My strength is my knowledge of strength training, nutrition, and personal attention.
Results are key to me. Personalization stands above 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.
Wellbeing, physical and mental fitness are related. Of course we know. Of course we say yes if anyone asks if we would like to feel healthy, have a positive outlook on life.

FAQ
What is the change you are offering?
“Well, I would say: freedom through routine/structure. Freedom comes from structure. When you follow a training and diet program, you don’t have to think what you have to do. Just follow the program and results will follow.
What will I gain, on a personal level?
“A better, healthier you through structured scientific training and dieting.”
How will you motivate me?
“When you train you feel better instantly, this is caused by the release of endorphins. Long term, you will be healthier; bloodmarkers improve, cardiovascular fitness improves, you’ll have more energy and be less prone to get sick. Having muscles isn’t just for the looks, it will help you age better and live longer enjoying good health, while slowing down age-related disease and discomfort.
All in all, the positive cognitive effects of exercise translate into a higher level of wellbeing!”
Why should I hire a PT and not just go to the gym myself?
- Some people are intimidated by the gym. They don’t know what to do or where to start. I provide guidance and lead you along the exercises.
- Others need the scheduled appointment with me as a structured motivational tool.
- For more experienced lifters who have plateaud, an expert opininion to get the gains going again is advisable.
- After or during a treatment by a physiotherapist. Successful treatment of an injury by a physiotherapist doens’t mean it stops there. Full recovery and, even more important, rebuilding strength, requires training. I can guide you through these steps, to regain muscle strength and function.
I’ve never been to gym, and feel a bit hesitant where to begin…
“You have to start somewhere! I can help you take the first steps, to boost your confidence! Gyms feel intimidating, yet they shouldn’t be. Everybody is welcome, every body is welcome.”
Low risk, high result training
Safety; technique comes first, results will follow. This is my training approach/philosophy.
Time is a friend, not an enemy.
I know how to train efficiently:
- Based on the latest scientific knowledge
- To get results as fast as possible
- For muscle growth and fat loss
Nutrition
A good diet can aim for fat loss and/or muscle gain. With my expertise I can provide you with a diet to get to your goal. I help you make healthy choices that fit your training ambitions. Diet and exercise go hand in hand, though training is more important for muscle growth. A good diet is essential, but permissive for muscle growth. For fat loss the diet becomes key. You can outwork a bad diet, but it’s very tough. Better to set yourself up for success right away!

Testimonials
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, om met hem te trainen. Daarbij deden we 2 dagen een uur. Elk uur bestond uit zes oefeningen waarbij alles aan bod kwam. Kracht en conditie.
Zeer overzichtelijk alles, waarbij Hamish mij ook goed in de gaten hield of ik de oefeningen juist deed. Wat voor hem, aangezien zijn Bewegingsleer achtergrond, erg duidelijk en makkelijk is. De 2 uur in de week maakten het voor mij overzichtelijk en ik hield tijd over om mij te focussen op het wielrennen. De vooruitgang was duidelijk zichtbaar. Ik werd al snel sterker, mijn figuur werd strakker, en mijn conditie, dankzij de interval, 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! Ook fijn dat Hamish flexibel is qua planning en dat het altijd gezellig is! Ik ben erg blij met onze trainingen 🙂 Would recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “
