Traded 2am doomscrolling for 3 lifts a week.
We started with one honest chat about his sleep and his back. Eight weeks in he's off painkillers on desk days and actually looks forward to Tuesday mornings.

About your coach
Coaching for expats. Built for real life abroad.
I've been a coach for the past 6 years — most of it as a nomad myself, training expats across different cities, time zones and gyms. I know what it feels like to land in a new country, lose your routine, and try to rebuild it while the rest of your life is still in boxes.
That's exactly why I'm here — to help the people going through the same reset find their rhythm again in Eindhoven.
Before coaching full-time, I spent a year and a half working in a warehouse — lifting boxes 8 to 12 hours a day, listening to coworkers talk about back pain, sore knees and stiff joints like they were just part of the job. Same story I hear now from expats hunched over a laptop 10 hours a day at ASML, Philips or HTC.
Prevention is better than cure.
Would you agree?
With the right tools you can protect your back and walk out of a long day still feeling energized — the same system I use with every expat client, whether they sit at a desk all day or travel back home every other month.
The biggest lesson I keep coming back to: consistency beats intensity. The trick isn't training harder — it's weaving fitness into your new life in the Netherlands and keeping it non-negotiable, even when work and relocation get loud.
WHAT YOU'LL GET WITH ME
- Back-protection routines for laptop-heavy expat schedules
- Programs that flex around relocations, travel and time zones
- English coaching, honest assessment, zero fluff

Receipts
Trusted by Brainport expats.
"Moved to Eindhoven for ASML 8 months ago and Thomas trains me at 7am most days before standup — I forgot how frustrating it was to try and find time until we started."
Daniel R.
Senior engineer · ASML
"Those 10-hour days on the laptop used to leave my back in pieces. Thomas fixed my posture and my energy started coming back. He actually gets what a desk job does to you."
Priya S.
Product lead · Philips
"The private studio is great, but sometimes I prefer working out in the privacy of my own home. I absolutely love that both are an option."
Lena K.
Expat · High Tech Campus
Community wins
Small shifts. Real routines.
Not before-and-after photos. Just short stories from expats in Eindhoven who found a rhythm that actually fits their life — and stuck with it because someone had their back.
Found her people, not just a program.
Joined the small-group sessions to meet other expats. Now she trains twice a week with two friends she met here — accountability built in, no reminders needed.
A routine that survives airports.
We built a 20-minute hotel version of his plan. Six months later he hasn't lost the habit once, even during three back-to-back work trips.
Back pain gone, energy back by 3pm.
Two mobility resets a day and one strength session a week. Small changes, stacked consistently — that's the whole story.
Every story started with one message and zero pressure. If any of these sound like you, come say hi.
