The training goals are determined by means of an intake interview.

During this initial conversation, we discuss your current level of physical activity (or inactivity), any injuries you may have, whether there are medical limitations, what kind of exercise you did previously, how you think your quality of life and athletic performances can be increased, your eating habits, etc…

It is very important to set and maintain realistic goals and to raise the bar only when these are reached. This approach allows for continued improvement and for permanent progress. It will also allow you to experience novel physical stimuli gradually.

Personal goals can be, but are not limited to:

• Weight loss
• Well-being (‘feeling good’)
• Volume training (bodybuilding)
• Endurance training
• Stress management
• Body correction
• Increasing muscle mass (after revalidation)
• Flexibility and coordination (to prevent injuries)

Sport-specific issues

• Core strength & stability
• Sprint speed
• Jump power
• Punch power
• Explosivity
• Reaction time
• ...

But also:

• Running 5km – 10km – 16km – ½ or full marathon
• Giving up smoking without weight gain
• Preventing back problems
• Improving your sex life
• In preparation of physically demanding tasks (project, movie, tour, ...)

Several additional benefits will become apparent, even before the preset goals are achieved. Some examples are:

• Increased energy level
• Decreased sensitivity to stress
• Improved sleep
• A well-toned body
• Higher self-esteem
• Improved endurance (more efficiënt and natural)
• Greater insuline sensitivity
