“Practise what you preach’’

Jordy van der Straaten

Jordy has been active in the fitness industry from the age of 15. Ever since he has broadened his horizon and his expertise. From full, personal lifestyle interventions, to group training, to bodybuilding and powerlifting, to posture corrections and sport specific training methods. 

Jordy decided to get his personal training certificate in 2013. In January 2015 he took the leap as an independent personal trainer. And thus, Fit Body Sports was born! He started with company fitness, bootcamps and personal training. After several years of personal training in different locations, July 1st 2020 a dream came true for Jordy: his very own personal training studio in the prestigious Van der Valk Hotel Den Haag – Nootdorp.

Every year Jordy participates in several courses and seminars by prominent coaches, both domestically and abroad. This way his knowledge stays up to date, and he is constantly aware of the latest trends and methods in the training industry. Also, this allows him to expand his network with other professionals in the fitness industry, which leads to new insights and experiences.

His vision isn’t limited to just sports and nutrition. Accomplishing goals doesn’t happen overnight. There needs to be a change in the way one thinks, the discipline, the perseverance and the focus. Jordy observes his clients thoroughly and gives them practical tips in order to let the process flow easily and accomplish the best possible result.  ‘’Success in the gym isn’t about talent or luck, it’s all about consistency!’’

“Succes in de sportschool draait namelijk niet om talent of geluk, het gaat om consistentie!”

“First master the basics, we’ll start building from there”

Dominique Ebben

Sports and movement have been a key aspect to Dominique’s life from an early age. After high school he decided to deepen into his knowledge of the human body, by studying movement technology. Here he learned how the human body functions and what the technological applications are. 

His first internship was at professional football club Feyenoord, in cooperation with the Erasmus MC. Here he did research on the predictability of cruciate ligament injury amongst professional football players. After this internship he did his thesis at Sparta Rotterdam. Here he created and analyzed individual data of football players during training and matches.

After he completed his bachelor in movement technology he decided to specialize in the improvement of human physical accomplishments. He participated in the master “Biophysics in Sports” at the VU Amsterdam. After his graduation he was offered a position as exercise physiologist for the youth of ADO Den Haag. 

As a job to pay for his study he started as an instructor for bootcamp training at Fit Body Sport. After a while he also started instructing the company fitness for Nederlandse Loterij and TUI. After a while he also took on strength and conditioning training for several sports clubs. 

Dominique is an incredibly versified trainer, coach and educator who guides his clients through physical and lifestyle improvements.
