Thanks Physical Coaching Academy 🙏

Meet the PCA Certified Personal Trainer ! Every week we put one of our students in the spotlight, this week you will meet Thomas Jansen, working full-time as a Personal Trainer since 2016.

1️⃣ Can you introduce yourself ?
Hi there, my name is Thomas. I am 26 years old, living in Bree. I’ve been a self-employed Personal Trainer since 4 years now. I graduated as an electromechanical engineer. However, I have never worked in this sector. After finishing my education I decided to follow my passion for sports and fitness and became a Certified Personal Trainer. I coach full-time at I-Fitness in Hasselt and I give online PT. I also give outdoor bootcamps during the Summer. In addition I teach evening classes to upcoming trainers at ‘Centrum voor Avondonderwijs’. I think being a Personal Trainer is the best job in the world because you can connect with so many different people (and you can wear comfy sports clothes all day 😊).

2️⃣ Why did you choose PCA for your education ?
I have followed a couple of workshops with PCA in the past and got to know some of their trainers/teachers. I loved the professionalism and was eager to learn more from them. PCA also provides a lot of advanced modules which I’m planning to follow in the future.

3️⃣ What did the NASM accreditation bring you ?
The NASM certification is very known internationally. I am a big advocate of continuous education and NASM allowed me to look at coaching from a different perspective.

4️⃣ What is your specialization ?
Working with people who are looking for a healthy, balanced lifestyle. People who want to escape their busy life and forget about everything else during for 60 minutes of me-time. I like to teach functional strength training because you need to be focused and aware of your movements.

5️⃣ What is the coolest exercise you like to do with your clients and why ?
I like to challenge my clients! It all starts with the basics of course, but once they’ve mastered that, there are no limits! I love the smile on their face when they ask: “Did you invented this yourself?”

6️⃣ What is the most fulfilling part in coaching others ?
Coaching others develops a certain type of relationship where trust is very important. Every person has their own story and background. Reaching goals which they never thought were possible, developing habits which they never thought they could, that is the most fulfilling part of it all. You give a lot of your energy to the client, but you get even more in return. That is the reason we are doing what we do.

7️⃣ What is your favorite quote ?
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt

The man who thinks he can and the man who thinks he can't are both right.

Blijf in beweging, ook al zijn de sportclubs gesloten. Sta niet stil bij wat je niet kan, maar kijk naar wat je wél kan!
