“I joined M.S. Europa on 4.10.07 for a three week cruise. I was somewhat unfit with blood pressure and heart stress. I enrolled with Liane Koch and have been having regular workouts under her supervision. I found her very knowledgeable and professional in her work as a result of which I am now in much better shape as I leave the ship and am determined to take her advice and keep up with the training.”
Harry N. Broughton, Wales, U.K.
"The idyllic cruise of the Baltic on the MV-Europe in June 2006 wouldn't have been the same without the daily aerobics courses with Liane Koch. Her well founded knowledge and friendly personality during group or private training sessions made the experience an added bonus. She even introduced me, a skier and golfer who has been jogging almost daily for the past 30 years, to the Flexi-Bar and X-Co Training. After some skepticism, I started to notice that these "tools" work miracles. I also really appreciated Ms Koch's expertise in incorporating all of the advantages of traditional training methods for strengthening muscles and stabilizing the torso. I don't want to have to go without her guidance in my daily sport regimen any more. It's hard to believe what a powerful change these exercises can have on the body and attitude. Thank you so much for your help. "

"My wife and I really enjoyed the personal consultations and group exercises on the MS Europe with Ms Koch. Because of our positive experiences, I engaged Ms Koch as a personal trainer to help me to improve my limited flexibility and back strength. Frau Koch gave us lots of new information and exercise options, which we practice daily to this day. We especially found her training plan and tips for exercise at home extremely important. We're especially glad that we can still consult with her and get her advice on our fitness plans. Many thanks."
Ruth und Hans Otto Bucher, Stuttgart
"We've had a wonderful experience having Ms Koch as our personal trainer. We especially enjoyed the variety in the exercise program and her attention to personality and health requirements. The training plan she conceived at the end of the trip to continue exercising at home has proven itself to be very helpful. We look back on our period of training with her with found memories."
Hansdieter und Helga Matthes, Management Consultant, Munich
"We were very satisfied with Ms Koch and her services on the MV Europe. It was very important to us that she fit the training program to cater to our individual needs. We have very much enjoyed the personal care she gave to her clients. Ms Koch is always friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic. The layout of her therapy and training area can only be described as ideal."
Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h. c. Horst Cotta und Ika Cotta, Munich
"I met Ms Koch on the cruise ship MV Europe in the capacity of personal trainer and gladly entrusted my fitness program to her. She is very competent and treated me from a holistic perspective: nutrition, body training, breathing, etc. She quickly assessed my needs and adjusted her plan entirely to what suited me best. This is very important to me, because I want to be treated based on my individual needs. I'm very happy that she was very consistent and disciplined during training, and was able to explain and assist well. I'm sure that with her goal-oriented attitude, her career future is a bright one."
Simone Solga, Cabaret Artist, Munich
"I found Liane very charming from the onset of our contact and decided to spontaneously entrust her as my personal trainer. I felt in good hands and understood as soon as we started training. She's a wonderful motivator, competent advisor, and organizes each session to be effective and full of variety. She was always attentive to my personal needs and wishes. Thank you, Liane, for the wonderful time and I hope we can do it again some time."
Dr. med Anette Gilsbach, Paediatrician, Saarbrücken

Many thanks for your well-founded care in regards to my injured arm, including the practical exercises and precise written instructions. I'd also like to thank you again for your competent instruction on the Jacobson progressive muscle relaxation technique"

"I'm still doing the exercises with the Flexi-Bar, after buying one for myself, and find it to be a great balance to a sedentary desk job. I especially liked your peaceful and patient personality, even for the "fitness newcomers"."
Peter Größl, Tax assistant, Eging am See
"Hello Liane,
Thanks again for your cheery personality while guiding me with my sports activities. I had a lot of fun working together with you in pushing my personal athletic boundaries. The beautiful athletics field at the Aldiana´s Club certainly helped too.
All the best for you, and I wish lots of friendly athletes
Sincerely Ralf"

"Hello Ms Koch,
The guided training session with you was a lot of fun, and I've been using the tips you gave me in my regular fitness training. I never thought that working with the Flexi-Bar could be so beneficial fitness-wise and thanks to your guidance and motivation I've been able to regularly continue training with it as well."
Susanne Kutterer-Schacht, Manager Kutterer Kunststofftechnik, Karlsruhe
"I attended Liane's Pilates class at the Aldiana, Andalucia. She thoroughly explained the participants what each exercise was for and how to correctly perform it. I enjoyed the class so much. I booked her as my personal trainer to continue to improve on the Pilates technique and to work on other problems with flexibility. Under Liane's professional instruction and guidance I was able to learn various stretching exercises and received additionally a personally tailored nutrition plan. As I was still on vacation I began to notice that my general physical well being had markedly improved. Till this day I've been practicing at home a variety of exercises and not only has my flexibility drastically improved, I also feel more fit and energized in my daily life than I ever had before. I wish Liane much success and send her my thanks."
Sylke Keller, Travel agent, Altena
"Training with Liane Koch motivated me immensely. With Ms Koch's goal-oriented and professional support I was able to find enough swing and energy to remain physically active and fit for a long time to come. Much thanks for all you've done."
Barbara Kremers, Neukirchen-Vluyn
"On January 10th, 2007 Ms Liane Koch introduced to us the new fitness tool Flexi-Bar.
We are so convinced about the benefits of this practical fitness and training tool, we don't just use it in our private fitness hours, we've also implemented in treating our patients. We've found use for it in many different types of therapy, for example with patients who have suffered a stroke, neurological diseases, or sport injuries, as well as with children with bad posture. Even our patients are excited about the many different possible uses for the Flexi-bar. We'd like to thank Ms Koch for the professional and competent instruction of the different therapeutic options and variety of exercises that are possible with this device."
Katrin Nickerl-Löbel, Owner, Physical Therapy, Freiberg
"Dear Ms Koch,
I'd like to thank you again for the successful training session during my stay on the MV Europe and your supervision. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you using the different equipment and your help with my current health status.
At home I've been diligently practicing the exercise you taught me.
I'd especially like to work with you again the next time I take a cruise.
I wish you all the best
Your Gisela Pohl"
Gisela Pohl, Kleinmachnow
"I have found Liane Koch to be an exceptionally competent and professional personal fitness trainer. After her kind, straight-forward way, she showed me a personalized fitness program which I continue to use frequently at home after my vacation to Aldiana. She was also a very motivated group trainer and was always able to coax the peak performance out of the group members. From my own experience, I can unreservedly recommend Ms Koch as a personal trainer."
Paula Vlcek, cruise secretary, Turgi, Switzerland
"Dear Ms Koch,
I took part in your classes on our mountain peak tour in the summer of 2006 on the MV Europe.
We had a lot of fun together - sometimes the training was very difficult, but very effective!
Thank you for teaching me the technique so well. With the help of the trainings-DVD
I am continuing to do the exercises with my Flexi-Bar at home.
I wish you all the best and hopefully we'll see each other again this year on the MV Europe.
Sincerely Your Gisela Ostheimer"
Gisela Ostheimer, Kleinkahl

Your guidance has motivated me to become more proactive with my own personal fitness. Thank you!"
