Sound familiar?

I know that I should exercise and eat healthy, but…

None of that means you failed. It means the plan never fitted the life you actually have.

See how I work

  • Diets and challenges that work, until the week gets busy.
  • Weight loss that is slower than it used to be.
  • Gym feels boring or intimidating.
  • Worried eating healthy means hours of cooking.
  • Worried eating healthy means carrying tupperware around.
  • You keep saying you'll start when you're less busy.

What changes

What if your best health is the foundation of your best life, instead of the reward of working hard?

Build a body and routine that make the rest of your life better.

I feel stronger

Real, useful strength you notice carrying shopping and climbing stairs, not just in the gym.

I'm fitter than ever

More capacity through a long day, and more left over at the end of it.

I'm happy with how I look

Body composition that moves in the right direction, tracked properly rather than guessed at.

I'm able to move

Mobility and flexibility that keep you out of pain and comfortable in your own body.

I feel energized

Sleep, stress and food working with you instead of against you.

Consistency feels easy

A system that survives a bad week, so you stop starting again from zero.

Most consistent clients begin to feel a difference within about four weeks, and build clear first results over twelve. What that looks like depends on where you start, your goal and your recovery. No promises about numbers.

The Fray Method

Five pillars, one plan

Most coaching stops at sets, reps and calories. I look at the whole person in front of me, then build the plan around your body, your goal, your schedule and the life you are actually living.

  1. 01

    Mental Health

    Mindset, cravings and the patterns that pull you back. This is where consistency is actually won.

  2. 02

    Exercise

    Move well, stay mobile, build strength that makes everyday life easier.

  3. 03

    Nutrition

    Understand what works for your body. No carrying meals to work, no food rules you cannot keep.

  4. 04

    Lifestyle

    A plan that bends around travel, deadlines and a social life instead of competing with them.

  5. 05

    Recovery

    Sleep, stress and deload weeks, so progress keeps going and injuries do not start.

The part most trainers leave out

Alongside training and nutrition I use behaviour change, mindset work and hypnosis to work on cravings, self-sabotage and the habits that keep undoing your progress. It is coaching, not treatment, and for a lot of people it is the difference between another attempt and the last one.

Apply for Personal Training

Tell me where you are and I'll be honest about whether I can help. That's all a first conversation is.

How it works

This is how I'll walk you through the process

If you want lasting change, this requires us to have a clear, personalized strategy we both believe in.

Start at step one

  1. 01

    Intake and matching

    A 30 minute conversation to talk through your goals, your current situation, and whether we are a good fit for each other.

  2. 02

    Testing and assessment

    A full body mobility, flexibility and strength assessment, plus an InBody analysis so we know exactly where we are starting.

  3. 03

    Your personal plan

    Training, nutrition and the relevant lifestyle, recovery and mindset actions, all built around you rather than pulled off a shelf.

  4. 04

    Coaching and progression

    Weekly evaluation and programme adjustments, with measurements roughly every other week where they are useful.

  5. 05

    Results and development

    Changes you feel within about four weeks, meaningful first results over twelve, then long enough for it to actually last.

What's included

Everything that comes with working together

  • 60 minute one to one sessions at TrainMore Koninginneweg, Amsterdam Zuid
  • Intake conversation and a full mobility, flexibility and strength assessment
  • InBody body composition analysis

About Claudio

I also struggled with my (mental) health

I studied Medicine at the University of Amsterdam and got as far as the final year before I left. I did not agree with the way we were being trained to wait for disease and then treat it. What interested me was everything that happens before that: prevention, behaviour, habits, the things that decide how someone actually lives.

So I went the practical route instead. Nutrition and dietetics, AALO personal training and fitness through to level four, fitness nutrition through ISSA, and more than a decade of applying it with real people. Over 1,100 of them since 2015.

I also know what it is like to run businesses, work long hours, and let your own health slide to the bottom of the list. And I know harder things than that. I have come through addiction, through bulimia, through mental and physical health battles, and I have had to rebuild myself using the same tools I now coach with. Hypnosis was a real part of getting sober and changing what I craved.

I tell you this because it is why I coach the whole person rather than just the hour of training. When you say it feels impossible, I am not guessing.

I understand it feels impossible for you sometimes. I have been there as well. But it gets better, I promise.

We're in this together. It's a collaboration. I want you to think of me as your coach for a long period, not just an hour of training. I'm right there with you, one message away.

If any of that sounds like where you are, I'd like to hear from you.

Questions

What people ask before they start

Yes, and you are in good company. A lot of my clients start exactly there. Sessions are one to one, paced to you, and nobody is watching. We start with movement quality and build from there.

I am not the right coach if

  • You want HYROX, competition prep, bodybuilding, physique work or a photoshoot level physique. I have colleagues who are better at that and I will introduce you
  • You are looking for a one-off quick fix without changing anything else
  • You need medical or rehabilitation care outside my scope, in which case I will refer you to the right professional
