Personal trainer from Antwerp
"Sterk Werk is my mision"
Sport has been the central theme of my life for 17 years. It has given me discipline, structure and mental resilience, even during demanding jobs in sectors such as manufacturing, hospitality and the diamond industry.
From hard work to Sterk Werk
In 2009, I was a 15-year-old boy who was overweight, insecure and searching for my place in the world. Fitness became my lifeline. Not because it was easy, but because I set myself one rule: never give up.
The path to a healthy lifestyle was anything but straightforward. I made mistakes. Lots of mistakes. I switched gyms, put on weight again, lost muscle mass, had my doubts… but I never gave up. Every setback taught me something.
I combined intense training sessions with demanding jobs: in industry, twelve years in the hospitality sector, and later in the diamond industry. Sport became my anchor. For 17 years, it was the common thread that kept everything bearable, both physically and mentally.
Over the years, not only has my knowledge grown, but so too has my passion for helping others who recognise themselves in that struggle. I undertook training courses, qualified as a fitness instructor and personal trainer, and discovered new training methods, approaches and dietary plans that really do deliver results.
STERK WERK was born out of personal experience
A concept that goes beyond just training. It’s a way to become stronger in life, to turn difficult circumstances into opportunities for growth, and to become a better version of yourself, for your own sake and for the people around you.
I have been officially coaching people as a personal trainer since 2024. I take a results-oriented approach, combining discipline with empathy. The results and testimonials speak for themselves.

Most frequent questions and answers
Every client starts with a different goal: to lose weight, build muscle, get stronger, recover from injury, or simply feel better about themselves. That’s why I don’t offer a ‘one-size-fits-all’ price, but instead provide programmes tailored to your fitness level and schedule. Those who opt for long-term coaching usually see results faster and find it easier to stick with it.

Couples/family coaching is ideal for:
couples who want to get fitter together
friends looking for a little extra motivation
parent and child training
families who want to live healthier lives
You train together, but I make sure everyone progresses at their own pace.
Yes. Personal training at home is one of the quickest ways to stay consistent. No travelling, no excuses, just training.
You will receive:
a clear approach at your own pace
coaching on technique and posture
efficient sessions (no time wasted)
maximum focus on results
Whether you want to lose weight, get stronger or get back into shape: working out at home can be surprisingly effective.
No, I don’t offer set meal plans.
But: you’re certainly not on your own. During coaching, you’ll receive clear guidance on healthy habits, structure and achievable choices that suit your lifestyle. No extreme diets, just an approach you can stick to.
We do not currently offer online personal training. However: Online personal training is definitely on the way
Behind the scenes, we are working on an online programme that will offer the same quality and structure as our in-gym coaching.
