CO-FOUNDER

Marco Kern

Head of Coaching & Athlete Programming

For two decades, Schaffhausen native Marco Kern lived the life of an elite competitor, capturing six Swiss championship titles, representing Switzerland internationally ten times, and racing in the World University Games final in Kazan. Today, he channels that high-performance drive into ARC, balancing elite-level programming with the welcoming spirit of a community leader. A well-connected figure in Swiss sports association, Marco previously captained the adidas Runners Zurich community and co-founded the Schaffhausen-based running company, Runaissance. Outside work and the track, he enjoys life in Schaffhausen with his partner and their son.

CO-FOUNDER

Evangelos "Vago" Filis

CEO

Vago has spent his life in sport. It started in childhood with martial arts — American Kenpo and kickboxing — then moved to the gym, swimming and running. In 2012 he found CrossFit, and it’s shaped how he trains ever since.

In 2019 he co-founded a successful CrossFit gym in London. That’s where he learned what it really takes to build a place that lasts: sharp programming, high standards, and above all, community. He has coached functional fitness since 2017 and is a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer.

At ARC, Vago leads strategy, growth, and operations — channelling everything he’s learned into an athletic club built on real coaching and an uncompromising standard. Vago lives in Feuerthalen with his wife and kids. When he’s not working, training, or coaching, you’ll find him by the Rhine.
