This is not a hobby that got out of hand. It is a method I first built on myself, then grounded in evidence, and have since applied to more than 25 people.
Waking up in front of the TV. Checking emails immediately and feeling overwhelmed before the day had begun. Snoozing, no breakfast, coffee to stay awake, and collapsing on the couch at night until I fell asleep. Exercise or cooking never happened, because busy busy busy. Looking forward to the weekend all week to stuff myself, because I had earned it.
I thought it was my discipline. In reality, I had no structure.
Over the years I developed a method that leaves room for balance and can be sustained long-term. Many courses, certifications and years of practice later, I also know why it works. By building around strength training, nutrition, lifestyle and sleep, I lost 25 kilos. That method is called De Bouwmethode today.
Master's degree in history (Ghent University, with distinction), specialised in the historical prostitution of Antwerp. At first sight an unusual combination with personal training. In reality, the link is obvious.
As a historian you learn to recognise patterns, dig for the real cause and never stop at the first answer. That is exactly the method I apply to your health.
A good coach needs more than enthusiasm. This is where I trained, what I am affiliated with and who I work with. Click through, it all checks out.
