Testimonials
I have been training with Elles for more then 3 years now and
although I am long "hooked" and disciplined to sport on my own, on a regular basis, I still benefit from the advantages of working with a
personal trainer.
Elles keeps on challenging me and finding creative new ways to keep the training effective and fun. All I have to do is show up…
It is rare to meet a person who is so passionate, professional and dedicated to her work, which is why I am glad I decided to work with Elles.
And if she managed to get me into a training routine, than she can for sure do it with you!
I have recently completed the 10 days Sportfasting program under the supervision of
Elles as my trainer. Completing the program benefitted me not only physically, as I lost close to 5kg and became fitter, but also mentally. Going through
the 10 days process with minimal food put my approach to eating, as well as the feeling of hunger, into a different perspective.
Having the daily support from Elles was a crucial part of the successful completion of the program. Without her I would have probably stopped after
day 7. Elles managed to motivate me during the tougher moments and provide me with correct information to all my questions.
Although I will probably repeat the program in the future, I perfectly realize that Sportvasting is not a wonder remedy, or a short cut to losing weight.
Only a healthy consistent lifestyle will have you loss weight and maintain the results, but supervised Sportvasten in combination with such lifestyle,
can contribute to that goal. Click here for more information about Sportfasting.
I have been working out with Elles for over two years. The results have
been wonderful. Elles listens very closely to her client's needs and creates a routine focused on obtaining results.
But that's not all, she also motivates her clients to live healthier lives and think of the big picture in terms of their overall
health and well being. Elles went out of her way to speak to my physical therapist to better understand
issues I was having, and worked with me and the physio to revise my work-out program accordingly.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Elles!
I am a man who has played sports for his
whole life, and has trained five times per week for over thirty years.
I have worked with many trainers in Amsterdam and other cities, and Elles is the best I have found.
She is very precise about technique, tailors your program perfectly to your needs and abilities, and
is always positive and motivating.
When I had a back injury she created special exercises and I have had no more problems since then.
Also my friends notice that I have become even stronger and I always respond that it is from "trainenmetelles."
I always look forward our training sessions..
Before meeting Elles, I had been training for roughly a decade
by myself, using books and magazines as a guide. Although I had built up muscle mass, my body never seemed to look the
way I hoped it would when I started training. Frustrated, I decided to look for a trainer and luckily decided to go
with Elles. At first I wasn't so sure when she completely changed the way I trained focussing on things I mistakenly
had thought were 'unimportant'. Things she knew were the vital areas I had neglected that held the key to my success.
Within a few weeks the changes in my body were pretty radical! My friends were all admiring the improvements and
I was feeling great. She also very cleverly found a way to strengthen an injured knee by developing all the
supporting areas around it; and now full free standing barbell squats - an exercise impossible for me to do before -
have become the cornerstone of my workout routine!
Now almost 6 months later I have very nearly reached that illusive ideal mental picture of my body I have striven
for for over a decade. More than that I cannot ask for!
Additionally, Elles listens carefully to my needs and the swiftly designs my exercise programme accordingly.
She is always teaching me new tricks and techniques and just when I think I have got a technique mastered she
shows me how to take it that one step further! She knows exactly what needs to change and when, how to motivate me
and keep me interested in my workouts; and most importantly she is a LOT of fun to work out with. I can't recommend her
more highly, and I hope to be training with her for a long time to come!
Thanks Elles you are the wonderwoman! ;-)
Best, Chad
