Sander Beenders has worked as a personal/strentgth trainer in Amsterdam for the last 8 years. I first saw Bob on Dutch television working with Epke Zonderland, Holland's #1 Olympic Gymnast. I was personally trained and certified by Bob in Holland in 2008 and have also trained with him in the US. I have a degree in sports medicine, and have been all over the world learning from the best strength trainers and nutritionists. I have been doing judo since the age of 5, and won several Dutch championships. During my time as a member of the special forces, I became 2nd on the world championships for military teams. After this, I worked in several places such as Australia, London, and the Canary islands as a personal/strength trainer. I currently work with the Dutch Olympic Gymnast Epke Zonderland, fiqure skaters, and several Dutch judo champions. I live in Amsterdam.
