“I used to play professional football in the Netherlands until I was 23 years old, after which I also competed in MMA and grappling competitions. When I was 29 I started competing in bodybuilding and had many successes, winning a number of awards and accolades.
My personal fitness goal is to keep improving myself, and to keep challenging my body in different ways. For me, being fit and healthy means to feel good, strong, mobile, am injury-free, and having a good cardiovascular system.
My strength as a trainer is that I am very understanding, empathetic, patient, and am a good listener. I am also very analytical and passionate about solving movement related “problems”. What I love the most about working with my clients is the variety of different personalities, goals, and fitness levels that I get to work with everyday. This makes my job interesting and challenging.
With my academic background in Sports Physiotherapy, my specialization is in rehabilitation, injury prevention, and strength and conditioning. Before before coming to Singapore, I practiced as a Sports Physiotherapist in the Netherlands and India.”
My biggest inspiration: My Grandfather and father.
My favourite quote: Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work gains success. Greatness will come.
Favourite cheat meal: French fries.
My biggest fear: Losing my loved ones.
Best advice given to me: Always enjoy the moment!
