FAQ

Questions, answered directly.

If something you need to know is not covered here, ask. A direct answer is always preferable to an assumption.

COACHING

Who will I be working with?

Directly with Tino Rinderknecht. He obtained his first personal-training qualification through BSA Academy in Germany in 2003, has trained for more than 31 years and competed for more than 21, and continued his formal education through ILS in 2017 and Precision Nutrition in 2024. Every system is designed and coordinated personally.

In which languages can I be coached?

German, English and Spanish. Coaching and all communication take place directly in your language, without a translator.

What is the competitive background behind the method?

Competition in bodybuilding from 2005 onward: regional and national titles in Spain, three consecutive Canary Championships from 2017 to 2019, European Champion at MPC European 2020, Olympia Amateur Alicante in 2021, the NPC European Masters in Milan in 2023, and international competition in Colombia in 2026. The full record is on the About page.

How does private coaching work?

Coaching begins with the initial assessment and a private conversation. From there a personalized system is engineered across training, nutrition, recovery and lifestyle, delivered through a coaching platform with structured check-ins and defined communication.

Which coaching level is appropriate?

The appropriate level depends on the complexity of your objectives, the demands of your schedule and the degree of access and personalization you require. A recommendation is made after your assessment and private call.

Is coaching online?

Coaching is delivered privately online. In-person coaching is available within the VIP partnership where geographically feasible.

How often are programs updated?

Programs are reviewed continuously and adjusted at a cadence appropriate to your coaching level, informed by check-in data, feedback and changes to your schedule.

How does communication work?

Each level defines its own communication standard, from structured messaging access through to priority private consultation. Expectations are agreed at onboarding so response times are clear on both sides.

LIFESTYLE

Can coaching work with frequent travel?

Yes. Travel is treated as a planned variable: hotel gym options, time-zone adjustment, restaurant strategy and recovery are built into the system rather than handled as exceptions.

What if I have business dinners?

Business dining is part of the plan. Ordering strategies, weekly structuring and flexible targets allow you to attend without compromising progress.

Can the program adapt to changing schedules?

The system is designed around variability. Sessions, nutrition and recovery have defined alternatives so an unpredictable week still produces progress.

ASSESSMENT

Why do I need to complete an assessment?

The assessment is how the right strategy is identified. It captures your objectives, history, training, nutrition, environment, health context, schedule, stress and recovery before any recommendation is made.

How long does it take?

Most applicants complete it in 15–25 minutes. Progress is saved on your device, so you can pause and return.

What happens after submission?

Your assessment is personally reviewed. If ELEVARE appears to be an appropriate fit you will be contacted regarding a private call.

Can I schedule a call first?

Yes. Some clients prefer a private conversation before completing the assessment. Both routes lead to the same outcome.

VIP

What makes VIP different?

VIP is a private performance partnership rather than a coaching package: bespoke strategy, the highest priority of access, real-time adaptation where appropriate and coordination with the people already supporting you.

How limited is availability?

A deliberately limited number of VIP engagements are accepted at any given time, because the level of access involved cannot be scaled.

Is in-person coaching available?

In-person coaching and private performance days are available where geographically feasible.

Can coaching coordinate with my existing support team?

Where appropriate and authorized by you, coordination with a personal chef, household staff or other support professionals is part of the engagement.
