In oktober 2021 ben ik na mijn bevalling met als doel: afvallen, begonnen bij Edwin met trainen. Edwin ken ik al vanaf mijn jongere jaren. Nog nooit eerder had ik krachttraining gedaan. Ik vond dat voor alfa mannen en zag daar niet veel in. In het begin was het voor mij vooral kennis maken met techniek. Het doel van Edwin was om mijn pezen en spieren klaar te stomen voor de ‘serieuze’ kilo’s. Hij zei tegen mij: over een x aantal maanden kan je je eigen gewicht squatten. Wat deed ik: ik lachte hem uit en geloofde het niet.
Als je twee keer in de week bezig bent met krachttraining en je begint de techniek te begrijpen is niks minder waar.
Voordat de training start vraagt hij hoe je lichaam voelt die dag en hoe het met je gaat. Zo kan hij de training erop aanpassen of het vaste schema door laten gaan.
Edwin heeft nog eerder in de gaten dan jijzelf wanneer een oefening te zwaar is (voor die dag) of de techniek aangepast moet worden. Dit doet hij door voorbeelden te laten zien en aan te geven wat je moet aanspannen of moet oprekken tijdens de oefening. Soms duwt hij op het punt op je lichaam tijdens de oefening zodat daar je focus heen gaat en je de techniek (sneller) door hebt.
In augustus 2023 heeft er in mijn privé leven een traumatische gebeurtenis plaats gevonden. Hierdoor viel ik 2 maanden uit en was ik mentaal niet in staat om te trainen. Na 2 maanden heb ik aangegeven dat ik graag weer een uurtje wilde komen trainen.
Om ervoor te zorgen dat mijn hoofd leeg gemaakt kon worden. Kreeg ik oefeningen op maat. Een oefening waarbij ik veel moest nadenken over de oefening. Zodat je even uit je dagelijkse gedachten wordt getrokken en alleen maar bezig bent met de training. Langzaam weer opbouwen, werken met lichte gewichten, maar wel met een voldaan gevoel weer de deur uitlopen. Tijdens de training kon ik mijn verhaal kwijt, luisterde Edwin en ging ik daarna weer door met de oefening.

I contacted Edwin because I wanted to prepare for an open swimming competition, and it has been the best choice! After assessing my starting point, Edwin supported me with gym and swimming exercises, always with a positive attitude and a smile :) he managed to motivate me, adjusting to my rhythm and without pushing me. With his help I managed to reach my goals. If you are looking for an expert coach, capable of making training fun, Edwin is your guy!
