Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
-Albert Einstein
After he got his Master Degree in Sports Science, Psychology and Education, Gerhard Maier founded GM Trainings to develop and execute training solutions for individuals and organizations.
While simultaneously working with elite athletes and leaders on the one hand and children / teenagers on the other hand, we found out that the principles for continuous improvement are basically the same. Therefore we developed customized analysis and training programs for various target groups as you can see on this website.
We cooperate with a huge network of specialists to ensure maximum support for our clients including medical doctors, psychologists, therapists, nutritionists and other experts depending on our clients‘ needs.
How can we help you or your organization respectively?
We are specialized in analyzing performance processes and developing solutions to improve and optimize them.
Therefore we need a written profile (email is sufficient) of who you or your organization and your goals are to decide if we see an opportunity to work for you.
For the case of a cooperation with us, you would be surprised of what we are willing to do to help our recipients reach their goals.
Feel free to let us know how you prefer to get in contact with us.
The original intention was to help professional athletes and other individuals to reach their goals not limited to athletic performance.
Meanwhile, GM Trainings can look back to more than 40,000 single coaching sessions with individuals referring to self-development and the optimization of psychological and physical performance. Additionally, there is a large number of client projects of which you can get a first impression on this website or www.bestoftraining.com
Our main areas of expertise from originally professional athletes are now offered exclusively to leaders and children / teenagers.
Of course, not all successes are the same. But we can promise you one thing in full confidence: So far, every person or organization we have advised, without exception, has significantly improved in their respective discipline. Improvements include, but are not limited to, increased physical as well as mental performance and optimization of processes in general.
“You are a real professional, Mr. Maier. But I think you don’t need to be told. I will never forget what you achieved with that child of my clinic whose chances for success were very low. Unfortunately, there are only rare opportunities to place a participant in your program.“
“As a result of your competencies and experience, I am sure you are able to measure a client’s parameters within the first meeting, no matter if it is a child or a professional athlete.“
“I can still remember you from my time at the clinic before I opened my own practice. You were ahead of your time when you walked around with your laptop and structured everything possible. Also from a scientific standpoint, I do believe in your work concepts.“
“I am excited about your holistic approach to helping clients. Especially the osteopathic method in the context of autism makes a lot of sense and is scientifically interesting. It is easy to recognize how your recipients trust you and what level of compliance they provide. You don’t hurry and always take enough time for evaluation meetings which is very helpful for defining the next steps. Great! Keep up the good work!“
“Always goal-oriented and friendly cooperation, focusing on the individual needs of the children and teenagers.“
“My experience with Mr. Maier was all about competency. He hasn’t developed a concept and tailors his clients accordingly. Instead, he and his team are tailoring the concept to each individual client.“
“In the context of his BestOf Training, Gerhard Maier and my practice have worked together in many cases to help young people, not only professional athletes, to analyze their problems and find appropriate solutions. I have to describe our cooperation as outstanding, very profound and professional.“
“I got to know Mr. Maier as somebody who listens very carefully with a great amount of empathy and experience, then analyzes the absorbed data and builds a foundation for collaboration with his recipient. This gift and his very consistent manner are a lifeline and a compass for young people in fast and challenging times. Thank you for that.“
“We look back on a decade-long collaboration with GM Trainings. Our teams are still excited about the often unconventional approaches and solutions provided by the BestOf Concept which are always optimized for the individual needs of each person. Our employees frequently report about quick solutions for very complex and challenging tasks.“
“You’re a breath of fresh air to the world of youth support. Sometimes your ways of solving problems are surprising and unconventional, but they are always based on a professional, holistic approach. The results you’ve achieved so far with the children placed in your care speak for themselves. I truly appreciate your dedicated and sensitive way of handling young people and their families.“
