Hamish Leijer –
Personal Trainer
Amsterdam
Personal training, kickboxing & nutrition coaching — at Basic-Fit, Sportcentrum VU and Sculptclub Jordaan.
Certified PT with a science-first approach
I am a certified personal trainer based in Amsterdam with 5 years of training experience, specialising in strength training, boxing and kickboxing. I’m a Henselmans certified PT with a background in Sports Science.
My strengths are my knowledge of strength training and nutrition, and the personal attention I give every client. Results are key — personalisation always comes before standard programmes.
I offer personal training, online coaching, kickboxing and boxing classes, and nutrition coaching — individually tailored to your goals.
Making health a lifelong habit is what I’m here for. A holistic approach to training, nutrition and lifestyle.
FAQ – Personal Training Amsterdam
What change are you offering?
“Freedom through routine and structure. When you follow a solid training and diet programme, you don’t have to think — just follow the plan and results will follow.”
What will I gain personally?
“A better, healthier you — through structured, science-based training and nutrition.”
How will you motivate me?
“When you train you feel better instantly — endorphins kick in right away. Long term: better bloodmarkers, improved cardiovascular fitness, more energy, stronger immune system.”
I’ve never been to a gym — where do I begin?
“You have to start somewhere — and I’ll help you take those first steps with confidence. Everybody is welcome. Every body is welcome.”
Why hire a PT instead of going to the gym alone?
- Some people feel intimidated by the gym — I guide you through every exercise.
- Others need the scheduled appointment as a structured motivational tool.
- Experienced lifters who have plateaued benefit from an expert eye.
- During or after physiotherapy — rebuilding strength requires proper guidance.

How to grow old and unhealthy — or neither
Amsterdam · 2026
Good news: we’re living longer. Less good news: we haven’t exactly gotten better at doing it healthily.
In this lecture series at Societeit De Kring, we explore why it keeps going wrong — and whether it really has to. With scientists, thinkers and people who have something meaningful to say about it, we dive into the big questions of ageing.
Not to frighten you. But to send you home a little wiser — and perhaps a little healthier.
