The biggest win is not visible in the photo: she feels stronger, fitter and better in her own skin. Her relationship with food became stable and her energy exploded.

HistorianData geekPersonal trainerCoachNutritionistNerdIT guyBon vivantWanderlust

I once weighed 101 kilos myself and thought it came down to discipline. In reality I had no structure. I lost more than 25 kilos and came through depression, eating disorders and addiction. On that slow and painful road I discovered how nutrition, sleep, movement and daily habits constantly influence each other. That hunger for knowledge never stopped, the hunger for sugar and fat thankfully did. After my master's in history I went from course to course and built a method I have since applied with more than 25 people.

Today I still do historical research on prostitution in Antwerp, work as a consultant and coach driven people with De Bouwmethode™, online and in the gym in Maldegem and Ghent. Warm, direct and grounded in science.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do we train in Ghent?
At JIMS Ghent Rooigem. Easy to reach, also after working hours.
What does a personal trainer in Ghent cost?
Personal training is part of a coaching program. That starts with a four-week trial at €169 and then continues at €53 per week. Sessions in the gym are booked alongside it at €80 per session. All prices are on the coaching page.
Does this fit a demanding job in Ghent?
The method is literally built for it: sessions around your schedule and a plan with a minimum baseline for busy weeks.
Do I need a membership?
Not for your first session. At JIMS you get a free trial pass, so that first time costs you nothing extra. If you want to keep training in the gym after that, you do need a membership. JIMS sets those rates. The page is in Dutch.

See the rates at JIMS

I have no gym experience
No problem at all, that is exactly my specialisation. We start with technique and with exercises you can handle, and we build from there. So you need to know nothing to start.
Is there parking?
Yes, there is a large free car park.

Cannot get to this location or is it too far?

Then online coaching is probably a better fit for you. Same method and same follow-up, wherever you train.

The perfect moment does not exist.

Whoever waits for ideal circumstances waits forever. In half an hour we map where you stand and what the logical first step is. You will walk away with something useful either way. If it is not a fit, I will tell you myself.

Half an hour via Google Meet, whenever suits you. Not a good match? I will say so myself.
