Founder of Calisthenics Amsterdam
Calisthenics Amsterdam was born in 2018 out of both passion and personal transformation. For me, fitness was never just about building muscle – it was about finding balance, strength, and confidence in life itself.
Years before, I worked as a police officer, always pushing, always performing. On the outside I looked strong, but inside I felt disconnected.
It wasn’t until a trip to Bali – filled with movement, meditation, and rediscovering presence – that I realized what true strength meant. Strength is not only physical, it’s also the ability to slow down, to listen to yourself, and to keep moving forward even when life gets heavy.
When I returned home, I knew I wanted to create a space where others could feel that same shift. Calisthenics Amsterdam became that space – not just a gym, but a community built on guidance, accountability, and care.
Here, people come for pull-ups and handstands, but what they leave with is self-belief, resilience, and often friendships for life. Every time I see someone achieve their first pull-up, or finally feel proud of what their body can do, I’m reminded why I started. This is more than training – it’s transformation.
