Hi there! I’m Coach Eik.

I’m a (in no specific order) Coach, Wife, Sister, Daughter, Dog mom to Loki (adopted from a UAE shelter in 2021) and Mom to little Oliver, born September 2024. Originally from Iceland but, I’ve lived 9 years in Denmark (Copenhagen, Roskilde, and Aalborg ) before spending 7 years in the UAE (Abu Dhabi & Dubai). My international journey has made me deeply aware of cultural differences and the many ways to achieve results.

I’m a bit of an overachiever who struggles to sit still and loves pushing her own boundaries. I've competed in multiple sports and praticipated in several endurance events and most recently, I’ve competed at the highest level in CrossFit, including three appearances at the CrossFit Games (1x Team, 2x Individual).


Former Elite Athlete

I learned it the hard way that more and more is not always better. And I know that bottomless feeling that everyone else seems to have it all together, be able to do way more than you can, improve faster, get stronger have nicer things and all that. After retiring from competing myself I strive to bring the lessons of elite training and seek to inspire, educate and coach.

My purpose for existing is to grow better humans by inspiring and challenging myself and others both intellectually and physically.

My mission is to empower more functional fitness enthusiast just like you through expert guidance and sustainable practices to achieve peak performance without having to join in on the the hustle culture.

I am extremely curious of the human body and behaviour, my forever ending journey to better myself in this field includes the following qualifications UAE REP´s qualified Personal Trainer, BSc. in Physiotherapy (Roskilde, 2014), a certified IAK Personal Trainer (Iceland, 2009) and a Precision Nutrition Certified Nutrition Coach, CrossFit Level 2 and CrossFit Gymnastics certified coach. And I am nowhere nearly done adding knowledge and qualifications.

Big Five Values For Life are

  1. Few Good Friends many acquaintances. Loyalty and safety with deep connection in personal relationships.

  2. Always looking for ways to be more productive on my journey to achievements, knowledge and growth

  3. Prioritise my Health, by practicing my fitness to continue growing and be prepared for adversity and future challenges.

  4. Use my Creativity, authenticity, sarcasm and humor to share information and my passion with others.

  5. Keep excitement and need for change in my life by exploring, going on adventures and accepting challenges

If you or someone you know can help me fulfill any of these, feel free to contact me HERE

I use these 5 values to help navigating my work life and help clients through the abundance of information out there by simplifying the foundations of Thriving Lifestyle and helping people to fall in love with training and healthier choices.

As A Coach.

I have been working full time in some kind of coaching for 15 years. I have worked with clients ranging from disabilities and severe injuries to people who are looking to optimize their elite performance. I combine my knowledge as a Physiotherapist, Personal trainer, Nutritionist, Coach and Pro Athlete to understand both the needs and requirements of the person who wants to get back in shape after a set back or to improve the quality of life, as well as the elite athlete that is striving to maximise their results.

I see beyond the actual workout we do in each session. My secret talent and ingredients in COACHING is to help you dig deeper, to find your unique inspiration, and to start to enjoy the process of making smarter choices.

I thrive of the joy it brings to people when they find balance in their activities & habits and start to see how those are the investment on the road to live a long active, happy and healthy life.

Sincerely

Coach Eik
