Starting in February, Demi Op Heij will be giving personal training at Artisport Meerhoven. She will also work on Monday mornings in Meerhoven.
My name is Demi and I have a lot of love for my life met a huge passion for health and personal development.
Just about all my life I've done sports; soccer, boxing, (pole) dancing, running, skiing and I'm sure I've forgotten something else.
When I was 16 I got into fitness. It started well, but soon this became an obsession.
I ate everything I exercised by stuffing myself with candy and chocolate, because I deserved that, right?
I soon felt too fat and followed one diet after another; Sonja Bakker, Herbalife, Nutritional Plans, intermitted fasting and so on. It helped temporarily, but then came the yo-yo effect. The eating disorder I already had unconsciously became worse and worse... followed by 2 times a burnout.
But anyway long story short.... From there my passion was born. I started working in a gym next to my full-time job, where I developed into a full-time personal trainer and weight consultant. I found that I got a lot of satisfaction from all the people I was able to help 1-1.
After a while, I noticed that more was possible through coaching. You can change your behavior, but if in your mind you are still the same person, you will fall back into your old behavior.
Love Deems
