Meet Erik Meijer — a world-class coach with a no-nonsense approach to transformation. With over 30 years in the health and fitness industry and one of only a handful of Dorian Yates HIT Master Trainers worldwide, Erik is not your average personal trainer — he's the go-to expert for results when nothing but the best will do.

From Bangkok to London, from Zürich to The Hague, Erik has worked with everyone from weekend warriors and CEOs to Olympic athletes and A-list celebrities. Whether your goal is fat loss, mobility, muscle, or simply reclaiming the edge that built your success — he’s done it, seen it, and coached it.

Some names you might recognize:

 

​

• Samantha Womack, actress (EastEnders)

• Jon Campling, actor (Harry Potter, Final Fantasy)

• Marcel Veenendaal, singer (Lead singer of Di-rect)

• Professor Panagiotis Gikas, world-renowned orthopaedic surgeon and Medical Director at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital.

Erik’s deep expertise lies in High Intensity Training (HIT) — a brutally effective, science-backed strength protocol developed by Arthur Jones and popularized by bodybuilding greats like Dorian Yates and Mike Mentzer. Trained directly by Yates himself — and mentored by legends like Tom Platz, Samir Bannout, Ricky Hatton, and Master Thonglor Amatsena — Erik brings world-class standards to every session.

He’s also one of the rare European trainers personally mentored by celebrity trainer Jorgen de Mey (coach to Angelina Jolie, Ben Affleck, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Brady, and more). Erik continues to collaborate with Jorgen in Los Angeles to stay at the forefront of elite fitness innovation.

From 1994 to 2018, Erik coached clients across Europe and Asia, including a long tenure in Chelsea’s top private studios. Since 2024, he’s brought his global experience back home to the Netherlands — now based in one of The Hague’s most prestigious training facilities.

And if you’re recovering from surgery or injury? Erik is your guy. With years of experience working alongside top orthopaedic surgeons, including specialists at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in London, he’s also a trusted expert in prehab and rehab.

He’s proudly affiliated with:​

 

• The British Orthopaedic Association

• The Royal Society of Medicine.
