DEEPWORK
DEEPWORK originates from the Far Eastern approach and movement. CHALLENGE and BALANCE.
The entire human musculoskeletal system works “only” as a unified system, which consists of muscles, ligaments, tendons, internal organs and ultimately – which is very important – the emotions and individual motivation of people. In the holistic training approach, it is important to transform all these aspects and elements into movement sequences and exercises in order to better optimize and coordinate them! The person is always considered “whole” and thus trains on a physical and psychological level in order to achieve success (results). This is DEEPWORK training. DEEPWORK is the answer to feeling your inner spirituality, to finding your limits and to fulfilling them without prejudice.
DEEPWORK is a functional, cardiovascular, full-body workout based on the principle of polarization (Yin and Yang). Each movement includes a tension and release phase. The program is about creating harmony between opposites. Throughout the entire workout, dynamic movements and static holding positions, cardiovascular exercises and functional strength exercises are constantly alternating. The goal is to learn how the entire body works in all dimensions. DEEPWORK has a logical structure with five different training phases/energy phases.
DEEPWORK is a barefoot workout.
Did you know that our body has 26 bones, 19 muscles and approximately 200 cm² of nerve endings in each foot? The foot is the basis of all our movements. However, in order to create harmony between these complex structures, our brain must be able to process all the information and send the correct signals through the nervous system. In order to perform the movement perfectly, all the muscles, nerves, joints, etc. of our feet must be activated. At the same time, the plantar fascia provides reflex tension to the pelvic floor. In addition, during the DEEPWORK training, we train perception and proprioception, and the foot and ankle work functionally.
How is DEEPWORK different from other programs?
DEEPWORK is an intelligent concept FOR EVERYONE. In this training, each participant sees which movements/exercises are easy to perform (easy) and which are difficult for them. Strength, flexibility, cardio, coordination, dynamic and static full-body exercises are combined! The DEEPWORK class begins and ends quietly (physically and musically), and the majority of the class is based on cardio and strength exercises. The special thing about DEEPWORK is that each participant can work at their own level. From zero to hero!
The movements of DEEPWORK are different from the usual and quite unusual. The DEEPWORK movements are intended to always be in connection between tension and release, and are combined with breathing exercises. Percussion (drumming) – constant repetitions – and releasing in movements have long been known to have healing effects. In some cultures, this is celebrated to the point of trance. Nowadays, there are many techniques, from movement therapy to meditation, that promote physical and mental release during movement. In DEEPWORK training, deep rhythms and percussion-based background beats support the participant, help them build strength, release emotions and exceed their personal limits.
In DEEPWORK, all movements are designed so that physical limitations disappear after a while.

DEEPWORK BASIC
What can you expect as a future DEEPWORK instructor from the DEEPWORK Basic Training?
After the two weekend training, you will be able to teach DEEPWORK classes – with a lot of self-discipline and practice. It will be a sweaty, educational, positive and great training experience!

The emphasis is on practical training!
Brief description of the two training days:
- At least 2 DEEPWORK masterclasses
- Energy
- Polarity
- The 5 energy phases of DEEPWORK training
- Theory and practice of energy phases 1-3 (parts 1-2)

DEEPWORK BASIC MODULE 2
- Duration: 2 days
The second training weekend focuses on practicing our main training phase / energy phase 3 (part 3). It becomes more complex, more intense, more demanding, and you will learn this in theory and practice. You are „ready” to put together a harmonious DEEPWORK class and to hold your own DEEPWORK class. In this module you will also learn the compact, 30-minute DEEPWORK Xpress concept.
Similar to the first module, the training now focuses on the practical part.
Brief description of the two training days:
- At least 2 DEEPWORK masterclasses
- Days 3-5. energy phase theory, practice (part 3)
- Theory, practice of the DEEPWORK Xpress concept
- Pair and group work
- Visual assistance (online, QR codes)
DEEPWORK RELOADED
- YIN: sensitive preparation for physically intensive training, mental aspects.
- YANG: functional training, cardiovascular training and sports science knowledge.
The goal: to capture the whole person and change them physically and mentally.
SIMPLICITY, DIFFERENT LEVELS, FUN, STRENGTH, UNIQUENESS… these are the pillars of DEEPWORK training and will certainly be the focus of attention in the future.
Elite instructors from all over the world have committed themselves to Robert Steinbacher and the DEEPWORK teaching method. They are the connecting link between the method and new trainers. The characteristic of a Master Instructor is the ability to understand the “know-how” and pass it on to new, prospective instructors. They are with you in body and soul, supporting you, teaching and training you in an energetic and compassionate way. You and thousands of DEEPWORK instructors carry Robert’s message and have been successfully offering DEEPWORK training in studios for over 10 years, giving new strength to the field of group fitness.
Robert’s goal from the beginning was to create a sustainable movement concept, growing with DEEPWORK instructors, and to create a community to support you as a DEEPWORKer through the exchange of experiences.
We all achieved this goal together! It’s so great that we are now continuing our journey as DEEPWORK instructors with BODYART School International GmbH. Our top priority is that the individual BODYART instructors and from 2021 YOU as a DEEPWORK Instructor receive continuous support and development opportunities!
