    Comprehensive fitness online coaching - from programme planning to feedback

    I am a qualified fitness coach in Hong Kong and have obtained the Hong Kong China Bodybuilding and Fitness Association Certificate of Coaching (Level 2). I have worked in a fitness and wellness club in Hong Kong as a trainer for six years before I moved to the Netherlands to pursue my Physiotherapy degree at the Amsterdam University of Applied Science. Currently I am in my final year. I completed my four-month internship at Fitter Club Utrecht in January 2020, in which I provided trainings to individual clients and groups.
    For the comprehensive online coaching session, you will find everything you need. The tailor-made training programme will be set up before the first session, according to the goal and expectation of the client.
    The programme will be planned based on criteria such as:
    • Strength
    • Power
    • Hypertrophy
    • Muscular endurance
    • Weight loss
    • Low/High impact cardio
    • Yoga/Pilates
    • Rehabilitation
    The session will be fun and effective. The exercises could be different in every session, so you would not get bored with a repetitive routine. Most importantly, all your muscles will be activated and developed evenly.

    During the session, there will be clear and step-by-step demonstrations of each exercise at different angles, followed by detailed explanations. Then, I will monitor the movement carefully, giving supportive advice and hearing needs.

    The human body structure is complicated, yet it could be explained in an interesting way. I like to share my knowledge about physiotherapy with my clients in daily-life words, so they can understand better how the mechanism works but will not get frustrated with theories.

    “Why the knees should not be bended over the toes while doing squats?”
    “What is the difference between the Bicep curls and the Hammer curls?”
    These myths (or any special/rare questions) will be busted for you!

    Beside the exercises, more things can be covered:
    • Advice on choosing the suitable equipment
    • Alternative choices for equipment
    • Recommendations for the outfit
    • Safety precautions
    • Book recommendations

    The classes can be conducted in English or Chinese, the schedule can be flexibly arranged and the classes can be individual or in groups. Music can be put on according to clients’ needs, you just have to smile and shake your body!

    “Kenneth is a great personal trainer who is skillful, patient, professional and a nice guy as well. I highly recommend him as your online coach!” - Wibo

    “Kenneth is a personable personal trainer. He puts you in the spotlight. Kenneth is really focused on you performing with correct movement. I’ve experienced him coming back on an exercise from the week before: he looked things up, asked around; and came to the conclusion the start position had to be a little bit different. That’s what I like: he really gets into it. You are training performing at your best and getting the most results possible; that’s his focus. And he approaches it scientifically. Next to that: he is open and easy to talk to. He is an all-rounded nice guy, who gets things done.” -Joeri

    GCSE PE, Sport Science, Btec Sport Level 3- Help with exam and coursework preparation.
    As the head of a PE department, I have taught in a variety of different schools since qualifying in 2014. My degree is in both Sport Science and Sport Coaching, which means my knowledge of Physical Education analysis is both extensive and wide ranging. I am very passionate about sports and teaching; I have taught many students during my career. I have taught students for whom English was not their first language, students who were D/E borderline - managing to get C grades, along with those students who were wishing to achieve the A/A* grades. In the summer, I work as an examiner/moderator for OCR and understand what is required in order to achieve a positive grade in the subject.

    Yoga & Meditation with an International Certified Teacher!
    Yoga is a way of life! All you have to do is set aside some time and leave the rest to me. The process will make you feel better. You will enjoy this journey:) Yoga is much more than what we see on social media ;) Yoga was first referenced in the ancient sacred Rig Ved literature. Yoga = Yuj/Yoke/unite-union-joining (with the divine wisdom of the universe). Yoga, according to yoga sutra philosophy, is concentration. It is a holistic science based on yoga philosophy. It encompasses the whole person: body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. We will concentrate on your personalized approach!! Especially for you! You will have my whole attention. Bring back the ability to breathe, relax, and regenerate while performing some amazing asanas, kriya, mudra, and pranayama. There are many more. After the practice, you will feel revitalized. Consider it. These sensations are positive and will carry over into your daily lives. Take a deep breath and don't think too hard. Schedule a session and enjoy the ride! I teach overseas, in addition to business organizations and individual customers. Aside from Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga, I understand you and work accordingly. So, let's see you on the mat. NAMASTE

    My class is based on the famous Vaganova method. Therefore during our work we will focus on the correct technique of movement and its style, so you will learn not only how to do elements correctly but also will understand how to make your dance look beautiful and catching for audience. Also I stand for a positive approach in the educational process, because I am deeply convinced that this kind of attitude is one of the main keys to improvement.
