Welcome to Plan B Training, your platform for security and personal protection skills.

Plan B Kaizen - Our practiced culture of continuous improvement

At Plan B Training, we do not see training as a completed unit, but as a continuous, process-oriented path to operational readiness. Our formats such as QuickTraining4WAR, inspired by the writings of Baden-Powell, embody a methodology based on practice, clarity and continuous optimization – in the spirit of the Japanese Kaizen principle: change for the better.

Michel Fink - The specialist in strength and movement training you need to know Are you looking for a coach who is not only convincing, but also stands out with his modesty and professionalism? Michel Fink is exactly that person. At Plan B we know that: You don't just work with Michel - you find out why competence, experience and passion can outshine everything else. Michel concentrates fully on his field. He never focuses on marketing, self-promotion or ego.

His work speaks for itself - clear, goal-oriented and with a relentless focus on the athletes he looks after. For Michel, it's not about himself, but about bringing people forward, developing their skills and accompanying them on their way to peak performance. For over 15 years, Michel has accompanied athletes and coaches with the aim of raising their strength and athletic abilities to an international level. His work in training aspirants for special forces, who have to fulfill strict selection criteria, is particularly outstanding. Michel knows how to use his exceptional methodology to create exercises and modifications that specifically generate carry-over performance. His focus on the quality of movement rather than the pure height of the loads clearly sets him apart from other trainers. We particularly value this attitude at Plan B. Michel lives the values we promote: hard work, humility and an uncompromising focus on excellence. His approach - quality of movement and sustainable development over short-term success - makes him not only an exceptional trainer, but one of the best in his field. With his open and direct manner, Michel builds trust without ever putting himself at the center of attention. He takes athletes further because he works with genuine enthusiasm and a clear methodology. This attitude makes him an indispensable part of our network - and a person who should not only be known, but who is an enrichment for everyone who works with him. If you're looking for someone who is passionate about your goals rather than about himself, Michel is the right person for you.
