Pieter Smeets - the owner and founder of grow

 

MSc in Sports Science and Kinesiology, ETH Zurich

 

Movement and exercise has always been a crucial part of my lifestyle from an early age on. I played and participated in multiple sports from an early age which led to my decision to study sports and exercise science.

 

I graduated from ETH Zurich receiving a Master’s Degree in Sports Science and Kinesiology. Working for over 15 years in the Health & Fitness industry, I have helped everyone from high level athletes during my coaching internships in the US, looking for a competitive edge to weekend warriors and adults looking to look, move and feel better.

 

A big advocate of continuing education, I have had the opportunity to learn from some of the best coaches in the field of strength and conditioning and am continually furthering my education in order to provide the best training programs for the adults and athletes training at grow.

MSc Health and Exercise Sciences, Universität Basel

 

From a young age I was into all kinds of different sport activities. In my youths I started training and coaching young people and took J+S courses to get better at it.

 

My love of sports led me to study Health and Exercise Sciences at the University of Basel. Throughout my academic studies I learnt all about the health benefits a well- structured and well-coached exercise program can have.

 

It was then when I decided to focus my further education and my time on making and keeping people healthy through exercise.

 

 Getting deeper into it, I realized it is important to take everything into account that affects our health. This insight led me to take a course in nutrition coaching, to help my clients achieve their goals more effectively.

  • Certified Functional Strength Coach Level 2
  • Mastersdegree Health and Exercise sciences, UniBasel
  • Functional Movements Screen (FMS)
  • Functional Capacity Screen (FCS)
  • Precision Nutrition Coach Level1

Klaudia Burdzy.

 

BSc in Physiotherapy, ZHAW Winterthur (in Education)

 

Movement for me is the ultimate form of self-care and relaxation - not only for the body, but also for the mind. I have decided to study physiotherapy, as I was always amazed how much the human body can handle, how capable it is to regenerate and re- build, if one is motivated enough to work on it.

 

I love to be a part of this process of change and achievement, when I guide my clients through exercises and help them move and feel better.

 

I am a true believer that balance, positive attitude, and consistency are real game changers in achieving your health goals. Being a real anatomy nerd, I love to study movements, research exercises and always keep an eye on the client's ergonomics when they perform them.

 

In my classes I like to give you a safe place to be yourself - making you feel taken care of as well as positively motivated.
