Personal Trainer Leiden

Personal training for competitive athletes and serious lifters in Leiden. Whether you're preparing for your next competition or building toward a specific performance goal, I coach you through a tailored strength program that fits your sport and your training calendar.

Working with athletes across Leiden - students at Universiteit Leiden and LUMC, runners along the Leiden Marathon route, hockey players at HGC, members of Leiden Atletiek and the surrounding clubs, and lifters who want a structured program instead of random gym work.

In-person personal training in Leiden launches in 2026. Until then, online personal training is fully available - designed, coached, and adjusted by me, with weekly check-ins and an app-delivered program.

Who I Work With in Leiden

Most of my Leiden clients are competitive athletes, not general fitness clients. If your goal is to lose 5kg or "get in shape", I'm probably not the right fit. If your goal is to PR your snatch, finish the Leiden Marathon without breaking down, or come back from injury to peak for your hockey season - that's the work I do.

Runners

Strength work that doesn't interfere with your running volume, periodized around your race calendar. Especially useful for athletes training for the Leiden Marathon in May or autumn trail races.

CrossFit athletes

Programmed strength blocks that bring up your lifts without burning out your conditioning. Built around your gym schedule and competition prep.

Hockey players (HGC, Leiden Hockey Club)

Strength & conditioning built for the demands of club hockey: rotational power, repeated sprint ability, lower-body resilience through a long season.

Student Athletes (Universiteit Leiden, LUMC)

Flexible online programming that fits around exam periods, internships, and travel. Most students start online and convert to in-person when the Leiden launch happens.

Strength sport athletes

Programming for powerlifters, Olympic weightlifters, and strongman competitors based in and around Leiden.

Signs You Need a Personal Trainer, Not Another Gym Membership

Your lifts are stuck

You squat the same weight you did 6 months ago. Your power output hasn't budged. You're training, but not progressing.

You keep getting injured

Hamstring tweaks. Shoulder pain. Lower back issues. You can't stay healthy long enough to peak for competition.

No structure around your sport

You lift whenever you have time. There's no plan for when to push hard, when to back off, or how to peak for your event.

Random gym workouts

You do what feels good that day. No periodization. No progression. No connection to your sport's demands.

How Personal Training Works

Step 1: Performance Assessment

We start with a free 30-minute strategy call. I learn about your sport, competition schedule, current training, and what's holding you back. No commitment required.

Step 2: Personalized Program Design

I build a personal training program tailored to:

Your sport's demands (power for sprinters, endurance for marathoners, explosiveness for hockey)
Your competition calendar (we peak you when it matters)
Your available training time
Your injury history and movement limitations

Step 3: Progressive Training Blocks

Your program is structured in phases:

Base building (foundational strength, mobility, aerobic capacity)
Strength blocks (heavy loading, power development)
Competition prep (sport-specific work, maintaining fitness)
Taper & recovery (arrive at competition fresh, not fatigued)

Step 4: Ongoing Adjustments

We check in regularly (weekly for online, every session for in-person). Your program adapts based on how you're recovering, changes in your sport schedule, performance testing results, and any injury or fatigue management.
