Loraine van der Zijden

CrossFit Coach, Personal Trainer
 

While I excel in my daily work as a Financial Controller, I realized that coaching adds a different kind of energy into my life. Not instead of my work as a Financial Controller, but alongside it, adding variety and a passion that drives me in a whole new way. I get a lot of energy from helping people grow — both physically and mentally.

Through Strongman training and CrossFit, I learned how training can transform far more than just your body. It builds confidence, resilience, and a mindset that carries over into every part of life. Experiencing that myself made me want to pay it forward.

Earning my CrossFit Level 1 certification was a natural first step, but also the start of a much bigger journey. Coaching allows me to combine my analytical background with my passion for guiding people toward progress. Whether it’s learning a new skill, lifting something you didn’t think you could, or simply walking out feeling better than when you walked in.

Now I’m here to help you Excel in your own way, at your own pace, and to show you what you’re truly capable of.
