Patrick Treiber – Athlete, Coach and Entrepreneur with CrossFit Treibstoff

26-year-old Patrick Treiber first came into contact with the sport of CrossFit in 2015.

During his bachelor’s degree in fitness economics, he worked in a conventional gym and encountered this training philosophy through friends and work colleagues. The passion gripped him and he integrated more and more elements into his daily workout routine – until he finally started to focus on training CrossFit in 2016.

Just 2 years later, Patrick decided to open his own box. “During my studies, I really enjoyed helping people to live healthier and enabling them to achieve their goals.” But it quickly became clear to him that this is hardly possible in an impersonal gym setting.

When the chance opened up to realize his dream, as a hall became available in an industrial area in Rohrbach, Patrick stepped in. “This made it possible to set up my own setting in which I could help people with the training philosophy of CrossFit to improve their fitness.” Thus, “CrossFit Treibstoff”was born.

Seven days a week, he offers classes for his members. There are special classes such as gymnastics, weightlifting, kettlebell, endurance and yoga but also daily CrossFit classes. During the lockdowns, he offered home workout programs with video tutorials, Zoom live classes, health challenges, running and mobility programs with daily videos to his community.

But Patrick is not only an entrepreneur and coach, but also an athlete. When asked how to manage to get everything under one roof, he replied: “It definitely requires a lot of discipline, energy and some sacrifices.” And it would not be possible without the support of his girlfriend Luca, who takes over the remaining classes at CrossFit Treibstfoff.

A typical day with Patrick looks like this. Every day starts with the morning classes for his members, followed by his first training session as well as work or errands to be completed. In the afternoon or evening, he gives another set of classes again and is doing his second session. “In between, there are three to four meals and one or the other snack,”, Patrick is joking

Despite this triple burden, he has already achieved some success. For the 2022 season, Patrick had planned to reach the semifinals (formerly Regionals/Sanctionals) of the CrossFit Games. But he already fulfilled this goal this year. “I am overjoyed about this and now I want to confirm it.” For Patrick, his most beautiful experience does not include a single competition, but many unforgettable moments. “With the entire Treibstoff community, I have been able to experience countless indescribable moments within the pit and at various competitions over the past three years.”

He is very grateful for that. In order to be able to concentrate even better on being an athlete in the future, he wants to expand his business. “Even without my presence and work, it should work at a high level and thus give me more flexibility and time for my training and new things.”
