Hi, I’m Mihaly Zoltan Safran, fitness coach, athlete, bioengineer and author from Hungary.

A large part of my life has always been defined by sports. I started with swimming, pentathlon, played handball, and I spent 20+ years with canoeing.

I’m grateful in many respects for this sport: successes, experiences and friendships, trips around the world, fitness, endurance, fighting spirit…

I started in 1992 but unfortunately had to quit around 2013-2014 due to burnout and injuries associated with elite-level training. 

I usually never get bored so the sport is still dominant in my life. Only the purpose has changed: to regain my health and being fit in every area of movement.

I became a Movement Generalist and it moved me to new types of exercises.

I have been practicing Natural Movements (MovNat), bodyweight strength training, weightlifting, pilates, OCR (Obstacle Course Racing), SUP & windsurfing and many sports that I hadn’t tried before.

I also started to coach people for general fitness and for performance.

I’m endlessly curious. I like to learn new things and enjoy collecting experiences. In school I was most interested in the natural sciences.

So I graduated as a chemical technician and health preventing bio-engineer at university.

I always have been courious what would be the best nutrition and lifestyle for humans.

How our physiology works on the deepest level?

How can we enhance our sport & everyday life performance?

I’ve been reading a ton of books and scientific studies in my quest to stay on top of the latest trends and advances in my profession and my athletic lifestyle.

Through all my research after a while I felt it was time publish books and articles to share the fitness and quantum biology knowledge I’ve gained.

If we want to be healthy and fit then it’s not just the food & exercise that matters! Countless other lifestyle, environmental and psychological factors as well. This is what my articles and books are about.

I continuously educate myself as a coach. I transfer all this theoretical knowledge and the 30+ years of athletic experience into practice with my SunnyFitness training sessions.

Currently I’m living in Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands in Spain. It’s a beautiful, sunny place, with a lot of nice natural areas to exercise outside. 

Let me know if you would like to join my trainings or would like to improve your nutrition, health and performance!
