Armin's personal profiile

I began my cycling career in 1978 as a 10-year-old junior rider in Munich, Germany. During my many years of committed racing I achieved remarkable results. I was a member of the German National Team and won many national and international races in Europe. I was Winner of the European classic “Rund um den Henninger Turm” in Frankfurt, won the “Stuttgart Sixdays” and achieved over 100 road and 150 track victories.

In April 1995 I moved from Germany to South Pasadena, California, where I established my own business and also began coaching my first athletes. Presently, I am the sole distributor for “Sixtufit” products manufactured in Germany. I also manage and race on the local PAA Pro Cycling Team as a Cat 1 on Road and Track. I have proven to also have excellent coaching abilities in cycling and running with female and male athletes on the highest level of competition. See their respective results below. At the end of 2000 I focused on the growth of his business and took a break from coaching.

Constantly striving for perfection, I was traveling to Colorado Springs to acquire my USA Cycling Elite Coaching License in 1997. I have honed my knowledge and program to conform to any athlete’s abilities and schedule.

I speak German and English fluently and hold a mechanical engineering degree from the Business and Industry University in Munich. I currently reside in South Pasadena, CA and can be found riding around the Rose Bowl most Tuesdays and Thursdays.
