About me:

I am a wellness and fitness professional with experience in personal training, luxury hospitality, quality management and operational improvement.

At Nagomi Gym & Wellness within Hotel Okura Amsterdam, I provide personalised fitness coaching to members, hotel guests and colleagues. I currently train approximately 12 different members each week, adapting every programme and session to the individual’s objectives, physical capabilities and personal circumstances.

I enjoy helping people make sustainable progress through practical training, clear communication and consistent personal attention. Building trust is central to my approach, whether I am working with an experienced athlete, someone returning to exercise or a client taking their first steps towards a healthier lifestyle.

As the longest-serving personal trainer in the current Nagomi team, I also support new colleagues as they become familiar with our working methods, service standards and member approach. Colleagues regularly approach me for practical advice, giving me the opportunity to contribute beyond my own training sessions.

My earlier career includes ten years as Quality Assurance Manager at Ardol B.V., where I coordinated production and sales processes, worked with suppliers and producers, supervised an assistant and contributed to the successful launch of several new products. Maintaining consistently high quality and very low customer return levels was a central part of my responsibility.

I also served for two years on the Works Council of Hotel Okura Amsterdam, representing employee perspectives and contributing to constructive discussions regarding workplace and organisational matters.

This combination of hands-on coaching, member service, operational awareness and quality management enables me to contribute both on the gym floor and behind the scenes.

I am particularly interested in opportunities involving personal training, gym or wellness operations, member experience, team support and the continued development of high-quality fitness services.
