What is Functional Fitness?
Are you looking for a varied fitness programme that helps you improve your strength, dynamism, flexibility and coordination? 
In functional fitness training, we achieve this through bodyweight exercises, as well as the use of TRX suspension trainers, battle ropes, slam balls, resistance bands and much more. By varying the sequence of exercises and adjusting the duration of exertion and rest periods, no two training sessions are ever the same. This ensures variety and constantly provides new training stimuli – for beginners and advanced participants alike!

Trainer: Mark Hoffstaedter, licensed fitness trainer
Start: 5 November 2026, every Thursday
Duration: 10 training sessions until 11 February 2027
Venue: Old gymnasium at the Rheingau Gymnasium, Geisenheim
Time: 7.15 pm to 8.00 pm

Registration via StudIP only – from 22 October 2026
Places are limited. If the course is full, you will be placed on the waiting list and will automatically be admitted if a place becomes available.

The FC Campus football course is aimed at anyone who enjoys a game of football – whether you play for a club or just for fun. Alongside university life, football offers a welcome change of pace and provides a relaxed and stimulating way to socialise across semesters and between different degree programmes, both on and off the pitch.
We also organise a number of events, such as football tournaments, matches against other universities (subject to availability) and the annual match against the ‘Weinelf’, which we try to hold during the semester.
So if you fancy a bit of a kickabout alongside your studies, feel free to pop along and have some fun with FC Campus!

What HIIT stands for:

High-Intensity Interval Training combines short, high-intensity exercise intervals with short recovery periods.
HIIT improves maximum oxygen uptake and, by engaging several muscle groups simultaneously, leads to increased calorie burn during and after the workout, as well as effective muscle building.

What you can achieve with HIIT:
Time savings: You achieve similar health and cardiovascular benefits in around 40 per cent less training time.
Improved endurance: Maximum oxygen uptake and cardiac output often improve more significantly than with slow, long-distance running.
Cardiovascular system: The heart becomes more efficient, and blood pressure decreases in the long term.

Holistic training:

To ensure a holistic workout, I supplement the HIIT sessions with stability and core exercises. Mobility and stretching exercises during the warm-up and cool-down round off the session.

Everyone can take part:
As everyone can determine the intensity of the individual exercises or training sessions for themselves, this programme is suitable for almost all fitness levels*.
I look forward to seeing you all!
