How it all started.....

As you can see, my name is Pim Patoir and I am now 34 years old...

​

So, that's out!

​

In fact, I have been actively involved in sports all my life. From soccer when I was little (although I waited more with my thumb in my mouth for the ball to come), to tennis (I wasn't really good at it either) and eventually switched to hockey. This suited me quite well, although I didn't think running was a good option so I started goalkeeping fairly quickly. From 2nd class to 1st class, to half a year transition class. Unfortunately I got a serious injury that forced me to stop. After my recovery I thought: what am I going to do now? Because I want to keep busy! Golf turned out to be my real passion. I was on the golf course 5 days a week, won many competitions and I can still be found on the golf course regularly. Nowadays no longer professionally, but for fun.  

​

"But when did you start the work you do now?" After my hockey injury I was unable to walk on my right foot for several months. Then, for my recovery, I started working out myself with a personal trainer who I was sure was really qualified. I noticed a difference in no time and he indicated that I picked up everything very quickly. This sparked my interest in giving personal training myself and so I quickly started doing my first fitness training, called: FitVak A. I grew to FitVak B and subsequently completed the NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine). . I found that I could apply the information very quickly and well to the objectives of my clients at that time. I also regularly follow courses and through books etc. I keep my knowledge so high that I always speak according to science. If I don't know, I'll tell you honestly and I'll find out. If I do not agree with something, I will explain to you as best I can and substantiate why not. Ultimately, change will be the key to your success!

​

In between, I moved 2 more times to Curaçao to embark on an adventure and to develop myself even more personally and within my field. I gained a lot of experience there as a personal coach and won the 3 biggest golf tournaments with my team!

Since 3 years I have also been training and coaching at Hockeyclub Kampong Ladies 8 and Ladies 18. Very nice to do and this is something I can also put my energy into.

​

I have been back in the Netherlands since 2019, which I am very happy with. At the moment I work at Fit For Free in Oudenoord in Utrecht where I help my clients in the way that suits them. I'm really not going to tell you any fables, you can read the fables newspaper for that ;-) I will help you in the way that really suits you!

​

ps. sports should be fun too!
