Laura’s Story

“THIS WAS MY GAME­CHANGER”

My name is Laura Wontorra, and I’m a sports reporter. Even though the word “sports” is in my job title, I have to admit that in recent years, I didn’t prioritize fitness in my own life. My biggest challenge was building a consistent routine into my busy schedule, which often includes business travel.

The first COVID lockdown gave me the push I needed to make a change. That’s when I connected with Vaha Flow and my coach Janika Merz — and one year later, I can proudly say: this was my gamechanger!
Losing weight or looking like an Instagram fitness model was never my goal. I simply wanted to feel fitter, more agile, and truly healthy again.

Janika has been — and continues to be — the perfect coach for me. She helps tailor workouts that suit my lifestyle, offers great tips on nutrition and health, and has managed to keep me motivated to train every single week for nearly 12 months. She’s taught me consistency — and for that alone, she deserves an Oscar!

What I also really appreciate about her is her contagious positivity and emotional intelligence. She knows exactly how to adjust training to meet my individual needs each week. As a TV host, posture is also crucial for me, and I’ve seen incredible progress here through small but effective adjustments.

Plus, Janika is very flexible and adapts well to my hectic schedule. I’m truly grateful for the fun and impactful sessions we’ve shared so far, and I hope she keeps kicking my butt for years to come — turning me into a real fitness pro.

CLIENT LOVE

  • Janika, imagine... my best friend asked me if I had lost weight??? .. I can't believe it!!! We last saw each other in March and I totally believe her when she says that! I almost have to cry because everything you said confirms it and I'm so overwhelmed
  • I'i just start... Especially now that Janika is sick again and that must be annoying... My win-moment was that I simply found my rhythm. I'm always so strict with myself and have now learned to be lenient with myself sometimes. Life is not constant, but has ups, downs, anger, joy, fun and seriousness and it's always OK to allow that. Since I've been with Janika, I've learned so much, most of all about myself... that I can simply be the best version of myself. And when I'm not feeling like that at the moment, I have many tools to return to the point where l feel comfortable. That's worth so much and it helps me get out of the lows more quickly. I'm infinitely grateful for that... Thank you Janika, you've shown me possibilities that I never thought possible
  • Hello lovely community! I have to share a success with you! I have been doing yoga for about 2 years and for a year I have been practicing the crow pose... and I have never, ever, ever managed it because I simply didn't have the strength in my arms or stomach. Until today... during yoga - bang - crow. Very easy. I am so proud right now because I am building up strength thanks to the training here and that is a real sense of achievement for me!
  • How do you like the program? And why? I don't want to miss you by my side anymore
  • I am so grateful to have Janika as a trainer She always motivates me to do my best. When I bought a dumbbell set, I never thought that I would ever use the larger dumbbells. Now I have actually bought even larger weights and a complete rack with barbell
  • Wie sagst du immer „Keep going girl"
