What is POUND®?
It is a high-energy, full-body fitness program from the United States that combines cardio, strength training, and elements of Pilates with the simulation of playing the drums. Set to rock music and using slightly weighted drumsticks called Ripstix®, participants burn calories, release stress, and improve their coordination and sense of rhythm all within a single session. It is an activity suitable for all fitness levels.

Inspired by the movements of drumming, this workout turns participants into drummers for a while: they “play” intensely while performing deep squats, lunges, and other movements that particularly engage the core, legs, and glutes. The use of Ripstix®, heavier than regular drumsticks, adds resistance and increases upper-body muscle work. In a 75-minute session that combines high-intensity intervals with strength exercises, the motivating music, the fun, and the feeling of being part of a band are essential elements of the experience, making POUND® a revolutionary, creative and dynamic alternative to traditional fitness training.

I have been working in the fitness industry in Berlin since 2021, and since my transition as a trans woman, Now, I am able and becoming more aware of with whom I share my energy.

Coach: 
My name is Mathilda Kleo (she / no pronoun), which means “mighty in battle.” My middle name, Kleo, means “famous,” and Colada stands for “relaxation.” An interesting combination of who I am and who I am becoming.
I was born in Eastern Europe, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and have been living in Western Europe—Germany and Spain—since 2017. Since 2021, I have felt at home in Berlin.
I trained in dance theatre, am a certified yoga teacher, and worked for two years in Spain as an entertainment manager. I am also licensed in Zumba, Aqua Zumba, and Pound. Since 2021, I have been working in the fitness sector in Berlin, and since my transition as a trans woman, I have become more conscious about with whom I share my creative energy.
I am incredibly grateful and very excited to teach at Seitenwechsel and to strengthen my TIAN* queer community. I believe in transformative energy and see my calling in offering my classes with heart and soul. I look forward to meeting all of you and engaging with one another in an honest, vulnerable, joyful, mindful, and deeply human way.
