Personal Training Copenhagen
Your Personal Trainer in Copenhagen
Real Training. For Real People. I’m Philip, sports scientist and personal trainer in Nørrebro. I help busy people get strong and pain-free, with training that fits their week.

Sound familiar?
You know exactly what you should be doing. Life just keeps getting in the way.
Most of my clients didn’t lack willpower. They lacked a plan that respects their calendar, and a sparring partner who shows up for them.
Back-to-back meetings, kids to pick up, a gym membership you barely use. Maybe an old injury that makes you hesitant to load your body again. You’ve tried apps, YouTube workouts and classes, and every time it fizzled out after a few weeks.
That’s where I come in. We start from where you are today, not where a fitness influencer thinks you should be, and build training that survives busy weeks, business trips and bad days.
- Sessions that adapt on the spot: low energy, sore back or a great day, the plan adjusts to you
- Coaching grounded in sports science and physiotherapy, so you can train hard without fearing injury
- Someone who keeps you accountable, even when you don't feel like it
Heard in my intro calls
Three ways I can help
No hocus pocus. Just training that works.
From Basketball Bundesliga athletes to people who were always picked last for dodgeball: the principle stays the same: consistency in your training will bring you results.
Science-based rehabilitation & pain relief
A stiff neck from desk work, a knee that won't let you run, a back that flares up after travel. With my background in sports physiotherapy we find out what your body needs and rebuild trust in it, one session at a time.
Systematic strength & fitness
Strength is the foundation for almost everything you want to do. You'll learn to lift with confidence, watch your numbers go up and notice the difference in everyday life, from carrying your kids to taking the stairs.
Nutrition coaching
What you eat decides how you feel, recover and look. Together we set up simple eating habits that work with your schedule, whether your goal is weight loss, more energy at work or better performance.
Your training location
This is where we train.
A fully equipped partner gym in Nørrebro: turf lanes, racks, free weights and everything a modern strength and rehab program needs. No crowds, no waiting, just focused 1:1 work.
Partner gym in Nørrebro
- Borups Allé 45, 2200 København N
- Morning, lunch break or after work: we find a fixed slot that fits your week.

How we work together
Individual. Flexible. Efficient.
I’ll meet you where you are right now, and then we take the next step together. Couch potato or ambitious athlete, we’ll get you to the next level.
Kick-off assessment
We begin with a detailed performance test and movement analysis. It shows your strengths, your weak links and the starting line for everything that follows.
Your personal program
Based on the kick-off you get a training plan designed for your goal and your week. Morning, lunch break or after work: we pick the slots you can realistically keep.
1:1 sessions in Nørrebro
In the gym I'm fully focused on you. I coach your technique, push you when you're ready and dial things back when your body asks for it.
We work as a team
I'm not a drill sergeant, I'm your sparring partner. You bring openness and commitment, I bring my expertise and follow up between sessions, including on the workouts you do on your own.

FAQ
Good to know before you start.
The questions people ask me most often about personal training in Copenhagen.
Still wondering about something?
Ask me directly. That’s exactly what the free intro call is for.
Can I achieve my goals if I have limited time?
The simple answer is: yes. Together we create a training plan and frequency that you can realistically integrate into your daily routine. Most of my clients have demanding jobs and families, and that’s exactly who the program is designed for.
What fitness level do I need to start?
There is no minimum fitness level. You can be a complete beginner who has never exercised before. What I expect is openness, a willingness to collaborate and a genuine commitment to letting go of old habits and building new ones.
What does personal training cost?
It depends on how many sessions per week make sense for your goal. In the intro call I’ll walk you through the options and prices openly, and you only decide after you’ve experienced a free trial session.
How long does a collaboration last?
The minimum commitment when starting is 12 weeks, as experience shows this is the time needed for meaningful results. After that we sit down and decide together how to continue. Most clients work with me for at least six months.
Where does the training take place?
All sessions take place at our fully equipped partner gym at Borups Allé 45 in Nørrebro, 2200 København N. You need a membership at the gym, which also gives you the right to train there on your own between our sessions.
I have back pain or I'm recovering from an injury. Can I still train?
Yes, and it’s one of my favourite things to work on. Many clients come to me after injuries or with chronic pain. I adapt every exercise to your current capacity, and if you’re seeing a doctor or physio, I’m happy to coordinate with them.
