Who is Buff Body?

The Team Behind Buff Body

Buff Body Fitness was started in 2017 and launched shorty after in 2018 by Dieter, a personal trainer with more than 10 years of experience and Patrick, who works behind the scenes as the producer.

We share our knowledge for free on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, and provide fully personalized training programs, as well as our online 30 Day Challenge, if you’re new to the world of working out or feel stuck in your routine.

Our goal is to educate as many people as possible in fitness and share our passion with you. We want to help you live a healthier life and reach your dream body.

Since I was young I was fascinated by the working of the human body, and a sports addict, especially when high speed and airtime were involved. That’s why I studied, and got my degree in Sports Science and Biology. So I could combine my passion and work, and try to deliver the message with passion and enthusiasm, hoping to help people in their search of their passion.

I am a L1 Crossfit trainer, L1 Kettlebell trainer and a HI certificated trainer. I continue attending seminars with the worlds’ best trainers, Olympic gold medal winners, etc.. I have over 10 years of experience in the field, previously owning my own personal training studio in Belgium, and now being one of the head coaches of Crossfit Elviria, and providing my services in several of the leading hotels and gyms of Marbella, Spain.

My passions are wave windsurfing and freestyle snowboarding. In 2018 I became father of a second gorgeous kid, raising my boy and girl together with my wife and teaching them the values of a healthy, active outdoor lifestyle. All this while enjoying the beauty that nature, the nice climate, beach and sea have to offer.

As you can only reach that many people with personal and small group trainings, I felt the urge of sharing the knowledge I have accumulated over the last 10 years through an online platform.

That’s how together with Patrick I started Buff Body.

I’m the guy working the magic behind the scenes of Buff Body. 

I’m not making this a secret, when I was still a teenager I did not care about sports and fitness at all. I played some soccer back as a kid, but even that stopped at some point. I was always the tall, skinny guy and did not care about building muscle and in fact I thought, I could never significantly grow anyway.

Coming from a background in video-game development, everything I did involved my mind – taking video-games from concept to a shippable product. Obviously, mainly sitting behind my Mac or PC. At some point, I felt the need to move more and signed up for the gym.

So me, the nerdy guy who couldn’t rock a single pull-up, put on his Batman shirt and went to the gym. But over time, I started taking it more and more serious, felt the difference it made to my body. My posture improved and I started seeing some results – even though only little at this point.

Unfortunately, due to my tall and skinny nature I also realized, in a painful way, how you can injure yourself, if you do certain things wrong. I suffered from back issues for a long time. These same injuries, I was able to fix with the right training again.

I know from experience how important the right training is for your health, but also for shaping the body you want. After adjusting my workout and nutrition to my body type, I grew more within a few months, than during several years before.

Working out became a passion to me. So I decided I wanted to start a fitness platform, that shares this passion with the world and helps others live a healthier life and shape their dream bodies.

I met Dieter and our views and ambitions perfectly alined. Buff Body was born.
