1 to 1 Personal training
“I met with Kjartan through a mutual friend when I first arrived in Finland”
At that time, I weighed about 103 kg/225 lbs. I had horrible dietary habits, which mainly involved eating around 1 meal per day, and taking most of my calories in via a “liquid diet”. I felt horrible, and most of my confidence was completely gone at that time
“My main challenge was a mental block -I had trouble getting out of bed most days”
unless it was to go out with friends for drinks late at night. I had almost no physical activity on a daily basis, except for walking around the city when I couldn’t sleep well.
“We had a very open and honest conversation about where I was with my overall health”
sleep, diet, and mental situation. He was able to put together a plan that not only included working out and diet goals, but a more all-encompassing plan of turning my lifestyle around.
“I saw steady improvement overall. He was constantly in my corner on workouts, but more importantly in other aspects of life”
and was always encouraging me to do the very best I could. It has been about 2 months now since my training plan ended, but I was able to use what he taught me to really motivate myself into a much healthier lifestyle. Following his example, I was able to take an entire dry month, work out on a regular basis, and am even re-forming bonds with positive hobbies in my life. I can now proudly say that I’m almost at my goal weight, and unfortunately have to re-build most of my wardrobe because of this.
