Bas - Fitness & PT
Perhaps one of Sebastian's biggest achievements are how long-standing his clients are, and how frequently they recommend him to friends.
Sebastian will know you, push you, support you and help you get it done. He will level-up your workouts and remove any shred of monotony. You will sweat, push, box, reach and then want to do it over again.
When initially training in musculoskeletal therapy and considering becoming a physiotherapist, Sebastian saw first hand the role of strength training in rehabilitation and injury prevention. It was this that encouraged him to deviate back to his roots in PT, and fully integrate both offerings for his clients.
He's a firm believer that adults need to feel strong, and that this is central to our shape, mood, to injury prevention and as an anti ageing tool.
As a degree qualified myotherapist, Seb understands human anatomy. If you have a shoulder injury, a back problem or a joint issue
- he knows what to do, and what not to do. You'll reach your goals in a considered manner with Seb.
An avid kickboxing enthusiast, he will often integrate martial arts as well as natural hurdles like slopes and sand to keep things interesting and keep you engaged.
If you want a longterm personal training partner, a good energy, and someone who will make you stronger for life - contact Sebastian and his team.
