her sporting portfolio. “I really love getting other people excited about sport and helping them to do something for themselves. When you’re on stage, you’re already slipping into a small role, then before you know it, you’re a role model and a motivator.” The courses have been running purely on screen for the last few months (as of May 2021) and Melina hopes that the studios will be able to open again soon.
