NederlandsFitness personal training
Personalized guidance by a certified Personal Trainer with the goal of losing weight, getting fitter and stronger. We give (exercise) advice, guide and motivate during the execution of a program adapted to your personal sporting goals and adjust where necessary.
We offer you a smart and efficient way to work on yourself. As a personal trainer and coach, we will guide you to go through life fitter and healthier. Sport is the best way to combat physical problems after a long day sitting at your desk and the many stresses in our daily lives. However, it is important to learn to exercise the right way. As a Personal Trainer we go beyond a standard sports experience : gaining muscle mass and strength in a responsible way, losing weight, toning, ...
You exercise and train at your own pace: one, two, three or more times a week. Fortunately, it never gets boring! Together we look for challenging exercises that are not only in line with your sporting level but also provide the perfect balance between strength and conditioning. More muscle mass, more endurance, or just striving for a beautiful body? Together we make it work!

Strength Training
Redert Van de Velde Personal Training
Strength training is one of the best and - for many people - the most unknown way to lose weight permanently. This is because strength training is largely about the so-called afterburn effect. More muscle mass burns more calories. Even if you don't exercise and just sit on the couch, your metabolism will be higher. By doing strength training, you build muscle mass. Muscles need energy and burn calories to work. The more muscle you have, the more energy your body needs and thus burns calories.
Strength training is suitable for both men and women. Many women are afraid of becoming too muscular when they do strength training, however women only have 1/17th of the testosterone of men, the hormone that allows building muscle. People nowadays think far too quickly that they will get bodies like bodybuilders, as seen on the front pages of fitness magazines. A huge misconception about strength training! Women have less testosterone in their bodies than men. Want to get a tighter body? Then strength training really is a must. You really don't need to spend hours on cardio to get a nicer shaped body. For tighter buttocks, legs or arms, you still need to start strength training.
Research shows that the average adult has a decline in metabolism (metabolic rate) of 2 to 5 percent per 10 years of their life. Strength training can help you counteract the loss of muscle mass and maintain your metabolism. If you do nothing in strength training, you will lose nearly half a pound of lean muscle mass per year after age 25. That means your body (or muscles), is burning 30 to 50 fewer calories per day. Since there is little chance that you will eat less starting at age 25, your body will store more and more fat. Losing weight with strength training is not just limited to the numbers on your scale. Because muscle, per pound occupies about four times less space than body fat, you will therefore become leaner.
For Men
More and fuller muscles | less fat mass
For women
Tighter body | beautiful curves | bikini-proof
Of course, the intensity of the strength training will be tailored to your personal goal: do you just want to be a little bit firmer? Or do you want to go for a real "beach body"? Strength training can be practiced in any form and intensity. We will create a personalized schedule for you!
Cardio Training
Redert Van de Velde Personal Training
Cardio stands for cardiovascular fitness or cardiovascular training. Maximum oxygen consumption, the use of oxygen for energy, is known as the VO2max. This is also known as the maximum aerobic capacity and is a good indicator of the results that can be achieved with cardio training. Therefore, if you want to increase endurance in daily life or be able to run longer, you can do so using cardio exercises.
Because there is a strong increase in blood flow during cardio workouts, this improves the quality of your blood vessels. This reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by both strengthening the heart and improving the quality of your blood vessels. Another benefit is that it has a positive effect on your blood pressure.In the case of type II diabetes, there is a disturbance in glucose metabolism because the body has become insensitive to insulin. Doing cardio training can improve insulin sensitivity and thereby slow or even completely reverse the disease process. Of note, research shows that an exercise program with only cardio training, as opposed to a strength training program, did not lead to improvements in inflammatory factor concentrations.

Yolanda Van Mechelen
Review RT Training Leuven"Super communicatieve sessies, zeer intense sessies, hyper persoonlijke aanpak en duidelijk merkbare vooruitgang. Dankzij coach Redert heb ik mijn eerste marathon tot een goed einde gebracht, voel ik me dagelijks fitter en kan ik wekelijks met ontzettend veel plezier enorm afzien."
Righard Bruyns
Review RT Training Leuven"Ik werk al een paar jaar met Redert (en ja, hij laat je hard werken). Hij heeft me doorheen Diabetes en een gastric bypass begeleid tot ik 40kg lichter en diabetesvrij was. Daarna heeft hij me ook geholpen bij de recuperatie na een ontwrichte schouder en een gebroken pols. Het is een plezier met iemand te werken die je niet alleen zegt wat je moet doen maar ook uitlegt waarom en hoe ... Een ongelofelijke persoonlijke touch."
