OUR STORY

MEET THE FOUNDER

CHRISTOPH SAUERBORN

OWNER & HEAD COACH

Christoph’s passion for fitness stems from his basketball career. He played basketball from the age of five all the way up to the collegiate level, where he played for the NYU Men’s Basketball Team.

He started his training career by working as a freelance basketball instructor – working with boys & girls in a 1-on-1 and large group setting throughout high school and college.

After playing and training for basketball for most of his life, Christoph discovered something: it wasn’t the sport that he was most obsessed with, it was the training.

And when the COVID-19 pandemic struck, Christoph found himself without a court to train at, leaving him feeling lost mentally and physically. Lucky for him, he had a home gym where he was able to reinvigorate his love for training and discovered the true beauty of what fitness has to offer.

While receiving his Bachelor’s Degree in Finance from the NYU Stern School of Business, Christoph decided to retire from his basketball career and start a new one as a personal trainer. A few years later, Christoph expanded his skill set to nutritional coaching, specifically with a weight-loss focus.

Since then, his passion for helping others fall in love with training, and his desire to help others receive the amazing benefits of a fit lifestyle, led him to found BornFit Training Academy.
