👤 Who Is Soren Falby?
Soren Falby is a fitness instructor, online coach and personal trainer from Denmark. He runs the Team Falby website, through which he coaches clients online. 💪
His heavily tattooed, heavily muscled look made him one of the most recognisable Danish faces in online fitness — a reputation built on photos, coaching and personality rather than trophies.
📱 The Instagram Rise: Posting Since 2012
Falby began sharing fitness photos on Instagram in August 2012, in the platform’s early days, and grew with it. 📸
By the time Denmark’s Fitness M/K podcast devoted a full episode to him, it billed him as “Denmark’s biggest fitness influencer,” noting around 160,000 Instagram followers, arms measured at 55 cm and a bodyweight above 120 kg at the time.
His following later passed 190,000. Like David Laid, he showed that a physique and a phone could build a fitness career long before contest stages entered the picture.
🏋️ Training Philosophy: From Heavy to Volume
Falby’s fame was never measured in trophies, and his training reflects that. Early on he chased very heavy weights — and, by his own account in interviews, injured himself a lot doing it.
He switched his focus to volume and repetitions, which let him keep growing with fewer injuries. He has described his gym time as the best part of his day: roughly two hours of freedom and peace. 🏋️
According to the Fitness M/K episode, he arranged his life around that priority — working from his computer as an online coach, with his own gym a short distance from his home near Randers.
He was also reported to be studying for a Bachelor’s degree in Architectural Technology and Construction Management alongside his fitness career.
🥩 How Soren Falby Eats
No verified meal-by-meal plan from Falby exists in reliable sources, so this page does not print one. What is documented is the general approach: clean, classic bodybuilding food. 🍽️
Interviews describe a man who loves a good steak and rice but otherwise sticks to simple, healthy bodybuilding staples to support his size — the same no-nonsense approach he sells to coaching clients.
💼 Team Falby and the Coaching Career
Coaching is Falby’s actual profession. Through Team Falby he works as an online coach and personal trainer, and his profile earned him sponsorship and representation deals with fitness companies including Legal Power, Bodystore and Get Fit Food.
It is the same career model used by other non-competing fitness figures such as Chris Heria: build an audience, then coach it.
His wife, Malene Larsen, is a fellow fitness enthusiast who has often appeared in his posts; he has also shared family photos with his father and nephew. ❤️
🚫 The Contest Question: No Pro Record
Because Falby looks like a competitive bodybuilder, many biography sites write about him as if he were one. The record says otherwise.
There is no Soren Falby in IFBB or NPC contest records, and no powerlifting results for him in the OpenPowerlifting database. Features on “huge bodybuilders who don’t compete” list him precisely because he never did — he is an online coach, not a competitor. 🏆
Like Lexx Little, his fame comes from the internet and the gym floor, not from a judging panel. That honesty matters more than an invented trophy cabinet.
📅 Soren Falby in 2026
As of 2026, Falby remains a Danish fitness coach and influencer figure — there is no retirement announcement, because there was never a stage career to retire from.
No competition entry, comeback or pro-card attempt has been reported for him. His story continues to be the one he built from 2012 onwards: coaching through Team Falby and standing as proof that a modern fitness career does not need a contest stage.
He belongs to the generation of lifters who built careers on social media rather than scorecards, a path later followed by names like Alex Eubank. 📲
