70% of your training success depends on what you do in the kitchen! Our nutrition expert can give you specific recommendations for your personal situation.

OUR CLASSES

Expert training classes

Our classes are organized around four areas of fitness to give you the most benefits and help you reach your goals faster. To see the coming classes, check out the calendar.

HIIT

This workout generally combines short bursts of intense exercises with an even shorter period of recovery time. The session is designed for 45 mins of non-stop PUMP. You will be using the kettlebells, TRX and your own weight as resistance. So get ready to feel that heart pounding to the beat!

STRENGTH

You will learn the most important techniques, such as squats, press and deadlifts from scratch. This training is aimed at both absolute beginners and advanced users who want to improve their technique and gain power. You will be pushed to your limits and lift heavy under a safe environment. The trainer will guide you on how to increase your lifting weights while making sure you master each step to that!

BOXING

This workout gives you strength, endurance, agility and speed in one. Obviously, here you get sweaty and you will feel the burn every minute. Give it all, power up and have fun.

MOBILITY

Mobility has been forgotten by many but it is now making highlights again. Here in IGNITE mobility is top priority. We teach and educate you on the importance of mobility while incorporating it in all our training as having great mobility helps you to easily execute lifting and movement techniques at ease. So get moving!

TESTIMONIALS

What our clients say about us

4.8 out of 5 on Google

Since 2016, IGNITE.FIT has been helping hundreds of Berliners to get in shape and reach their fitness goals.

"I am so happy I found Sillse! I was able to become an enthusiastic runner once again, after struggling with any cardio activity for the last 8 years due to respiration problems. She always made me feel comfortable and safe which allowed me to progress quickly. Her expertise helped me to get an overall better form while running which significantly lowered the impact on my knees and prevented me from wasting my energy (not swinging my arms anymore around me).After 2 months of running with her, I felt comfortable for the first time to go on a run by myself in years. Her training had a significant impact on my overall health and I am super motivated to work out with her. Looking forward to the next milestones.

The training with Dinesh is really amazing. He adjusts the training to my personal needs and limitations while still pushing me in a healthy way. I never had a personal trainer before who understood the physiology of bodies so well. Dinesh truly focuses on the full picture to achieve your goals in a healthy and sustainable way. Really looking forward to when sessions are possible again!"

Get started with your training

"Thanks to training with Dinesh and Sillse every week (3x) and intermittent fasting (16-8) I was able to completely transform my body. Important to note that I was already training 3-5 times per week before and eating relatively healthily… I believe especially 2x per week training with heavy weights w Dinesh as well as balancing this with HIIT with Sillse was key. Also learning that was enough vs trying to train every single day was eye opening for me. Massive thanks to both Dinesh and Sillse for their help!"

The difference is due immediately. Notice of termination must be given in writing in accordance with clause 15.2 and must be received by IGNITE House in good time; an email does  satisfy this written form requirement. The relevant start of the contract is decisive for termination at the end of the minimum term.

A fee of 10 Euros shall be charged for each rest period commenced. The number of rest periods is not limited.

Dinesh Ramakrishnan

My Strengths: Strength and conditioning programming & training, body toning, Postural and Motor Behaviour correction, Post Rehabilitation, Pre/Post Natal training, Mobility & Stability Training & Multi Level Functional Movement training.

Born into a family of fitness enthusiasts & doctors, from a young age I have actively engaged in sports like wrestling, football, rugby and powerlifting. During my military career I suffered two injuries to my lower back (herniated disc) and shoulder (rotator cuff tear) which changed my career pursuit as an engineer to a sports scientist. I was eager to figure out a way to rehab myself in quick time to enable me to move around without painkillers and do what I liked. So the journey started and I was able to achieve what I wanted, ever since then I am passionate about inspiring people to become a better version of themselves against all odds physically and mentally.

I combine a scientific background from my studies with years of international working experience in the field of sports and sports rehab to allow me to effectively coach a wide range of clients to move freely without pain.
