Personal trainer in Ghent, Belgium

In Ghent I train clients at JIMS Rooigem, always as part of a coaching program. It is built for driven people who want to improve their health with an approach grounded in science and data. Strength training sits at the center, and the system follows your whole week, outside the gym too.

De Bouwmethode™: a system that works in your real life

De Bouwmethode is the coaching system in which strength training, nutrition, lifestyle and sleep are tackled together as four building blocks. You start with the block where you have the most to gain right now. Only once that one holds does the next one come in. The method rests on seven years of strength training in practice, on more than 25 completed journeys and on 443 scientific studies. It is built for people with a full schedule who have already started over several times.

Who am I?

HistorianData geekPersonal trainerCoachNutrition coachNerdIT 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 and eating disorders. 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 Ghent, Belgium. Warm, direct and grounded in science.

Frequently asked questions

Where do we train in Ghent?
At JIMS Ghent Rooigem, Rooigemlaan 2c. The gym is spacious and open and the people there are pleasant. During a session we move through the whole gym, depending on the exercise. The dumbbells go up to 40 kilos.
What are the opening hours?
JIMS Ghent Rooigem is open Monday to Friday from 7 am to 10 pm and at weekends from 9 am to 5 pm. On public holidays the club is open from 9 am to 5 pm. It is closed on Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
What does a personal trainer in Ghent cost?
Personal training is part of a coaching program: High Performance 1:1 Health Coaching, with a minimum of 12 weeks, on application only. Sessions in the gym are booked alongside it at €80 per session. More on the coaching page.
Can I also train with you in person in Ghent?
Yes, alongside your coaching. You book personal training in Ghent, Belgium as an add-on and we work on your technique and your heaviest lifts together in the gym.
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, parking is free. With a parking disc you can stay for two hours and you also find a spot around 6 pm. Your bike is parked safely at the club.
Can I come by bus?
Yes. The Gent Malem bus stop is about 200 metres from the club.
What is nearby?
Right next to the club is an Aldi. After your training you can buy nutritious food for your next meal straight away.

Cannot get to this location or is it too far?

Then the app or High Performance 1:1 Health Coaching is probably a better fit for you. Same method and same follow-up, wherever you train.
