My name is Tim Nieuwenhuis, a European certified Personal Trainer (EREPs Level 4), EMS specialist, Bootcamp Trainer, Breathing Coach, and 1st Dan Taekwon-Do Instructor. With 16 years of Taekwon-Do experience and 4 years of professional coaching, I have built a career defined by discipline, results, and continuous growth, all before the age of 21.
My coaching background spans multiple environments: a Taekwon-Do school, a CrossFit facility, a commercial gym, and a professional EMS studio. This diversity has sharpened my ability to train and coach across a wide range of clients, goals, and methods, always within a professional and certified framework.
In Taekwon-Do, I compete and coach at a high level. In 2024, I represented my country at the European Championships in Lublin, Poland. This reflects my commitment to excellence both as an athlete and as a professional within the sport.
I am currently establishing a long-term professional presence in Portugal, where I am co-founding CorePulse, an EMS fitness studio launching in the Algarve in 2026. This venture represents my commitment to contributing to the Portuguese fitness and sports sector in a structured, professional, and sustainable manner.
I hold the following qualifications:
• Personal Trainer — EREPs Level 4
• Bootcamp Trainer
• Breathing Coach (Ademcoach)
• 1st Dan Black Belt — Taekwon-Do
• 4 years teaching Taekwon-Do & fitness coaching
Professional experience includes:

• Commercial gym
• CrossFit facility

I am committed to operating within the regulatory frameworks of the European and Portuguese sports industry and look forward to contributing to the development of professional fitness standards in Portugal.
