Sound familiar?

Your family and career grew.
Your health got postponed.

I'm drained by 3 pm.

Back-to-back meetings, poor sleep and coffee on repeat.

My back and hips feel older than me.

Hours at a desk show up as stiffness and small aches.

I've tried gyms. It never sticks.

Generic programmes don't survive a busy month.

There's too much advice online.

Every week a new diet, a new rule, a new contradiction.

Why I coach

I've lived the busy life. I coach from it.

For twenty years I've been building companies and communities in Brussels. I co-founded transforma bxl, a coworking and innovation space, and spent my days with founders, managers and creatives doing brilliant work.

I watched too many of them, myself included, trade their health for their work, one "next quarter" at a time.

I still run transforma bxl and other ventures today. Coaching isn't a career change for me. It's the work I care about most, so I treat it with the same rigour: I qualified with the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach, and in 2023 co-founded Synups to bring health, fitness and wellbeing into the workplace. That's why our studio sits inside transforma bxl, a few steps from people's desks.

I'm 47 and already knocking on the door of 50. I'm also a husband and a father of three, so I know what a modern dad's week looks like: performing at work, keeping up with the kids' busy schedules, and still making time for your partner. And I know that small, consistent changes beat heroic ones.

What I bring

"I don't have time." I've said it too.

Every client I meet starts with a good reason not to start. Here is how we get past each one, together.

I don't have time.

We get you organised

We look at your real week together, find the time that's already there, and protect it like your most important meeting.

Work is crazy right now.

We train efficiently

No bullshit, no wasted hours. Short, focused sessions built on what works for a body over 40.

I'll start when things calm down.

We start small, today

Things won't calm down by themselves. A few simple habits now give you back energy you can feel within weeks.

I've tried before. It never sticks.

We keep you on track

A clear plan, regular check-ins and measured progress, so you see results and keep going when life gets busy.

The principle

Take care of the pilot,
every passenger on board stays safe.

Your career, your family and your team all depend on you. Looking after your body and mind isn't selfish. It's how you keep performing for everyone who counts on you, and how you take back control of your health and your life.

Let's find your time

I coach in person in Overijse and at Synups in Evere, Brussels, as well as online.

How I train you

Functional strength for real life.

NASM certified · Functional fitness

Strong for the life you actually live.

Functional training means working the movements your life asks of you: lifting, carrying, bending, getting up off the floor, playing with your kids, without pain. Every programme is built on three tools.

Kettlebells, my main focus. Swings, get-ups, carries and presses build strength, power and conditioning in short, efficient sessions.
Bodyweight. Squats, lunges, push-ups and core work you can do anywhere, even in a hotel room.
Calisthenics. Pull-ups, dips and bar work, scaled to your level and progressed step by step.

Move like you did at 20. Smarter.

Animal Flow is a ground-based bodyweight method that builds mobility, strength and coordination at the same time. It's a big part of how I train clients over 40: no heavy loads needed, gentle on the joints, and you feel the difference after the first sessions.

Nutrition coaching

Half of the results happen in the kitchen.

NASM Certified Nutrition Coach

Eat to nourish, not to restrict.

You can't out-train your plate. Nutrition is half of the results, and it's often the hardest part with a busy job and a family to feed. We make it simple and sustainable.

Start from your real life. Your current meals, your schedule, your family table. No forbidden foods, no crash diets.
A few habits that matter. Enough protein, more vegetables, smart hydration, fewer energy crashes.
Plan for busy weeks. Simple meal planning and strategies for business lunches, travel and evenings with the kids.
Track and adjust. We follow your energy, sleep, weight and performance, and adjust together.

Longevity

The work pays off twice.

You came for more energy and less stiffness. The same training that fixes that now is what keeps you strong, sharp and independent for decades. One plan, two payoffs.

Longevity is my own passion. I follow the research closely, test it on myself first, and bring what works into every client's plan.

What we build What you feel this month What it protects for life

Heart and lungs

This monthClimb the stairs without thinking, keep up with the kids, recover faster from a hard week.

For lifeCardio fitness is one of the strongest markers of how long, and how well, you live.

Strength and muscle

This monthFewer aches, a back that holds up at the desk, a body that feels like yours again.

For lifeMuscle fades from midlife unless you train it. Keeping it is how you stay independent.

Stability and balance

This monthLift, carry and move with confidence, without the fear of tweaking something.

For lifeGood balance protects you from the falls that change everything later on.

Steady energy

This monthNo 3 pm crash, better sleep, a clearer head in meetings.

For lifeHealthy blood sugar and blood pressure lower your risk of the big chronic diseases of ageing.

Think of what you never want to give up: hiking with your family, travelling, getting down on the floor with your kids, and one day your grandkids. We protect that list, starting this week.
