Raphaela Hefti
MSc in Sport, Exercise and Health

RH Personal Training was launched in 2020 through my passion and expertise in the areas of sport, exercise and health. My journey into the fitness world began at the young age of three when I first started gliding on skis, and continued for years with tennis, badminton, soccer, ballet and a range of dance genres such as hip-hop and traditional folk dances, as well as horseback riding. My childhood was a testament to my boundless energy and love for movement.

 

At the age of 16, I discovered the world of fitness, sparking a flame that would only intensify with time. With an insatiable curiosity about the human body and its functions, I pursued an academic path and earned my Bachelor of Science in Sport Science from the University of Bern in 2016. This was followed by a two-year Master's program in Sport, Exercise and Health at the University of Basel, which I successfully graduated from in 2019.

Throughout my academic journey, I have didn't just study theory; I lived it by diving into part-time training roles and delving deep into the complexities of strength, endurance, flexibility and coordination. My own experiences with training and nutrition, coupled with a steadfast commitment to ongoing education and self-reflection, have shaped me into a detail-oriented and passionate trainer, dedicated to the holistic well-being of her clients.

At the heart of my approach is my persistent commitment to tailor each training session to the individual needs, abilities and desires of my clients. While I thrive on challenging them to reach new heights, I maintain a delicate balance, ensuring that they are pushed but never overwhelmed. In the realm of RH Personal Training, every client is met with personalized care, guiding them on a transformative journey towards their fitness goals with precision and passion.
