About me

Hi, I'm Gian

I help you feel good in your own body again.

My style is personal. I look at you, not at a standard plan: at how you move, what your goal is and how you feel today.

We work on your technique, your mobility and your vitality, at a pace that suits you. I tell you honestly what I see and I think along with you.

My background

Former pro basketball player

As a pro basketball player, my body was my job. That taught me how much technique, recovery and moving well matter. I bring that same attention to every workout, whether you are just starting or have been training for years.

10 years in the Dutch Eredivisie

My story

Why I became a personal trainer

Sport is my passion. After my basketball career, I worked in a corporate office job for eight years. I found that hard to keep up: the work was too far removed from what gives me energy as a person.

I wanted to work with people, focus on health and sport, and give people something of real value in their daily lives. So I retrained as a certified personal trainer. In this work, everything comes together for me, and it truly gives me energy.

I combine what I learned in my training courses with my experience as an athlete. And because I spent eight years behind a desk myself, I know how hard it can be to look after your body next to your job. I take that into account.

My approach

What I focus on

Technique

Right first, then heavy. I teach you to do each exercise in a way that fits your body.

Mobility

More room to move, so lifting, bending and turning feel natural again.

Vitality

More energy on an ordinary Tuesday, not just during your workout.
