“Like many other women, I still had a memento of – in my case two – pregnancies, which had mainly spread across my stomach and hips.

Losing weight is definitely a matter of mindset. If you really want it, you can do it. But losing weight in the areas you really want to lose it in is a challenge that isn't just a matter of willpower. I've always been more or less athletic, but somehow I felt a bit powerless in this case.

At the end of summer 2016, I reached the point where I finally wanted to do something about this stubborn belly fat and was looking for a combination of healthy eating and targeted exercise. And I was looking for someone who would advise, monitor, and motivate me.

From that point on, I didn't have to look far, because I'd heard from an acquaintance how incredibly well she'd gotten her body into shape with relatively little effort. I was truly amazed that her figure had changed so much after such a short time with training and a controlled diet, and that everything had become so much firmer. It was a no-brainer – I absolutely wanted that too! No sooner said than done – I had a trial training session at the HYPOXI Studio in Dornbirn with Silvia, and afterwards she gave me excellent advice on nutrition, tailored to my specific needs.

I left the HYPOXI Studio feeling euphoric and knew, this is MINE! The atmosphere in the studio is very pleasant – very calm. The time commitment, with 30-minute sessions three times a week, is minimal, and the physical exertion is moderate. Even those who are out of shape can manage this training – it's all about the heart rate, which is constantly monitored.

Within the first two weeks, I had already lost 4 kilos – which, of course, motivated me immensely. Everything settled down so well, and the kilos melted away – not as quickly as at the beginning, but I had reached my first goal – 10 kilos by Christmas. But what was much more important were the many centimeters I had lost, especially around my stomach and hips, exactly where I wanted to lose them. My stomach came off relatively quickly; it hadn't been there as long as the fat on my hips. After about two months, Silvia predicted that this stubborn layer of fat on my hips would be next. Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical at first, but she was right! I could hardly believe it when suddenly there was a shift, and my figure had really changed! Everything looked firmer – my silhouette was simply more beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt comfortable in my own skin.

Well, that's how it looks at the moment, and now we can get started – training for a summer body. Because in summer there are no long coats and baggy sweaters to hide your figure under!

So, let's get down to business – on to HYPOXI! In closing, I'd like to say that I never thought I'd be sharing my "body-related" journey so publicly. But after all, I'm one of so many women searching for the perfect method to lose weight and, more importantly, to get in shape – so I know that any good advice is appreciated. That's why I had to do this. This method is absolutely effective. If you follow Silvia's nutritional advice in addition to regular exercise, nothing can go wrong!

Good luck to you all!
