How people feel when they train with me matters more to me than anything else.

I want people to feel seen. I want them to know I’m paying attention and that they’re never just another person in the group. I want them to feel comfortable asking questions, telling me when something doesn’t feel right, trying something they’re unsure about and occasionally getting something completely wrong without feeling stupid.

I want people to feel challenged, but never intimidated. Supported, but never singled out. I want them to leave feeling proud of what they’ve done and more confident in what their body is capable of.

And I want them to feel that they belong. That they’re welcome, that people notice when they’re there and that they’re part of something.

Of course I care about good programming, good coaching, getting stronger and making progress. But none of that changes the fact that there’s a human being standing in front of me, and how that person experiences being coached matters enormously.

If I can create all of that while also making people stronger, then I think that might be the best thing I get to make ♥️

Someone once told me I invest myself too much in the people I coach.

They were probably right 😂

I remember birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, operations, injuries, stressful weeks, new jobs, family things and conversations we had months ago.

But understanding someone’s life helps me coach the person standing in front of me.

Sometimes I need to know when to push. Sometimes I need to know when the programme I wrote on Sunday is absolutely not the programme we’re doing today. Sometimes I know why someone hasn’t been to class before they’ve even told me.

And somewhere along that path, that’s also how a community gets built.

People know each other. They notice when someone is missing. They celebrate each other’s wins. They ask how the operation went or how the new job is going.

Could I be less invested? Of course I could 😁

Am I going to be?

Probably not 😂❤️

The complaints are part of the experience 😂❤️

But so is showing up, doing the work, getting stronger and coming back week after week.

And I wouldn’t have my outdoor crew any other way 🙌🏼

Here I am once again 🎧😂

Same place. Same time. Equipment ready. Headphones on.

Because one of the things I love most about fixed group training is that we don’t have to negotiate with our schedules every single week.

You know when you train.
Your group knows when you train.
And I know when you train.

Of course, life happens and occasionally you can’t make it. But the default stays the same: this is your training time.

And yes, that means here I am once again too 😂

Consistency doesn’t need to be exciting. It just needs to happen often enough to become part of your week.

See you outside 🎧💪🏼

I don’t believe in flexible group workout schedules 👀
Endless class options that lead to… none.

At least, not for the people who come to me because they want more consistency with their training 😉

Having endless options sounds convenient, but it also means making the same decision every week. Which day shall I go? What time works? Maybe tomorrow would be better?

With my fixed groups, that decision has already been made.

You train on the same day, at the same time, with the same group. I provide the programming, the equipment and the coaching. You know where you need to be and when.

Your job is to show up.

Of course life happens. You’ll miss a session occasionally. But the default is that this is when you train.

And that’s exactly what I want to help people build: not a constant reliance on motivation, but a training habit that has a regular place in their week.

Trust me when I say that consistency gets much easier when you stop renegotiating your training schedule with yourself every week.

Results aren’t built from constantly finding new workouts or waiting until you feel motivated.

They’re built by training consistently and repeating the things that work for long enough to actually get better at them.

That’s exactly how I run my outdoor training.

I provide the framework, the programming, the equipment and the coaching. I plan what we’re doing and how we progress it, so you don’t have to spend time deciding what to train or wondering whether you’re doing the right thing.

Your job is to show up and do the work.

Then come back and do it again.

Over time, showing up becomes a habit. You get stronger. You get fitter. And that consistency is what creates results 💪🏼

I absolutely love being self-employed.

But the person responsible for setting my working hours really needs to get a grip 😂

It’s me. I’m the person.

Apparently “day off” means getting dressed for lunch and then casually finalising Thursday’s training boards on the way out 😂

Behind every outdoor class is a fair bit of work you don’t see. Programming, revisiting exercises and videos, planning progressions, thinking through cues, coaching points and adaptations, and making sure I know exactly what I want from each session.

Then, of course, there are the boards. Because expecting everyone to remember what I said 45 seconds ago would be wildly optimistic 😜

I love this part though. Good coaching starts long before everyone arrives at Karen Blixens Plads.

Now I’m going for lunch 😎🫶🏼
