Moving to Amsterdam can be exciting, and at the same time overwhelming. Between finding housing, navigating Dutch bureaucracy, and adjusting to a new culture, it’s easy for fitness to slip down the list. Yet staying active is one of the best ways to create stability in a new environment.
That’s where personal training comes in. But if you’re an expat, you might be wondering: Can I find an English-speaking personal trainer in Amsterdam? Will they understand my needs and schedule? The answer is yes, and at B-One, that’s exactly what we do.
Many expats arrive with busy jobs, family responsibilities, and plenty of stress. Add to that a city filled with distractions—terraces, bike rides, and travel plans—and consistency can be hard.
Personal training offers structure. You don’t just sign up for a gym and hope for the best. You get a coach who creates a plan around your life. That means:
One of the biggest frustrations for expats? Commercial gyms that feel overwhelming or impersonal. At B-One, all sessions take place in private studios in the Jordaan, Oud-Zuid, or W Hotel in the city center.
That means no waiting for equipment, no intimidation, and no distractions. Just you, your trainer, and a focused environment where results come faster.
Expats at B-One come with different goals:
Because every trainer has a specialty, we match you with the one best suited to your goals.
Take Abi, for example. Originally from the UK, she is a managing director at a creative agency and raises two kids here in Amsterdam. Training with her coach Sebastian gave her structure and support. Helping her balance family, work, and health. After three years, she’s stronger, more confident, and even started her own fitness competition.
Stories like Abi’s show that personal training is more than workouts. It’s building a lifestyle that helps you thrive, both personally and professionally, in a new city.
Yes, you can absolutely find personal training in Amsterdam as an expat. The key is choosing a coach who speaks your language, understands your lifestyle, and provides the accountability you need to stay consistent.
At B-One, we’ve built a community of internationals who all share one thing: the belief that health is the foundation for everything else. Whether you’re here for a few years or planning to stay long-term, training with a personal coach can make Amsterdam feel like home. But faster.
