Melanie Hoffmann, Editor-in-Chief

Melanie Hoffmann has been Editor-in-Chief of FITBOOK since January 2024. She has been with Axel Springer since 2021 and writes for FITBOOK about topics related to health, fitness, and nutrition. She is a certified Mental Health First Aider (MHFA) and holds a license in sports nutrition and supplementation. Currently, she is also training to become a certified sleep coach. When she’s not diving into new medical studies for FITBOOK or sharing her personal experiences with the keto diet or new workout routines with readers, she loves going out dancing with friends or trying out new restaurants. Fitness also plays a big role in her personal life, as sport has always been an important part of her daily routine. At the moment, she’s particularly passionate about yoga and strength-endurance training. And something that absolutely cannot be missing from her life: traveling to faraway places—preferably somewhere warm and by the sea.
