Serge Poos – Flow in Motion
Born on August 21, 1972, the son of a working-class family from the south of Luxembourg, I grew up like many children of that time — spending countless hours outdoors, playing, exploring, and discovering nature. My father was a passionate angler and hunter, and that’s where my deep fascination with wildlife and nature photography originates.
At the age of 17, I joined the Luxembourg Army, and before my 20th birthday, in 1992, I was already deployed on my first international mission — an experience that profoundly shaped my life and character. More than three decades later, I continue to serve my country with the same sense of duty and discipline.
Sport has always been an integral part of my life — from competitive shooting and motorsport to mountain biking, I’ve always been driven by passion, perseverance, and curiosity. When I met Tania, she encouraged me to take my lifelong experience and share it with others — and that’s how PHPTriCoaching was born, eventually evolving into Flow in Motion.
As a Certified IRONMAN Coach, Certified Swim Stroke Analyst, Trail & MTB Guide, Technical MTB Trainer, INSCYD Performance Analyst, and EMS Certified Coach, I combine technical precision with real-world experience to help athletes reach their full potential — both physically and mentally.
Over the years, our athletes have achieved remarkable results — from national titles like the U23 MTB National Champion to international successes and record-breaking race performances. But what matters most to me are not the podium finishes — it’s the joy, the emotion, and the smile at the finish line. Seeing our athletes cross that line with pride and happiness is the greatest reward of all.
The year 2025 has been one of challenges, highs, and lows. On January 7, 2025, I suffered a stroke on the flight from Auckland to Singapore — a life-changing moment that tested every bit of strength and resilience I had. The cause was later found to be a patent foramen ovale (PFO), which was successfully closed with an implant at the end of May.
Since then, I’ve felt stronger, more focused, and deeply grateful — living every day under the simple but powerful motto.
Tania Hoffmann – Flow In Motion
Born on June 25, 1975, in Dudelange, I spent my early childhood in Luxembourg City. At the same time, a big part of my childhood unfolded in the countryside with my grandparents — surrounded by nature, fields, and quiet village life.
When I was seven, we moved to Contern, which was still a small village back then. I spent most of my days outside with friends, exploring and playing. I wasn’t athletic at all — instead, I was musical. I played piano, trumpet, and flute.
Our holidays were usually spent in the mountains or sailing. My father was a passionate sailor, and through him I learned early what freedom, wind, and wide horizons feel like.
Losing my mother at the age of 21 changed my life deeply. During that time, I started running and going to the gym — at first just short runs, almost as an outlet. Over time, it became a true passion and an anchor in my life.
At 36, I accompanied a friend to the Ironman in Lanzarote. Standing there, watching the athletes, I knew: I want to do this. One year later, in 2012, I finished my first Ironman in South Africa. Since then, many Ironman and Ironman 70.3 races have followed — including two Ironman World Championships and four Ironman 70.3 World Championships. Each race has been a journey, filled with learning, humility, and joy.
Along the way, I decided to deepen my knowledge and earned certifications in sports nutrition and fitness coaching — because I believe that performance, health, and wellbeing belong together.
In my professional life, I work as a civil servant. Sport isn’t just a hobby beside my job — it is a major part of my daily life, giving me balance, focus, and energy.
In 2025, I faced a new personal challenge: on July 1, I underwent hip replacement surgery and received a ceramic-titanium implant. Recovery has required patience, courage, and trust — but it has also given me hope.
Today, I am on my way back, step by step. With gratitude and optimism, I look toward the future — and I hope that 2026 will be a year of renewal, health, and new beginnings.
