But you might just feel a little bit overwhelmed with all the health and fitness goeroes that are out there posting the next crazy fitness challenge, gym-hack, superfood recipe, or trendy diet Sound familiar? No worries, non of that over here. You are in the right place.
Why I’m starting this newsletter
I just turned 31, and last year, I made a huge change. I packed up my life in Belgium and moved to Ireland, where I knew absolutely no one. I wanted a fresh adventure, a new challenge, and a chance to shake things up. It was terrifying, exciting, and exactly what I needed.
But that wasn’t the only change I was planning to make.
For years, I have been working a full-time corporate job, but my passion for health, fitness, and longevity has grown so much that I have decided to steer my life in a new direction.
Right now, I’m working toward becoming a certified Personal Trainer, not just for myself, but because I want to help other people, people with busy jobs, social lives, and families to get stronger, fitter and overall healthier in a way that is sustainably for the long term.
What Lift2Last Is All About
Too much of the fitness world is focused on quick fixes, aesthetics, and extreme plans that no one can stick to. That’s not me. I believe in building a strong, healthy life that fits into real life—one that you can sustain for the long haul.
So what can you expect?
Simple, no-BS fitness tips (because life is already complicated enough)
Nutrition tips & delicious recipes (I love to cook on the side also)
Workout ideas that fit into a busy schedule
follow my along my own journey, my own struggles, wins, and lessons along the way (because no, I also have met yet figured all of this out)
You are not just starting a newsletter when you start a Substack, you are starting a community. You are inviting people to subscribe to your thinking. What kind of space will this be?

This isn’t just another fitness newsletter, it’s my personal journey, and I want you to be part of it. If this sounds like your vibe, hit that subscribe button and follow along.
