Staying fit during pregnancy

Lifestyle Coach & Personal Trainer in Amsterdam

As personal trainers in Amsterdam, we take a holistic, scientific, and orthomolecular approach to restoring your hormonal balance. We strongly believe in the body’s ability to heal itself. By making step-by-step adjustments to your lifestyle in a way that truly suits you, we create sustainable, long-term results.

Realistic Expectations and Sustainable Results

We find promises to be “fit and slim within 30 days” hard to believe. Real, lasting change takes time. By taking a calm and focused approach, you can prevent your body from producing too much cortisol (the stress hormone). This helps you maintain your hormonal balance and stick to your new lifestyle effortlessly.

The Effects of Chronic Stress & High Cortisol

Prolonged elevated cortisol levels disrupt your hormonal balance and can lead to a variety of symptoms:

  • Weight gain: In particular, fat accumulation around the abdominal area due to increased fat storage signals.
  • Sleep Problems & Fatigue: Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or a persistent feeling of fatigue, even after a long night's sleep.
  • High Blood Pressure & the Immune System: Elevated blood pressure and reduced resistance to infections.
  • Digestive problems: Bloating, IBS symptoms, constipation, or diarrhea.
  • Mood Swings & Burnout: An increased risk of feelings of anxiety, sadness, or mental exhaustion.
  • Hormonal imbalance: Irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, or reduced fertility.
  • Loss of Muscle Mass: Accelerated muscle breakdown and reduced muscle strength.

Do these symptoms sound familiar? Our experienced lifestyle coaches and personal trainers in Amsterdam (South & West) are ready to work with you to build a healthy, symptom-free lifestyle.

Personal Coach for a sustainable and healthy lifestyle

Unfortunately, there’s no magic pill for losing fat quickly. Even a strict diet often leads only to a yo-yo effect, hormonal imbalance, and frustration in the long run. So what does actually work to help you achieve your dream body and optimal health?

The Answer: A Lifestyle That Suits You for the Long Term

Your daily lifestyle plays a key role. If you really want to make a change, goal-oriented personal training is the solution. We don’t just focus on working up a sweat at the gym; we create a comprehensive plan that includes strength training, nutrition, recovery, and mindset.

Feel free to contact Personal Trainer for Health in Amsterdam. Our experienced personal trainers are ready to assist you at our locations in Amsterdam Zuid (De Pijp) and Amsterdam West.

Strength Training & Fall Prevention for People 60+ in Amsterdam Zuid

Staying strong and healthy is also very important as you get older. Starting at age 60, muscle strength declines more rapidly, yet muscle mass and stability are essential for continuing to move independently, staying fit, and staying safe. We offer safe strength training and fall prevention programs specifically designed for people over 60 in a calm and familiar environment.

Our training sessions are fully tailored to your personal level and fitness capacity. Here’s what we’ll work on together:

  • Strength & Balance: Maintaining muscle mass, improving posture, and effectively preventing falls.
  • Exercising Safely When Experiencing Symptoms: Responsible Guidance for Osteoarthritis, Back or Knee Problems, and Osteoporosis.
  • Holistic Approach: In addition to targeted training, we also focus on nutrition, recovery, and sleep to help you feel your best.

Everything is conveniently located under one roof at our Amsterdam Zuid location.

Strength training for seniors aged 60+, increased vitality, and fall prevention.

DOING WHAT YOU LIKE IS FREEDOM. LOVING WHAT YOU DO IS HAPPINESS.

Let's Get Started on Your Hormonal Balance

Hormones such as insulin, leptin, ghrelin, cortisol, and estrogen play a major role in determining how you feel. They regulate your energy levels, mood, and appetite, but they also determine whether energy is converted into muscle mass or stored as fat on your belly and hips.

Our modern lifestyle—with processed foods, a lack of targeted exercise, and chronic stress—quickly throws these hormones out of balance. An optimal hormonal balance is the key to a healthy, fit, and energetic life with a minimal risk of health issues.

Sustainable Change: The 80/20 Rule

No one is happy on a strict diet, constantly starving themselves, and feeling grumpy. Being too strict takes an enormous amount of willpower and almost always leads to a relapse. Real change comes from small, achievable steps.

We believe in the 80/20 rule: if you make conscious, healthy choices 80% of the time, you can relax and stray from them 20% of the time without compromising your results. That’s how we work together to create a lifestyle that you can maintain effortlessly and that makes you truly happy in both the short and long term.

In the end, we all want to be happy, full of fine energy, vitality and love.

A fit, healthy and strong body contributes a lot to this.

Do you choose the journey to health and happiness?

TESTIMONIALS PERSONAL TRAINER AMSTERDAM

Fresh Fitness Amsterdam

Markus Torenstra

Denise has been one of Fresh's regulars for years! Many clients are very satisfied with her and very good results are achieved! Denise is a personal trainer who has many sides. She can be strict but also has a listening ear and can motivate you very well. Knows a lot about nutrition and hormone training, a real winner!

testimonial by Eva Personal Trainer Amsterdam

Eve of Rooy

I have been training with Danielle for over a year and I really like it! She is a very good listener, super sweet, remembers literally everything you say and has a good sense of what is possible and when there is room for that extra training! I would recommend her to everyone;
in the field of nutrition/ mindset/ body complaints/ strength training/ cardio! Everything actually.

Sabrina Jabaaij

Sabrina Jabaaij

From personal experience I can say that Daniëlle is a very competent person in her field. Together with Denise, Daniëlle guided me (and still guides me) in my weight loss process after the gastric bypass last June. After 8 months I am now 42 kg lighter, by following a healthy diet and by doing targeted strength training. Dietician, personal trainer, coach and above all top woman (!), all in one.
You are a star! 💪🏻

Testimonial Sanne Pasman

Sanne Pasman

A year ago I started working out with Denise. I had given birth to my second child 2 months before and was completely out of shape. I had taken it well during my pregnancies and was over 10 pounds heavier than before. But I was extremely motivated to lose weight so that I would be completely "in shape" at my planned wedding 10 months later. Without Denise I would never have succeeded. Denise is really a top personal trainer and definitely the best in Amsterdam.

Training at Personal Trainer for Health Amsterdam

Jolijn van de Pol

Since the end of August 2016 I started working with a personal trainer Denise Hamelijnck - Den Ouden! Since I was a bit insecure about my "dancer's body" I wanted to do something about it to literally and figuratively feel better in my skin!
Meanwhile, 5 months later, with good training and nutrition, I have come from a fat percentage of 27.5 to 17.5 and lost a total of 8.9 kg of fat from my body!

I am quite proud of my results and very happy with my personal trainer! And we will continue!

Testimonial Personal Trainer for Health

Sanne Krijnen

For years I had been walking around with a lot of complaints and being overweight. I had tried everything to combat it, but nothing had really worked. Nobody knew exactly what was going on and what would work. Until I found Denise on the internet about six months ago. I e-mailed my story and in the evening I immediately got an e-mail back with clarity and an appointment. A little doubtful I went there, after all I had seen many people who thought they could help me. But Denise really delivered, she is everything you could want in a personal trainer. I have never been so happy. Thanks a lot Denise.
