Meet the Personal Trainer: Katrien Sas

By Paulien van Embden | 27 May 2021 | Testimonials

1. Can you introduce yourself ? 

I am Katrien (@bibi_katrien), Personal trainer and confidence coach. I am specialized in woman and have a degree in pre-and-postnatal training. After giving training in Basic-Fit for few years, I opened my own feel-good studio a week ago: BIBI Antwerpen together with Hellen. We focus on body confidence and having a good relationship with food and movement. Besides Small group training and Personal Training at BIBI we offer a meal prep-membership. That means clients receive a week menu, shopping list and a guide to prepare their food for the whole week  in maximum 3 hours. If they prefer just taking home their meal prep after their training, Hellen will have it ready and cooked for them.

2. Why did you choose PCA for your education ?

For me PCA is by far the best option in Belgium. They do not only provide good basics but give you complete options to specialize in the field you want to work in.

3. What did the NASM accreditation bring you ?

It changed my life. I have a Master degree in Special Education and was working with drug addicts. I love coaching people but working with addictions was hard on me. Thanks to my NASM accreditation, I found a way to combine my passion for sports by coaching people. 

4. What is your specialization ?

I am specialized in woman and have a degree in pre-and-postnatal training. But I am known for working a lot on body image, confidence, body neutrality, selfcare, self-love,...

5. What is the coolest exercise you like to do with your clients and why ?

You might laugh, but small corrective exercises, like loosening the fascia and muscle in the foot with a ball and showing the client the extra range of motion that was created. Clients are amazed by the effects of small mobilizations. I learned so much from the Assess & Correct course. 

6. What is the most fulfilling part in coaching others ?

Seeing how their confidence grows and how they become stronger not only physically but also mentally.

7. What is your favorite quote ?

"The most alluring thing a woman can have is confidence."
