From industrial engineer
to personal trainer

I bring an engineer’s analytical approach to personal coaching, helping busy professionals build a training routine that fits their lives and supports lasting progress.

Training that fits your life

I know what it is like to balance work, personal life and exercise. I build realistic training plans around your schedule, goals and lifestyle.

My analytical approach and years of experience help me plan your training around the time you have available.

A personal interest that became my profession

What started as a personal interest grew into a lasting passion for sport, nutrition and health.

I keep learning through courses, reading and new research. My coaching draws on both practical experience and established training methods.

The training behind my coaching

Training, nutrition and health are constantly developing. I continue to invest in courses, further education and current scientific research.

This helps me base your coaching on current knowledge and established methods rather than passing trends.
