Bad stress = faster aging
Good stress = slower aging

Whether one´s goal is performance related or health and wellbeing, I have worked with clients from both ends of the spectrum. The principles are the same. Everyone needs healthy and stable joint structures, supple muscles/ligaments/tendons, an efficient cardiovascular system, muscular strength and endurance. Once the skills have been learned then workouts are used to achieve both health and performance. Joint mobility and flexibility are a crucial part of the puzzle. Cardiovascular health/performance and muscular strength/endurance are achieved through antiglycolitic training.

Newsflash! Good health isn´t only for the young or the athletic. Being fit, active and healthy is accessible to all who are prepared to make the necessary investment in time, discipline and knowledge. A car in good working condition requires servicing, replacement consumables and fuel in order to successfully serve its function. Cars which are neglected tend to run less reliably, leading to breakdowns more frequently. Cars are far easier to maintain than human bodies. As your personal trainer, it will be my job to help you improve your overall health, fitness and the functionality of your body to slow down the body´s aging process and improve its performance. By applying the same principles as professional athletes, those of more mature age can live life in terms of activities that they did in their 20s and 30s.

For as long as I can remember it was clear I had a talent for sports. I was both strong and fast. I trained in various martial arts such as Judo, Thai-Boxing and Aikido. I played rugby and I also started weightlifting when I entered university. I also found out I had a talent for helping other people improve their sports and fitness performance, and what began as a hobby became a vocation. Just as I was about to begin a very promising fitness-related business project abroad fate decided to take me down a different road. In 1995 I lost a leg in a motorcycle accident. Left with a metal leg and pretty much to my own devices, I spent five years rehabilitating myself. This experience has fundamentally increased my understanding of posture, movement, balance and other aspects which are so important for successful personal training. I began to integrate yoga into my personal training, which had an amazingly positive impact on my training success. Today, 18 years after my accident and at 47 years of age, I am stronger and fitter than ever. Together with my clients we achieve amazing results. I am a certified level 3 personal trainer but I am constantly acquiring new qualifications. Contact me for more information or check this website regularly to learn more.

Mission Statement:

Regardless of your background, I will introduce and coach using the most sophisticated, scientifically based methods, to coach each indivdual. Through my coaching, the metabolic rate is raised and therefore the aging process is slowed. Whether the outcome desired is a more youthful energy level / functional body, or peak athletic performance, the scientific concepts used are the same. AN increase in the metabolic rate means a younger body. A younger body means more energy, more lean muscle mass to fat, better cardiovascular system, better joints, better skin, etc. etc.
