Physical exercise background and work experience
I have been physically active in a wide variety of sports since childhood. For many years, my main sports were synchronized skating and pesäpallo (Finnish baseball), the latter of which I played at the highest national league level. These sports gave me a strong athletic foundation, for which I am very grateful today.
Later on, strength training and functional training truly captured my interest, and nowadays my workouts focus mainly on free-weight training at the gym. To balance this, I also enjoy running and walking in nature.
I became inspired to start coaching gym training in 2020 alongside my own strength training and a new, motivating work environment. In my coaching, I emphasize versatile training using both free weights and gym machines. I also make use of different exercise variations with dumbbells and kettlebells. I pay special attention to correct technique and body control to ensure that training remains safe. If you wish, I can also provide tips for home or outdoor workouts.
As a coach, I am positive, encouraging, and easy to approach. In my coaching, I encourage clients to try new and even more challenging movements, as there is nothing better than seeing yourself exceed your limits and experience success. You are welcome to join my coaching just as you are – I want to help you move toward your goals related to exercise and overall well-being.
The most important thing in my coaching is a relaxed approach to well-being. I want us to find a way of moving and training that truly suits you and that you enjoy.
Welcome to my coaching!
“Tiina led a series of effective outdoor training sessions for us during the winter of 2021–2022. We used nearby outdoor gyms, staircases, and other urban environments, and the sessions were both fun and sweaty! We highly recommend Tiina’s outdoor workouts,” say PT duo clients Paula and Irina.
