HIT BLN in the media.

On RTL: strength training and measurable health data.

In July 2026, HIT BLN founder José Yilmaz was a guest expert on RTL and contributed his perspective on strength training, Pilates and check-ups. His focus: strength training and measurable health data.

“Good training doesn't start with some trend. It starts with clarity.”José Yilmaz

Look first, then train

Where does the body currently stand? What is the body composition, how much muscle mass is there? Where is strength, stability or mobility lacking – and which routines realistically fit into everyday life? That is exactly why check-ups are so important: they create a starting point. Not based on feeling, not on assumptions, not on social media trends – but on real values.

Strength training as a lever

Strength training is one of the most important levers for health and performance: for more stability, better body composition, a more resilient back, more energy in everyday life and long-term independence.

Pilates as a complement

Pilates can be a useful complement for many people – especially for body awareness, control and mobility. But whether strength training, Pilates or other forms of exercise: what matters is not the trend, but what the person needs. And you only see that when you look carefully.

Thanks to RTL for the opportunity to share this perspective.