“From my point of view, the concept of bestoftraining pursues a holistic and systemic approach. The programs are effective, efficient and focus on the recipient.“
“With your BestOf Program you have continuously provided individual solutions for our clients. The results proof that your approach is successful. On behalf of my more than 100 employees, I want to thank you for the always open-minded and highly motivated cooperation.“
“In one of our last emergency meetings, I instantly visualized our client being part of your BestOf Program what eventually happended, and with success.“
“When I sit in an expert conference, I can tell you immediately when the BestOf Concept is the appropriate solution. I am more than pleased to continue our professional exchange.“
“BestOf Training hits the weak spot of today’s society. Goal-setting and perseverance are the crucial factors for mental and physical development. Success, balance and contendedness result from consequent work on the basics. The BestOf Training Program is what I consider an effective method to avoid people without orientation belonging to any target group.“
“Our work with you up to this point has been great. Our young talents have definitely profited from your screenings and workshops at the Olympic Base Camp.“
“Far beyond the subject fitness, BestOf Training is a program which does not only apply to top leaders and professional athletes like me, but to all people who want to exploit their full potential in Life. Take your chance now!“
“In the name of our whole management and team, I want to thank you for your testings and programs at the Olympic Center, especially for our young players. In only a very short period of time, you were able to improve even our best player.“
“Up to this point I haven’t had experts do an analysis about my overall health and performance like you guys did. The whole seminar including your recommendations at the Olympic Center was perfect. Thank you very much.“
“Thank you and your medical doctor for your first analysis at the staples. It would be a pleasure to invite you to watch me perform at the German Open in June.“
“Excellent work! The guys have never been supported with so much intensity before. The team is now physically as well as mentally ready for the finals.“
“The BestOf Training concept is excellent. You don’t only deal with physical training, but with your whole life and perspectives of your own personality. I didn’t know any similar programs before. The whole program is very well-structured and therefore easy to follow. At first, I was a bit sceptical, but I trusted my head coach who recommended Gerhard. Now I can see the results.“
“I have worked with Gerhard Maier for approximately four years now and was very impressed with his expertise. He was very knowledgeable and dedicated to making all of our players and team better. I enjoyed my time working on a team with Gerhard and highly recommend his services.“
“Gerhard has a wide range of expertise in training and coaching. Gerhard led many events and I have certainly lived through a long career of program directing, but Gerhard even surprised me with new and inventive suggestions for our programs. My only disappointment is that he will be working for somebody else instead of me.“
“Working under the direct supervision of Gerhard Maier in professional sports, I was able to accumulate a lot of knowledge and experience. Thanks to Gerhard, we don’t need to illuminate our rooms with candles anymore.“
“Gerhard Maier has a profound knowledge of sports and training in general. For this reason and the fact that he knows exactly how to motivate people, he has always been a very popular speaker and an enrichment to our institution. We are proud to offer an exclusive instructor certification created by Mr. Maier. This was only possible because of Mr. Maier’s initiative and hard work.“
“Mr. Maier received outstanding feedbacks in the context of our quality management. His cooperation and support is a huge success for our university programs.“
“With your optimism and motivating attitude, you quickly proved your competence and won my trust. Already during the screening it becomes clear how important you regard the people who put themselves in your hands. I’ve learned so much from you and hope we can work together frequently in the future.“
“Good morning Mr. Maier. In the name of our whole police academy, I want to thank you one more time for your great support.“
“When we decided to start a new fitness and health project in our school, Mr. Maier provided his concepts for our pupils. Furthermore, he successfully organized and directed a seminar for our teachers and supported a scientific research on children’s health.“
“I have known Gerhard Maier for a long time now from various professional contexts and personally. I am particularly impressed by how well researched he is, his always practical expertise, his energy and drive, which he has repeatedly used for the benefit of children and young people with special needs since at least 2001.”
