Testimonial Training and Nutrition coaching, Fiona Clark (54)

I worked with Paula and Martijn, and it was an incredibly valuable experience. My goals were to build muscle mass, fit better into my clothes, and learn more about how I could support my goals. Thanks to them, I made great progress, such as being able to do more than ten pull-ups and run 5 km.

What I appreciated most was their personal approach. They tailored the training and nutrition to my mindset and preferences, and helped me increase my protein intake without rigid diet plans. They taught me that it doesn’t always have to be perfect, and gave crucial advice on nutrition for my vegetarian diet. Their guidance also improved my sleep and encouraged me to gradually increase the intensity of my strength training.

Paula and Martijn are incredibly approachable and flexible, and I would absolutely recommend them. They truly listen to your goals and provide valuable support, even on topics such as nutrition and sleep during menopause.

Martijn is an exceptional coach who has truly changed my life. His expertise, patience, and empathy have helped me become stronger, both physically and mentally. He doesn’t just teach proper technique; he helps me truly connect with my muscles and train more efficiently and intelligently.

For years, I was eating far too few calories, especially during the last year and a half. I kept going because I saw results in the mirror, but my body was quietly protesting. I ignored the warning signs, which eventually led to low energy, loss of motivation to train, irregular and delayed periods, and even serious health issues. My body looked lean, but it was completely burned out.

After a thorough check-up with Martijn, the data made one thing very clear: my calorie intake needed to return to at least maintenance level. This gave my body the time and space to recover and reset. From there, we closely monitored my measurements and overall well-being. Once my body had recovered and my maintenance level was established, we carefully transitioned into a clean bulking phase, always keeping a close eye on body composition, which was very important to me.

What sets Martijn apart is his ability to read subtle signals and tailor everything to my individual needs. Even when I was dealing with hormonal issues, he provided support and practical tools to help me keep making progress. He looks far beyond the surface and he also checks in on me mentally. We regularly schedule personal or online check-ins, which makes a huge difference.

My eyes have been opened. I have regained my energy, motivation, and confidence and most importantly, my mojo. I am incredibly grateful for his guidance and would recommend him to anyone looking for sustainable results, true understanding, and coaching that genuinely cares.

Testimonial Small Group, Titia (45)

I have been training with Paula for over 9 years and with Martijn for almost 4 years, initially as personal trainers. Paula is extremely skilled in recovery and injury prevention whereas Martijn’s strong skills lie in dietary knowledge. 

For about a year now, I have been training with both of them in a small training group. I really enjoy the size of the group - never more than 4 people at a time - which allows to still have a personal feedback and to personalize the training based on our own challenges or constraints. 

The fact that our group is “female only” allows to share experiences and proves very useful to learn from each other. 

On top of the training sessions, we also have a coaching session on a regular basis on a specific topic of interest chosen by the group. It is also an opportunity to share any goal, ideas for improvement or concern we may have so that the trainings are always useful for us and our trainers get constructive feedback.

A friend of mine suggested Paula to me when I was looking for a personal trainer. After my pregnancy I wanted to play beachvolleybal again, but in the period working towards that goal I went through a series of continuous injuries. First the instability of my pelvis, than my lower back started to hurt, than the calf and ankle. I had trouble finding my limits and respect them in order to build up my strength and conditioning.

When Paula and I met there was a very good "click" from the start, she took the time to listen to my whole story, asked a lot of questions to find out what my real goal was. Not just to be able to play beachvolleybal again, but also to trust my body again and that it can do the things I want. Each time we start a training session she always asks how I am doing/feeling and adjusts the training where needed. This is important for me because I know that even if i'm really tired, I can still train and be happy with what I can do.

She teaches me how to listen to my body, have a bit of patience with myself and my recovery. What I really love as well is when she shares her personal stories, because sometimes all I need is to see things from a different perspective. So far we have been training for almost a year together and I am already looking forward to set goals after my current pregnancy and all that is to come! 

If you are looking for a trainer that listens to you, motivates you, gives you trust in your own abilities and challenges you, then I can recommend you to contact Paula and start training.

Testimonial Personal Training, Niek Wegbrans (42)

I had personal training with Martijn and I am extremely positive about his knowledge and commitment.

Martijn explains everything clearly and has extensive experience in the field of rehabilitation. After a three-month rehabilitation program, during which I recovered from a serious ankle fracture, I am now able to load my ankle pain-free.

Thanks to his new tips and tricks, I receive the right guidance, which not only helps me use my ankle better, but also has a positive impact on my entire body.

Martijn is absolutely highly recommended. I am very satisfied with his training sessions, knowledge, and the motivation he provides.

Thanks to his guidance, I feel stronger and more confident than ever!

I started training with Paula on Sunday's in the summer of 2016. Although i have quite some years of training I love the fact that she always keeps an eye on my technique and makes sure I use the right muscles in each movement. Because the group is small she can adjust the level of a training to what each of us needs. And sometimes I just love to have a heavy training until I literally fall down afterwards.

If you want to train with a fun group of people and have a coach that gives good advises and very diverse training, come and join us!

Testimonial Rehab / Prevention, Jose (57), IT and World Traveler

Paula and I met after a beachvolleybal tournament, I had just mentioned that this was going to be my last one for a while because I was getting a surgery on my shoulder. She asked me directly if I already had a plan for the rehab period after. I had only met with my doctor but I assumed I would work with a physiotherapist and he/she would bring me back to my level of playing sports. At that moment she gave me her contact details and told me that at any point I wanted some extra help I could give her a call. And after 3 months of physio I did, because yes the pain was gone but I still wasn't having the full capacity back in my arm and shoulder to be able to play beachvolleybal again.

Now 11,5 years later we are still training together, because she didn't just got the shoulder fully functioning again but she also made me enjoy the training sessions and see them as a challenge by themselves. In general my goal is to always reach the end of the training and still be able to ride my bike back home. As long as I can do that I'm a happy person.

I would recommend Paula as a trainer, as she is someone who doesn't let you get a way with "half work ethic", but does listen carefully to find the difference between pain and aches.
