How Daniel lost 30 kilos by skipping rope

"I weighed 110 kilos – now I'm down to 80. Three fewer crates of water. And all just from skipping rope and cycling."
That's what Daniel says – or as many know him in the Everjump app, "der.direktor". Banker, executive, and passionate rope jumper. His journey impressively demonstrates what's possible when motivation, routine, and enjoyment come together.

30 kilos lighter – and no sacrifices

"I haven't changed my diet. I love sweets – chocolate, gummy bears, everything. But jumping allows me to indulge."

No guilt, no diet – just exercise, consistency and fun.

From goalkeeper to jump rope athlete

"I used to be a handball goalkeeper – my coach always gave me a rope to warm up with. I enjoyed that even back then. At some point, the algorithm showed me the rope-skipping type again – and I just started."

What started as ten minutes quickly turned into more. "Once I get into the flow, time flies. I grab my rope, go out – quick and dirty. And in the end, I'm happy I did it."

Training without excuses – in any weather

"I jump in all weather – even when it's raining. For me, it's like meditation. No excuses, no studio, no hassle."

Daniel trains exclusively in freestyle mode. "I simply jump by feel – with music, beats in my ears and full of energy. I love skipping rope. It's fast, intense and can be done anywhere."

From muscle soreness to mindset shift

"At first I had sore muscles in my legs. But I kept going. Today it's routine – and my mind becomes just as clear as my body becomes strong."

For Daniel, skipping rope is more than just a sport – it's a way to unwind and a form of meditation in motion. "I'm an executive in the banking sector – lots of mental work, lots of meetings. Skipping rope helps me relax and makes me more alert."

Everjump as a game changer

“Everjump totally motivates me. The app, the community, the progress of others – it just gives me a boost.”

Daniel regularly renews his subscription because he's motivated by the community's growth. "The new update with the dashboard is amazing! I can see my progress at a glance – that motivates me to keep going."

Daniel's message to everyone

"I would really recommend skipping rope to everyone. It's simple, efficient for weight loss and incredibly fun. I lost 30 kilos, am fitter, more alert and happier – and all with just a rope."

Daniel's tip:

"Stick with it. Give rope skipping a few weeks – it will click. And when it clicks, you won't be able to let it go."
