Cultural Tip
In German‑speaking countries trainers are often required to hold official certifications such as the ‘B‑Lizenz’ for fitness, ‘A‑Lizenz’ for advanced sports, or specific diplomas for yoga, pilates, or personal training. When asking a company, it’s polite to use the formal ‘Sie’: ‘Welche Qualifikationen haben Ihre Trainer?’ The informal ‘deine’ is fine with friends or when the trainer is your personal coach.
