Thanh's Profile
Birthday: 29.04.1994
Based in: Kronberg (Taunus)
Career start: 2015
Biggest success: Qualification for the calisthenics and street workout world championship 2018 in Moscow, Call Out 5 Champion 2020 in NYC, Judge for World of Barheroes 2019, Fibo in Cologne, Bodywheightday in Vienna 2019 (biggest calisthenics event worldwide)
Hardest setback: Luckily, there haven't been major setbacks (it should stay that way!)
Life goal: To change the world in a positive way. I firmly believe that everyone has the potential to achieve incredible things. Some years ago, I would never have thought where this sport would take me today. That's why I want to help people to strengthen their not yet developed energy by not only training their muscles with bodyweight training but also strengthening their body control and body awareness.
No. 1 travel destination: Los Angeles, California
Personal Idol: I wouldn't call it idols but I find some people inspirational for different areas of life, e.g., Christiano Ronaldo, Kelvyn Colt, Jim Rohn, GaryVee, my MOM
Favourite Calisthenics Spot: Venice Beach in California and the Hafenpark next to the European Central Bank in Frankfurt
Another sport you would love to try: Motor Sports! I would love to take part in a race with a sports car one day.
Coolest place you've ever been to: That's a tough question. If I would have to decide, I would pick Los Angeles, California. I love the vibes there!
One thing you wish you would've known at the start of your career: How to warm up properly for a freestyle calisthenics session and how to work on one's flexibility and mobility.
Best advice you have ever received: "Do what you love and love what you do" and "No risk, no fun"
