Hamish Leijer – Personal Trainer Amsterdam
Personal training, kickboxing & nutrition coaching in Amsterdam — at Basic-Fit, Sportcentrum VU and Sculptclub Jordaan.
I am a certified personal trainer based in Amsterdam with 5 years of training experience, specialising in strength training, boxing and kickboxing. I’m a Henselmans certified PT with a background in Sports Science. At the request of friends I started offering coaching — and I love it. Online coaching and training on location are both possible.
My strengths are my knowledge of strength training and nutrition, and the personal attention I give every client. Results are key. Personalisation always comes before standard programmes. I help you step by step towards your goals while you learn about fitness and nutrition in an accessible way.
I offer personal training, online coaching, kickboxing and boxing classes, and nutrition coaching — individually tailored to your goals.
Wellbeing, physical and mental fitness are deeply connected. I don’t just help you get to your goal — I intend on you staying there. Losing weight and gaining muscle is hard work; making it a lifelong habit is what I’m here for. I listen, reflect back what you tell me, and translate it into an actionable plan: a holistic approach to training, nutrition and lifestyle.

FAQ – Personal Training Amsterdam
What change are you offering?
“Freedom through routine and structure. When you follow a solid training and diet programme, you don’t have to think — just follow the plan and results will follow.”
What will I gain personally?
“A better, healthier you — through structured, science-based training and nutrition.”
How will you motivate me?
“When you train you feel better instantly — endorphins kick in right away. Long term: better bloodmarkers, improved cardiovascular fitness, more energy, stronger immune system. Having muscle isn’t just for the looks — it helps you age well, stay mobile and live longer in good health.”
Why hire a PT instead of going to the gym alone?
- Some people feel intimidated by the gym and don’t know where to start — I guide you through every exercise.
- Others need the scheduled appointment as a structured motivational tool.
- Experienced lifters who have plateaued benefit from an expert eye to get the gains going again.
- During or after physiotherapy — full recovery and rebuilding strength requires proper training guidance.
I’ve never been to a gym — where do I begin?
“You have to start somewhere — and I’ll help you take those first steps with confidence. Gyms feel intimidating, but they shouldn’t. Everybody is welcome. Every body is welcome.”
Low Risk, High Result Training
Safety first — technique comes before everything. Results will follow. Time is a friend, not an enemy.
- Based on the latest scientific knowledge (Henselmans certified)
- Maximum efficiency — results as fast as safely possible
- Muscle growth, fat loss and long-term health
Nutrition Coaching Amsterdam
A smart diet supports fat loss and muscle gain. I provide personalised nutrition plans that fit your training goals and lifestyle — no crash diets, no nonsense. Diet and exercise go hand in hand: training drives muscle growth, but for fat loss, nutrition is the key lever. Better to set yourself up for success from day one.

Client Reviews
Roberto Padovani
“Ik deed altijd maar wat, ik dacht dat dat goed was. En was sceptisch over een personal trainer, omdat ik dacht: het is duur en de oefeningen kan je zelf ook wel bedenken. Totdat Hamish mij benaderde om eens een proefperiode te proberen. De vooruitgang was duidelijk zichtbaar. Ik werd al snel sterker, mijn figuur werd strakker, en mijn conditie ging ook nog eens omhoog. Al met al een zeer positieve ervaring die ik iedereen kan aanbevelen!”
Nina van der Post
“Super goede trainer! Voordat ik met Hamish trainde had ik niet veel ervaring met de sportschool. Hij neemt goed de tijd om alles rustig uit te leggen en maakt het makkelijker of moeilijker waar nodig. Ik zie ook echt vooruitgang! Would recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
Peter Keijzer
