About Me
Since 1975, I've practiced a range of sports, including judo, fitness, swimming, and running.After 30 years of competitive judo and years working in the ICT industry, I decided to turn my hobby into my profession.Of course, I also built up the knowledge to back it up: in 2009, I successfully completed Fitvak's Fitness Trainer A and B program.
To specialize further within my field, I completed several additional courses, including LAPT Personal Training (Red Label, RE-SIZE, Training and Business Essentials), NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), RPM, BodyPump, ClubCycle, ClubPower, and the AALO Cycle Instructor program.
Since then, I've gained extensive work experience at Sportcentrum Leek, Sport- en afslankinstituut Julia in Harkema, Achmea Health Center Groningen and Steenwijk, Fitnesscentrum Boost in Grootegast, and Bewegingscentrum Norg.Earlier in my career (1987 to 2000),
I also gained a great deal of experience as a sports coordinator and later head sports coordinator, organizing and supervising youth sports activities (Purvak) in Purmerend.I'm an empathetic, enthusiastic person who likes to think along with clients to help them get the very best out of themselves.
I'm also sporty, ambitious, and sociable by nature. My strength lies in analyzing, evaluating, and adjusting my approach for each person individually, so that we reach the desired goal in a healthy way above all. In other words, "Your goal is my goal."In my training sessions, you get personal attention and mental coaching, and you also get exactly the time you need to turn your highest achievable goals into reality.Alongside training itself, I consider nutrition, rest, and motivation to be just as important.
