Samu Sorola

Hi there!

I’m Samu, a doctoral researcher in exercise and sports medicine from the University of Eastern Finland. I received personal trainer training while studying sports science in New Zealand. In addition, I have basic-level paramedic education and work as an athletics coach in Kuopion Reipas. I started playing sports when I was 3 years old, and I have competed and coached in varying sports. As an exercise enthusiast, I always want to learn something new. My hobbies include sprinting, throwing, dancing, gym, martial arts, and skiing.

My individual-based gym instructing and exercise programming is based on scientifically proven methods. Because of my background, I can approach gym training and personal goals from the perspectives of both well-being and sports. I like to keep the training encouraging and optimally challenging, considering the person’s experience level. It is important to me that the person being trained experiences that they are learning, succeeding, and feeling that they are getting closer to their personal goals after every session. My goal is that you become a self-motivated and self-sufficient exerciser who knows the exercise methods that suit your needs.

Please do not hesitate to contact me, I happily answer any additional questions!