“Dear Mister Maier. I don’t know where our students would find themselves today without your BestOf Program. You treat every single case with high levels of competence, intensity and perseverance. We have enjoyed you cooperating with our directorship because of your reliable, pleasant and dynamic way of working. I do really appreciate this fact. Thank you very much for your outstanding support and I hope we can continue our beneficial cooperation. Warm regards. Elisabeth Kick.“
“How our collaboration has worked so far? Simply brilliant. My impression is that your work really has
a profound impact. You integrate our public institution into your analysis and counseling. We are
permanently informed about what is going on which I haven’t experienced before. Last but not least
your way of dealing with people: a well-balanced combination of professionalism and a fine sense of
humor which is necessary in this field.“
“For our education manuals are used state-wide, we must carefully select specialists and institutions for their development. Gerhard Maier enjoys our complete trust as he previously proved his expertise and wide range of experience when he worked as a speaker for our sports foundation. He conceived and wrote the manuals for special topics in the areas training science, methodology and didactics.“
“I have really appreciated the collaboration so far. In every step of the work process, you can see excellence. Gerhard Maier has developed a great concept which helps young people pursue their own path.“
“Mr. Maier has initiated the development of a new IHK certification and worked on realizing the project with great effort. The main goal was to develop a very practical program with high quality standards that would satisfy customer needs perfectly. This task was managed very well by Mr. Maier. Working with Mr. Maier has always been very positive and productive. In the future, we will continue to count on his services.“
“Once again, Mr. Maier knew how to successfully maintain his authority as a teacher and at the same time build rapport with his students and be the guy they go to in challenging situations. Mr. Maier has absolutely fulfilled the expectations and needs of his participants.“
“Mr. Maier took over the presentation of the topics education, conception of manuals and preparation of students for their examinations. He motivated the participants through his exciting manner of teaching and helped the students deal with fears of not passing their exams. Because of the excellent experience we have so far with Mr. Maier, we intend to expand our cooperation in the future.“
“Gerhard’s high level of personal engagement and motivation made it possible to introduce the new health project in our youth center. The opening event and first teachings Gerhard and his team held have already been great successes.“
“Since you are willing to deal with challenging clients, I rate your work motivation as extremely high. Your work approach is very interesting because of its holistic approach and the fact that you incorporate various scientific disciplines. Therefore, your work in the context of the BestOf Program has to be considered as successful.“
“Mr. Maier, I’d like to thank you for all your advice and the good discussions we’ve had. It’s important to me to know that someone is concerned with me and gives me feedback. I would have come to see you if it had been only for five minutes. I’m really looking forward to our next meeting.“
“Gerhard Maier developed a personal training program called BestOf Training which covers all areas of life. The reader gets the opportunity to analyze all or only selected areas step by step, becoming aware of weak spots and learn how to improve in the context of the individual abilities. The clear structure of this guide makes it very practical and helps to actually succeed in real life. Therefore the BestOf Training has to be differentiated from conventional concepts about motivation and personal success in the market place.“
“Should I recommend the services of GM Trainings? Absolutely. The analysis procedures were outstanding. We were indeed able to improve the relationship between effort and reward.“
“Excellent, the whole package. Where else can you find such a variety of services? Isn’t it a dream to know that somebody really takes care of your health? I especially appreciate the individual approach what differentiates the BestOf Training from conventional programs. Gerhard and his people thoroughly investigate which experts they include for which topic. The whole program helped me to rethink everything I’m doing and to look underneath the surface.“
“Hello Gerhard, thank you for the wonderful training sessions. I have really learned a lot, not just technically, but also a lot for myself personally. You showed me a totally different attitude towards work. Now I see everything more positively and I am able to see things from different perspectives. Thank you for everything. Kind regards, Sonja.“
“Our health center is a very exclusive club and belongs to Europe’s largest health club chain with over 500 units. Gerhard is a very flexible person. His knowledge in coaching people is outstanding. We have always been pleased to send our exclusive clients to Gerhard. The fact that he speaks several foreign languages makes it much easier to deal with our international clients.“
“BestOf Training: a brilliant program, a well rounded and deeply thought through system of processes to optimize your whole life. By applying the principles covered in Gerhard’s BestOf Training, you get the opportunity to learn routines and ways to become and stay successful. Many people know Gerhard as an expert in optimizing physical performance, e.g. professional athletes, but he has a unique capability to cover all other life areas for a wide audience. I am sure that all users will widen their horizon.“
“Why I chose the services of GM Trainings? If I can go to the best, why go anywhere else. It’s the technical competence and the opportunity to ask important questions. We started with a detailed analysis of my goals. Gerhard has a large network of experts backing him up with knowledge and service. For example, if I need a medical specialist, Gerhard is the right guy to ask. Everything comes together, seeing the whole person and how everything is connected.“
“If I had to describe your program with one word, it would be ‘Kaizen‘ which means continual improvement in Japanese. You are very good at that. You live your philosophy.“
“Good morning, Gerhard. Now I’ve finally found the time to give you a feedback. First of all an overall impression of you: you gave me very valuable impressions for my own work. I was also greatly impressed by your ability to analyse situations and circumstances. Now, for my assessment: I found the way of you dealing with students during our seminar very refreshing and positive. I also liked the way you motivated and integrated the people and how you showed them their own personal capabilities and potential. My impression is that you come to the point and that you have a mssion. I look forward to our next project. Once more, thank you for your support. Peter.“
