Sam Thomas

Coach

Spoken languages: English, Dutch

Bio

Sam graduated from Erasmus Hogeschool, Brussels with a Bachelor degree as a Dietician.

He has always been interested in sport and has a background in swimming, soccer, cycling, marathon running and he has also participated in triathlons. Unfortunately, several injuries limited his further sports performance but, in turn, sparked his interest in strength training, injury prevention, rehabilitation and sports performance. He also followed courses at KILO and YPSI to further expand his education and knowledge.
After a few years working in a commercial gym, Sam decided to focus his efforts on becoming a top personal trainer and combining his knowledge of nutrition and strength training to provide the best service possible for his clients.
Sam’s motos are walk the talk and never stop learning in order to become the best version of himself both for himself and his clients. We are very happy to have Sam in our DH Team – he is serious about helping clients and this, combined with his caring attitude makes him a very nice fit for our DH Family.
