Coaching

In his professional life, Yiannis has been working as a coach since 2012 and has trained anyone within the range of athletes to fitness enthusiasts just getting started. His coaching philosophy is based on firstly understanding the individuality of each person, and then planning the entire training process accordingly. Early in his career, he specialized in the design of tailor-made training plans and online coaching. Using his academic knowledge and his years of field experience, he has long been designing training plans that cater to the individual needs and goals of each trainee.

Athleticism

Due to his love for movement, Yiannis has experienced a variety of sports and activities as an amateur athlete. During his academic years, he quickly understood the need for practicing what he was learning in theory, not only on his trainees, but also on himself. For this reason, his own training often shifts in goals and directions, depending on what he wants to test and the field of knowledge he wants to delve into.

Currently

Currently, Yannis is working as an online coach, and also shares his years of knowledge gathered by academic education and field experience, through his seminars, online programs and his informative YouTube channel.
