Melanie grew up in a family of runners and has experienced the fascination of running from an early age. At her athletics club, Melanie coaches young athletes as well as adults across a wide range of disciplines and distances. Melanie studied sports science at the University of Basel, completed various training courses in running with Swiss Athletics, and loves to be active in the mountains. She works shift hours and therefore knows from personal experience how challenging it can be to coordinate irregular working hours with regular training.

Melanie Weilenmann was formerly an ambitious amateur athlete focusing on running performance. She ran the marathon twice in under three hours (PB: 2:59). After experiencing menstrual cycle disorders herself, she shifted her focus and has since been deeply engaged with the specific needs of women in sports. She supports women through all life stages – from fertile years to motherhood and menopause. Today, her focus is on hormonal balance in training and the sustainable integration of movement into daily life. She has acquired extensive knowledge in female-specific training and continues to educate herself. Melanie coaches women with a holistic approach: individual, practical, and scientifically based. Her personal experience as a mother and athlete makes her an authentic companion for all women who want to train ambitiously yet body-consciously. She coaches in German.
