STRENGTH COACH

More and more athletes want to specialize in the various disciplines of fitness. This certainly applies to strength training. Gyms, specialized gyms, strength & conditioning centers and boot camp companies are responding to this by organizing special Strength Classes. 
 
Dutch HDA is the only training academy in the Netherlands that provides a full-fledged training: Strength Coach. The training integrates all strength disciplines of Strongman, Powerlifting, Weightlifting, Strength Classes & Powerbuilding.
 
The training is strongly practical and modular. We teach you to perfect the techniques, but also to see the connections and to connect the different parts. In this way you become a strength specialist in all ways of training outside the regular fixed equipment within the gym. We help you program and periodize so that you can develop an attractive and varied training for every customer.

All-rounder in Strength

The umbrella term is Strength or strength training, which includes sports such as: Powerlifting, Weightlifting, Strongman, Strength Classes, Powerbuilding and everything in between. Between these sports and concepts there is a lot of overlap in exercises, training methods, periodization models, supporting physical properties, lesson structure and much more. Don't follow all kinds of different courses, but find everything in one! 

The biggest reason why customers stop training is when they find exercising boring and no longer get results. The Strength Coach training teaches you to build up exercises progressively AND how to program. Afterwards you can offer your customers something unique that will motivate them, achieve results and make progress thanks to your own periodization!
