About me

Emmanuel Gyamfi, founder of VitalFirm

Sport has shaped my whole life. Today I bring what I learned on the pitch and in the gym to companies across NRW.

Playing American football at high-school level and soccer at semi-pro level, I learned early what structured training and real resilience mean, and how much a team depends on every player staying fit.

For about ten years I’ve coached, trained and taught in gyms and group classes, working with individuals and with up-and-coming young athletes. I keep seeing the same pattern: people who sit a lot get back problems, and people who act early stay mobile and perform better.

From 2021 I worked as a freelance group fitness instructor in Cologne gyms, including McFit, Fitness First and Skill Cologne, teaching indoor cycling, full-body workouts, back classes and core training. Today I focus entirely on back health in companies.

With VitalFirm I bring that experience straight to you: practical, bilingual and built around your team.
